[Closed] PSA Scott mind shorts £30

purple .....

Purple is very Enduro 🙂

Cheers, bought the Scott Mind and Roarban unpadded shorts - at that price they are worth a look.

Any idea how these size up. im a 33" waist. i bought altura's and the sizing is all over the place..

You want medium

Purple IS enduro - here's me wearing a £15 pair in an actual Enduro race! Bang on trend me.

Great shorts, tempted to get another pair but how many pairs of purple shorts does a man need?

Bang on trend me.

Where're your goggles and matching purple (lurid green also allowed) helmet then?

Goggles were in the car, I'm not fast enough for that look. Do I at least get bonus points for a Troy Lee lid and clashing orange gloves?

Come to think of it I've got a bright green top and I'm doing the QECP July enduro. Purple shorts, green top and orange gloves must be an enduro winner?

Cheers for that just bought myself a pair, love a good pair of purple shorts!

Personally I'd be looking for a bit more co-ordination, otherwise you just risk looking like a 1990s raver.

FYI TRIATHLETE10 has been taking 10% off at Start for months, seems to be a permanent code (I got it to stack with another code but from my PSA thread was the only one!).

Ive bought 3 pairs of their D30 Superstitious gloves (1 for me, 1 for me as spares, 1 for partner) and at least 2 clubmates are ordering them after seeing mine. Pittards leather palm, D30 knuckle armour, mesh finger sides for ventilation etc etc for at most £15.

Scott kit in general is really good quality, and Start are charging Aldi money for their stuff.

Received my purple shorts today - look alright and quality seems great, top psa thanks!

Best shorts ever. I have them in bright blue, acid yellow and purple... Make me loads faster 😉

Ordered yesterday, shorts arrived today, fit great and bang on for £30, thanks for the PSA and the extra 10% which covered most of the postage cost.

Cheers OP. Mine arrived today as above ^^. Not as bright as they look on website, which is a good thing IMO.

thanks for the PSA, just ordered a pair. they'll go nicely with the set of lurid Scott Superstitious gloves I got from Start Cycles, from another PSA thread, a few months ago.

Ordered.

clever pricing really, £29.99 and it's £30 for free postage, so I found some scott xc gloves, and some summer roadie mitts too, so they've had ~£45 out of me.

Ta...

Nice one. Shorts and some gloves for £31 (Inc the TRIATHLETE10 code).

Bums.
Mine arrived and are a good fit etc. except the stitching in a seem in the undershorts has been missed so there's a big hole. Hopefully they haven't run out by the time I get a return sorted. Look good quality otherwise!

Was it a medium? In which case I'll apologise for reducing remaining stock by one with my planned membership of the purple leg gang.

Mine arrived; Medium: I'm a 33 inch waist and they fit perfectly. The inner shorts seem a lightweight, but again are a nice fit. Shorts have sophisticated waist band adjusters and two diagonal zipped pockets on the thighs. They are a nice fit, lightweight and stretchy. Definitely a summer short. A great buy ay at £31 (I also used TRIATHLETE10 code).

Mine arrived this morning. I'm usually a 32 waist. Went for a medium. Waist adjusters all the way in they fit fine. Any thinner and I'd say you'd need a small.

Seem to be a great pair of shorts. Not as heavy duty feeling as my old sombrio epiks.

Do the liners come out?

no sign of mine so far, come on Mr Postmen, pull your fingers out!

these glasses that someone is selling on the stw classified would go nicely with those shorts :

Anyone who had the old ones too... Is the fabric any different? I notice the new ones say they are water resistant which my old ones definitely aren't.

34" Med or Lrg?

Cheers

That's my dining room table 🙂

Sorry, as you were

BONUS10 another code for this weekend, probably wont stack with TRIATHLETE10 but just in case that one expires (though its been running since about October...)

34" Med or Lrg?
Cheers

I reckon Medium: I'm 33" and I have to have the waistband tightened all the way in.

Will medium be too big for a 32" waist?

Ace purple shorts, lime green top and white bike I'll be a demon in the Alps in 2 weeks!

What's the length like on these? I'm a bit of a lanky git so I prefer shorts that drop past the knee.

Mine arrived - look great

I emailed them to say I didn't want express delivery and got them all in for £25 🙂

Just tried my mediums on again. I normally wear 32" waist loose fit jeans and wouldn't want these shorts any smaller. If I was a 34 I'd go large.
5'10" and they're just below my knees, so not especially long.

I take a 34 waist and went for large, fit is good, hadn't even found the waist adjusters (assumed they were pockets) and I'll pull them in a little, size guide said L is 33-35 IIRC. Liner is good quality, well vented and packaged separately from the main shorts.

Thank you OP, gone for Large and added a water bottle to the order to bring it down to £28.75 delivered 🙂

34 and large here

I got the turquoise ones and they are pretty ace, got stained up quick though!

the liners not bad, also comes in its own handy ittle bage that I use for storing essential tools to take away for races

Did you get dispatch notifications? Ordered some on Wednesday but no sign so far.. not express delivery mind.

