This is on a Brooks saddle so it's as optimized as can be.
I wear Levi's over liner-style Nashbar bike shorts sometimes for 3-mile-to-the-train-station rides. But these are $30 or less Target Levi's. I don't see the point of paying more than that for a pair of jeans.
I think these Levi's are just marketed for hipsters really.
