Time, I think, to put in a good word for Jackson & Gibbens (J&G) cycling shorts. I think their touring shorts are more likely to be well known here. http://www.bicycleclothing.com/index.html I've been using their "Unisex Lycra" shorts for a year now, and am quite happy with them. At $60 ea they're quite economical, too. And they're made in Oregon. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
