who the hell is stoic? =)
i can't find anything on the net about their products besides BC and explore64.
The pants looks great though, how do you think they will do for alpine road biking?
They look similar-ly made, to the cutter knickers. from the stitching,zips,buttons pockets and material. Which would be great because those knickers are some of the best there are.
