$70 for a pair of nylon shorts! I know they are great and own several pair of the previous gen but I'm experiencing a bit of sticker shock. I'd love to see a cost break down of materials, labor, design, shipping, etc. I know they are worth the money- please don't think I'm saying otherwise.

Re: [RBW] Re: MUSA pre-order

I have to laugh at the contrasting crotch furor. Tell y'all what: wear khaki cutoffs in hot, sweaty weather on a black saddle. You'll have a contrasting crotch. I always took it as a "badge of honor." Still, I'd not pay *money* for a startlingly contrasting crotch gusset. On Sat, Feb 18, 2017 at

Re: [RBW] Re: MUSA pre-order

My preference is for the same colors in tan/tan, grey/grey, blue/blue, or even black/black. But, I caved and ordered two pair of these grey/blue because I have no other MUSA shorts and there is risk a consistent and/or preferred color may not be available in the future. Besides, the grey/blue

I am going to retake my take on the color thing, since "normal" means something different to everyone. I wear my preferred style of pants rolled up below the knee all the time year around. I just happen to ride a bike sometimes too. Since I find 99% of pants, knickers and shorts to be unfit

[RBW] Re: MUSA pre-order

Since the tide seems to be moving towards "no contrasting gusset", I'll put in the contrary vote and say I DO actually like the contrasting color schemes. I have grey/blue and butterscotch/olive. I can see why some don't like it, and I hope that Riv offers some "solid" color schemes. But I do

[RBW] Re: MUSA pre-order

The color thing I too always found to be completely contrary to the whole of idea of wearing "normal" clothes, since of course I have never seen what anyone would consider everyday clothing with such contrasting crotch gussets and other patches. Same with the huge velcro and reflective bands

I'll bet they've never heard this contrastive crotch color conundrum before. Someone on the design team thought it was a good idea and it went forward. With this feedback I bet the next batch won't have that! And let's hope there is a next batch. The only "problem" with the MUSA shorts I have

I agree. I mentioned on another thread I don't use my butterscotch/olive green MUSA pants very often because of this. And every time I went for the black/black they were sold out. For a company that stresses riding in "regular" clothes, this detail is indeed inexplicable. We can get the
