Im having real problems getting some decent bike trousers tha fit.
Cos I have long legs they all come up short and the knee pads are putting too much pressure on my knees when on the bike.
Does anyone know of where I can get some long trousers?
Im open to new or used, leather, textile or kevlar lined jeans. Anything as long as they fit. Anyone got anything for sale?
Im 34 waist and Ill take the longest legs I can find.
Cheers.
Frank Thomas Rapture pants… 
Gortex pants for about £120 covered in pockets like action man - Only problem is there a bit toasty in the summer. But awsome in the colder months, and lets be honest we have more of them than warm ones. There very waterproof aswell
custom fit wolf leathers from harpers motorcycles in forest gate or leigh on sea
very good quality £160 check their website
I’ve just bought a pair of Draggin jeans and the knees protectors are movable so you can custom fit them.
My Frank Thomas pants are ok, but it depends on what bike I’m on and if I’ve got the thermal part in or not. If the thermal part is in they fit really well, when it’s not I sometimes have to readjust them on a long journey.
Thanks for the link - Im always having trouble trying to find the right stuff!
Thanks a lot for the tips, all.
Ive ordered a pair of longer Draggin Jeans and I’ll also look into those Wolf custom leathers…
Now what bills shall I not pay this month…?
Phew, that’s a relief, spider’s legs meant something very different in our house!
(Think hair poking out of the sides of a pair of knickers…)
Ok, I went to Harpers ths saturday and got the most absurd look from Ray (guy who works there) when I mentioned £160 leathers. He said the cheapest were about 200 and that wasnt custom fit.
I bought a pair of Wolf leather bottoms, which will be custom made and it cost me 275 (350 reduced to 250, plus xtra for custom fit). He did say there were another pair which were a little bit cheaper, but I think they came to around 240.
Just to let you guys know. I wasnt too bothered, as I have had difficulty in finding the right pair. But the service was good and informative, and to the point.
Cheers Ray.
ps alteration (hip to knee extension, silver piping made white, removal of logo and calf widening) I was also offered the opportunity of adjusting my jacket to zip onto the trousers for free, which I take up at a latter date. Trousers come up qute high at the back, so I might not want the zip bit.
