Josh: 

Just went back looking for the Spandex comments (I had only looked at the pictures and your commentary before) and found that that the poster used the name Jim.

I just wanted to say that the Spandex critic wasn't me.  I wear bike shorts all the time, no matter which bike, no one is admiring the way I look, and I don't care.  I'll usually have a pair of regular shorts in the car in case I make a stop driving to and from a ride, but people can look at me weird all they want.  Even bike shorts with a chamois liner don't hold a candle to an average pair of road bike shorts.  I think the Performance Bike Elite shorts work amazingly well for less than $60.

And I also find that looser fitting shorts get hung up more on the nose of the saddle or even on the back of the saddle and also allow you to slide around more.

In fact, early in ski season I will sometimes wear a pair of compression shorts I have (no chamois) just because it seems to keep the blood flowing in my legs.
