It may come as a surprise to plenty of you, but I tend to have a thing for yellow bikes, and yellow kit in general.
Back in the day (2007 ish) when I started out with road cycling, I was very tempted to ordering some of the Assos yellow bib shorts, but never got around to it, and in the end it came to light that the only Assos shorts I ever tried, were not suited to me.
Earlier this year I noticed Gobik (Who I have never bought any kit from) had these shorts below for sale:
They were 125 euros, but seemed to be very scarce in a small size.
Then they seemed to out of stock everywhere and I thought I had missed the boat.
On the Gobik website I set up a stock alert anyhow, but didn't hold out much hope.
A couple of weeks ago a mail pinged through to say they had stock, I clicked in some 15 minutes later, but it had already gone!
Then Friday as I came off the turbo it happened again - this time I had already configured an account with my payment address, and my parents Spanish address (So I can avoid the import costs plus lovely admin fees) and managed to place the order - wasn't still 100% it was going to work, as I had e-mailed them in the meantime, and they had replied to say it was a limited run and they weren't making anymore!
It was delivered yesterday to my parents, so I'll get to see them and try them next month when I visit.
The other bonus is they were on offer for 85 euros, and as I have a cc that has no penalty for paying in a foreign currency, I did actually pay in Euros, which is only £75 - plus it was free postage to Spain.
For the price I'm not expecting it to be an all day short, but as a little novelty and for shorter rides I think it will be a little bit of fun.
My club mates know I love yellow, so this will make them chuckle. I'd likely pair these with yellow shoes, black socks, black jersey and mitts, yellow glasses, and black helmet
Going all yellow would also be a potential.
