Shorts for the long limbed
Hi,
I'm a 14 year old male cyclist of 5' 6.5" height. However, I have an imseam of 34" giving a 50.3% inseam. I like to think of it as "athletic" proportions but it means finding good clothing is nigh on impossible. Most shorts are like hotpants! Does anyone else have this problem and if so, which shorts/ company do you normally use.
Thanks in advance.

Try Galibier's energize shorts. Stunning chamois but long in the leg for me and I'm quite tall. Lots of pros are riding super long shorts now and I think this has trickled down. Just don't go to nalaini , you will look like Kylie ... But then your too young to remember her!
Wiggle's latest Aeron efforts are pretty long, I look like a school child in mines with my 29" inside leg!
Castelli tends to be long in the leg buy short-ish in the body. Worth a look?
I think Rapha offer a 'longer' leg option on some of their shorts for people like you.
I've got some Santini Edge shorts from Prendas.
The legs (in size large) are long enough for me at 6'4" with a 35 inch inside leg.
