Rukka unit armoured cordura trousers.

Some say , The best biking trousers you can buy.

Bought recently, too big for me. 38-40 waist. Quite long in the legs.
Will swap for a similar pair of Rukka's 36-38 waist, or sell for what I paid for them. £150 delivered to uk mainland address.

Almost 300 quid for a new pair of these ... and these are almost new.

Will supply a photo if you want.

Would you believe it, I'd reckon that they are the exact dimensions to fit a 6 footer with shorter than average ( for a 6ft'r) legs.
I'm 5'10" with exquisitely proportioned (for a 5'10"er) legs, and they are a tad long for me.
Its better to have bike trousers slightly longer than you would normally take in, say, a tuxedo trouser, but thats just my opinion what-ho.

Tell you what I'll do. I will measure the legs, both in inches and centimetres ... maybe even millimeters, and let you all know.

Wait a minute ........

Right, here we go. From middle of crutch (oo er misses) to bottom of leg 2'9", or 83cm, or 830mm.
Both legs are the same length.