Did you get dispatch notifications? Ordered some on Wednesday but no sign so far.. not express delivery mind.

No dispatch or order confirmation but I can confirm they did arrive

Ordered some for a fathers day pressie for Kevin last Wednesday, along with some more stuff for me and Abigale. Paid by PayPal and had confirmation from PayPal for it. I had nothing from Start Cycles by Friday so I rang them. They had cancelled the order for non payment. After realising their mistake I've had confirmation of delivery tomorrow. If you havent heard from them I would ring them as the guy said its a manual check they do on payments and errors do occur.

Shorts and gloves arrived today.. bargain!

Mine arrived today and whilst I haven't tested them on the bike yet I'm very impressed so far. I'd say they're a fairly long short (fit to just below the knee) and waist size they Medium is about the same as an Altura Mayhem medium. The liner is very thin (more like a boxer compared to many others that I've had) but the pad feels quite good. And I love the colour!

I actually bought medium & large in case of sizing issues, but there was no need to open the large. I'll be posting them back for returns later in the week, but if anyone who can collect or meet in London wants them you can have them for £27.

Mine have arrived - ditto allyharp's comments above.

My stuff came yesterday along with an apology letter for their error icn canceling my order

Got mine today
Very very impressed , now just gotta MTFU
And wear em

Thanks, OP!
Wore mine today - perfect. The liner is bl**dy comfy - if anyone is wavering on buying a medium pair and doesn't want the liner, I'd happily buy it from them.

They'd inadvertently cancelled my order too, quick phone call and sorted 🙂

Wearing mine as we speak. Really like them and I look spectacular in them. Good length and good fit. Brilliant waist tightener thing.

The liner looks nice quality, but white? Never been a fan of white pants like...

I ordered another pair mind 🙂

Thanks op .

Mine turned up yesterday and straight out for a ride. Can't imagine a single scenario where I'd ever allow myself outside with the inners only 😉 Otherwise a great lightweight short, not as purple as the pics and perfect for warm days.

I'm a 33in waist, bought the M and they are spot on with the zips done up. Also bought some D30 gloves to get over the £30 and they seem very good as well.

I bought the L as per Scott's own recommendations. I'm a 33-34" waist and these are definitely on the larger side of what I need - I would probably be better off with a medium. I haven't yet decided if I'll send them back.

Quality seems great, the look and feel is really good. They're also pretty lightweight for the size which is great. Cut seems good around the crotch but the legs are really long - They look like board shorts. Definitely more for the Enduro crowd than the XC race boys. Great value for £30, thanks OP.

I ordered some shorts, I've paid for them but the order has been cancelled and no refund given??

Edit, seems it was refunded on the same day I paid (7th June) but never got an email or explanation as to why it was cancelled.

Great shorts, already fallen off in the mud with them.

Bugger!

Contacted them after there was no activity on the order, they've sent me my gloves but the Medium sized, Mind Shorts are now out of stock now, so that part of the order has been cancelled and will be refunded apparently...

Seems the issue was due to me paying via paypal and it not talking well with their system, but if I'd not chased it they'd not have known...

How do the scott "Roarban" shorts compare to the "Mind"?

[url= http://startcycles.co.uk/scott-roarban-loose-fit-cycling-shorts.html ]£20 but I'm not sure I like the Cargo pockets TBH... [/url]

Checked again and my order was canceled but not refunded. Emailed Start they have now refunded me, but the medium shorts I ordered are now out of stock.
Was apparently an error between Paypal and their system.

I must have been lucky and found out the problem fairly quick as all my order came. The guy I spoke to made out that it was a human error that cancelled my order due to them manually checking Paypal payments and if they couldn't locate them to cross reference then they just cancelled the order and no refund or reinstatement until it was queried. Not a happy outcome for some but they were awash with orders for the cheap Scott stuff. It was cheaper to buy the women's shorts with the liners than to buy the liners on there own.

Well I've Ordered the Roarban Shorts in Med' and as they were a tenner less than the Mind I've ordered a nice lime green Path SS jersey to go with it....

That's Right I shall be rocking the Standard Purple shorts, Lime green jersey Enduro Uniform, but I still think I'd have prefered the Mind shorts...

Enduro shorts on sale in a multitude of enduro colors !

thank you very much, been after a pair of green shorts for a while and these fit the bill perfectly! 😀

Bugger; only available in any colours as large or x-large.

Two pairs ordered with a jersey for the full enduro look, thanks

Gah, no blue large left. If anyone has a pair that don't fit or something I'll have them!

obviously youve all been using the BONUS15 code that takes 15% off until midnight tonight?

The shorts are great, jersey like Cookeaa's above is also good. Velcro closure tab on the d30 gloves came apart on the first ride.
