Motti cycling shorts, likely made in the 1970s/1980s given the style. An excellent choice for wearing on your vintage bike (or any occasion you fancy of course), and also a responsible alternative to buying brand new cycling kit!

The shorts have been thoroughly checked over and graded as excellent condition. If there are any issues worth noting we’ll do so in the overview section below, but please take a good look at the photos so you can see the condition yourself before you buy.

Across Waist (Relaxed) - this measurement is taken across the waist with the shorts laid flat, without stretching the elastic. To work out the waist circumference this measurement needs to be doubled.

Across Waist (Full Stretch) - the same as the previous measurement but with the elastic at full stretch.

Full Length (Outside Leg) - measured from the top to the bottom, along the outside of the leg.

Inside Leg - measured from the centre of the crotch to the bottom of the hem, along the inside of the leg.

Across Hem (Relaxed) - taken across the bottom of one hem whilst laid flat, without stretching the elastic. To work out the hem circumference this measurement needs to be doubled.

Across Hem (Full Stretch) - the same as the relaxed hem measurement but with the elastic at full stretch.
