Is £42.74 the lowest price the Endura shopping police will currently allow for Humvee baggy shorts inc liner?

After nearly (not quite) falling off my bike while wearing full length endura humvee trousers I thought it time to get shorts. Trousers snaged on chain and had to quickly back pedal even though velcro fastend to tightest.....

Silly question but how far is 3/4's if i.e 5 ft 10??? snag chain possible? Tried shorts on and they were past my knees but no 3/4's in stock.

    I refuse to get 3/4s. I'm 5'10" but long backed and short legged. 3/4s look like very sh1t trousers on me.

    And yes. £2 seems to be the max discount. Evans has Altura Summits for £34.99

    I have Endura Singletracks in both 3/4 and normal shorts.

    I'm 6' and the 3/4 are around 2" below my knee when stood up.

    The Singletracks are more expensive then the Humvees and I paid less than £42.74 for mine, but I do have photos of my LBS manager in drag :lol:

    Price fixing is highly illegal in this country so I doubt Endura would risk a fine of 10% of their TO. I bought Hummvees for £31.50 delivered last December from AW Cycles.

    As above. My lbs were willing to sell me a pair of Humvees without the sh*te liner for £22.

    I got a pair of Humvee shorts (not 3/4) and liner for £32.99 from a bike shop in Manchester - yet again I visited Evans and tried various sizes and styles on BUT they couldn't price match as the price was not on rivals website and when Evans called they denied they had any. Meant I had to go in and purchase them when passing 30 mins later.

    Now looking for a 3/4 length pair of Humvees with liner but have to wait until I see them around £35 - not prepared to pay rip off £45+.

    p.s. AW Cycles currently has a 25% sale on clothing BUT it specifically states not on Endura clothing.
