885.0. "Touring shorts?" by TALLIS::JBELL (Wot's..Uh the Deal?) Mon Sep 26 1988 15:24

	I'm looking for the shorts that have pockets.

	Ever since slinky bike shorts have become fashionable, the
	touring shorts have disapearred.  By touring shorts, I
	mean the rather normal looking shorts that have a liner as
	well as pockets.  If possible I'ld like the Connondale variety.

	They're gone from the Nashbar catalog and the bike stores
	that I've looked in.  And now the zipper is broken on my old pair.

	Has anyone seen them available in Eastern Mass?

    I think I saw them at O'Neils in Shrewsbury.  Call and find out
    if the door's have closed for good yet.

    I've got the latest performance catalog in front of me (Fall 88). I see
    these types of shorts on pages 12, 14, 15, 17, and 21.

    I picked up some touring shorts at the Boston Area Nashbar.  At
    the time, this past spring, they had a good selection of colors
    and sizes.  They also have dressing rooms so you can try them on.
    
    I can't recommend Performance, as I tried ordering some touring
    shorts from them this summer.  First, I had to select another color
    because my first choice was not in stock.  Then I waited over month
    for them, at which point they told me they were on back-order; keep
    in mind these were supposed to be in stock.  Then after I waited
    another month, I cancelled the order.  Needless to say, I'll never
    order anything from performance again!

With Nashbar catalog number 57 in front of me, I find touring shorts on
page 20.  If you still haven't found them, I can check the current
catalog (58).

Re: .6

I went home and checked the current Nashbar catalog (number 58).  
Touring shorts are on page 6 - here's the description:

	NASHBAR Touring Shorts, constructed of longwearing, comfortable
	BAJA(tm) fabric (80% Dacron polyester/20%cotton).  These easy 
	care touring shorts are perfect for riding around town, on long
	country rides or simply wearing around for the "bush pant" look.
	They feature an elastic waist with drawstring adjustment,
	VELCRO(R) closures, and a crotch liner of 100% Polar(tm) fleece
	to wick away moisture.  Their high quality construction
	surpasses any other touring shorts in this price range.
	Specify size: S, M, L, or XL.
	BN-NTS-(size) (marked-in price) $15.75
