Want the performance of form-fitting spandex on the bike, but the looks and functionality of baggies off the bike? Well, Elevenpine's Crankitup shorts have been created for just that purpose.
As Elevenpine's founder Jeff Curran puts it, "these shorts are for 75% of riders. They're not for people doing intervals on trainers in the winter. They're for the regular, common cyclist."

It's kind of ironic that Elevenpine comes from Boulder, CO, where you could walk into an auto parts store in a full Mapei kit and no one would really give you a second glance. That said, not every place is like Boulder, where cycling (and the associated look) is an everyday occurrence. The crew at Elevenpine acknowledge this and are working hard towards building functional cycling shorts that won't make you the butt of jokes when off the bike.

11P System
Elevenpine's patent-pending system boils down to two-in-one shorts, form-fitting spandex and baggies all in one. There are zippers on the outer thighs and Velcro tabs at the hem, so when you're on the bike you can zip them closed to create a form-fitting, non-baggy look and feel. When it's time to hop off the bike and join the non-riding world, simply unzip and the Crankitup shorts appear just like any normal baggy short or street clothes.
How do they perform?
