The stoker on our tandem has taken a liking to the ibex knickers. Wool, warm, movable and good looking. Depending on your height/size they might work for you. The stoker/SO is 5'8" and wears between a 27->32 depending on the cut of things but she found the 30" ibex knickers comfortable. Add to that a nice set of tall socks and she looks great. -sv -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
