James,
The Shimano shorts you mention sound like some Nikes I bought many years ago but have completely
worn out. They were a stretch twill with an ultra-suede-like lining in the crotch (no padding). Also
had side = pockets and one back pocket and a plastic zippered fly. Nashbar had something similar but
with a terry cloth crotch and side pockets only.
If anyone knows of a source for these kinds of shorts, I'd appreciate knowing about it. TIA
