    Ladies bike pants - help, where do I get some long enough?

    Hi, I'm currently on the hunt for some bike pants. The problem is I'm quite tall and most I've had a look for only have lengths that may be suitable in large sizes.
    So, does anyone some of some long length ladies pants available? Oh, and I'm a student so it can't be too expensive haha.
    OR, if anyone has any they want to sell, pleeease let me know

    You're in Auckland - go and see Kerrie at MSW:

    She can custom-make you a pair of pants at a reasonable price. The fit and style will be perfect for you - no compromise.

    What he said. You can often sneak a park out the back too, check Google Maps before you go.

    Looks like the cheapest they make them for is $550 and I don't have that kind of money for pants at the moment.
    I'm getting my first bike on Tuesday, so I really need to see if I like riding first (I'm sure I will).
    I was hoping to get some pants for $200 or less.

    I should also say that I'm a size 10 or small 12 and I need around a 32/33" inside leg length.
    It's annoying cause I'm not thaaat tall but quite a bit taller than the average girl.

    If you are after budget leather pants, check out CNELL:
    http://www.trademe.co.nz/stores/cnel...s-gear/contact

    There leather pants are sold with the leg length un-trimmed. So you buy the size your interested in, and then cut the end of the leather legs down to the size you want. Should be perfect for you.

    Being pants I suggest you visit them to try them on for size. Note that they are mostly a warehouse business - so there is no "flash" retail bit.

    Hi, I have some size 38 (small men's, maybe) laced down the side seams, and they measure 33" inside leg. They would be a 14 a 16 woman's size and possibly too big for you. A belt might help?!! You are welcome to come up to Gulf Hbr and try them on. I need stretch! too old, too fat. Would like about $200, cheers.

    Thanks, but I think they'll be too big. I'll let you know if I can't find any though.

    Geez the curse of bein a chick with long legs. Poor you. Kidding.
    Most girls on bikes are moaning the cant reach the ground on there bikes.

    Anyway i think ixon do some nice looking pants for chicks with adjustable leg lengths so you would think they must be long to start with.
    Check out Ixon angelic.

    Haha, yes i don't think I'll have an issue with that
    Thank you so much for the advice! I just bought myself some and the length is perfect.
    It's such a good idea having snap buttons to adjust the length!
    It was a little difficult finding the right size, which must mean they are end of line. So I got in just in time

    You can adjust the legs but they never fit perfectly. I have short legs and I found the knee armour was too low for me, so I guess it works the other way for tall people. Most pants have a 32 inside leg and it is about 2 inches too long for me when standing but perfect when on the bike.
