Black Speedo

Hello.

I saw a photo of a black Speedo with yellow lettering "SPEEDO" on the bum. Anyone know where I can find a pair? I MUST have a pair if possible. Also looking for a white Speedo.

Any help would be superb.

Cheers...

These seem mostly to be from Australia and New Zealand...

Didn't know if they were exclusively sold here, but - yeah. You can get them at most Amart All Sports, last time I was aware of it.



Are you a definite size? I wouldn't mind mailing you a pair - you could pay me back through paypal.
Unless...
**evil grin**
I mailed you them, and then, as payment, you mailed me pics, [hi rez preferred :twisted: ]
of you with them on.
Oh, my... I can't believe *I*, [Mr. No-confidence] just said that...

XD
Maybe the tide's finally turning...

LOL... If you could send me a pair that would be GREAT. I am US size 36. I wish I was smaller, but playing football made me a bit big.

I don't think a size 36 is too bad though. :oops:

I can pay you via PayPal. Oh, and I would be glad to send some pics also... :wink:

Jace: It really was weirdly... 'Spur of the Moment'... I swear, on a percentage - my mind's seldom automatically 'in the gutter', when dealing with normal topics. Say, 30%-40%.

And I wouldn't know. ^^;; I've never exactly pulled that stunt before... [Is what you're hinting that: I should try?]


MCOSpeedo:
1. XD You don't have to get pics, unless you want to... That was rather a joke.:oops:
Ok. I've got to leave early for work anyway,
so, I'll go a bit earlier still, and check out the shop near the shopping centre. If they've
got any I'll check for a 36. [Might have to ask, due to the size]
If not - I'll check the other stores I know. I'll try my best. I'm sure they'd still carry them, they seem a popular choice. [For which I'm very thankful...8)

2. :shock: Maybe I do have... Potential? XD
I amaze myself sometimes.
**song comes to mind**
"Maybe if I act like that - that guy would call me back."

And, I'm SO far from 'well off', right now, that I couldn't afford that many.
Mind you...
>.>
They had some Wavezone, [good brand, I personally use them], for really cheap recently...
Unless you're a 'Brand whore' in which case, cough up the cash, and I wouldn't have a prob finding stuff. XD

[What did I get myself into Lawls]

PS: On second thought...8)
Will you be donating images too? **stares pointedly at Jace** :twisted:

Thank you very much Gio. A 34 might work as well... It would be a bit snug, but you know that can be a good thing... :wink:

Jace: You're such a tease... Bastard. XD
It depends on what you want. Is there any brand in particular you like/want? I saw LOTS of TYR, and some Speedo. [disappointing -_-, even though TYR is quite hot as well]

MCOSpeedo:

Ok. I can't get this down after one try, but I was severly disappointed at AAS. They had some Speedo, [LOTS of TYR, as I said above] none black with yellow writting across back. There were:
Black + White writing
Navy + Yellow writing [but all I could see were 40", I thought those rather too big for you]
Grey-blue + yellow-ish writing.

I might've been able to get some rough photos on my phone, but I was running late for work, so I didn't.
Tomorrow, I'm going to see if the Wavezone are still on special, and maybe get Jace a pair.
[Btw, Jace, do you prefer black or navy?... Or both 8)] and head down to the other set of stores I know. There's at least four I can hit. If I don't find the ones you wanted, I'll let you know.
Man... I need company... I generally hate clothes shopping. Need someone to amuse me.
XD
Jace. You get your ass down 'ere and help!

Important:
Regarding the *both* of you, actually...
When you guys give me sizes like '28/30 and 34/36, are those numbers in inches?? Because the ones I saw today in AAS had measurements for what I could deduce was: Italy, Uk, 'D' [whatever that is], and Aus. The Aus showed as something and then, [for eg.] 34".
I'm trying to figure out if I'm looking at the right things.

Gio...

Yes, that would be in inches. If I am correct (and someone PLEASE feel free to correct me if I am wrong) a US size 34 is an AUS 18. A US size 36 is an AUS 20.

You said they had TYR? They didn't have any in a shiny silver/grey did they? I want to say thanks for taking your time to do this for me. If you ever make it to Orlando, I can get you some free Disney World tickets.

I bought some black Puma's at Amart All Sports this week.

When I was there, they had a HUGE amount of Speedos, couldn't find any TYR, then they had a few other brands like Puma and some others I couldn't remember.

Everything except Speedo brand was 40% off too.

MCOSpeedo:
No probs. Considering my complete absence of 'movies company', [friends all busy], and I have a long weekend to kill, this gives me something to amuse myself with.
The ones I saw had 'size' numbers, and then the inches. I could just go by the inches, ne?
As before, I'm writting this down, so I can look through with more precision.
Silver Grey. They had some grey Speedos with yellow writting at the back, if I'm not mistaken. {and also blue}

Jace:
Mmk. Scratch the Wavezone. I'm positive that's all there was, cos mum got me one of each. [Hehe... Mum buying me budgie-smugglers. LAWLS]
So you'd want something like... Red, Royal Blue, White. {the kind of colour that shows more?}
I'll look around, and this time, try to either take photos with my phone, [provided the shop assistants don't mind] or I'll write down exactly what I see.
Red is the 'typical' Surf Life-saver colour.[and SO hot... XD]

Canberra Speedo:
Hey, dude.
You didn't by any chance see the elusive Black+Yellow Loggo at back, for MCOSpeedo, did you?

Sorry I hadn't actually read this thread before I bought them.

My friend works there and I pop in to visit occasionally. I'll take a look on Monday!

Edit: Just found this http://www.zodee.com.au/mens/speedo/end ... ef/13-685/

It appears to be what MCOSpeedo is looking for (they have black).

Thanks again Gio...


CanberraSpeedo: WOW. That looks like them. I wish I could see a back view of the black one. I wonder if the writing is yellow. It sure is yellow writing on the blue.

CanberraSpeedo:
Good going, finding them.
I didn't think to look online. >.<;;

MCOSpeedo:
So will you be getting those, or should I continue looking today?
I don't want to buy a pair and have you buy another.
I'm going to the city today, thought I'd pop into some of the shops.
I won't buy anything in case. I can pop back in tomorrow, after you reply, if I must. [Was going back anyway, for meet.]

PLEASE pick up a Speedo for me if you go out. 8)

I'll share my speedo with you anytime. :wink:

Lol.

Okay. ^_^
Wait... Is this supposed to hint that: I may pick'n'choose what I want?? :D8)
**child-like hopeful-face**

Well, I will. But I fear tomorrow, everything will be closed.[Pub. Hol]

I'm on a mission for myself too, now, and I'll be hitting the shops way before work on Tuesday, so - I've planned to go straight to biz, buy what I want, and hit Rebel Sport.

PS: Oh. One last question...
**gets past 'shyness'**
What's your complexion?
eg.Are you a tanned-beast, or a 'marble god'?

Gio...

I like to think I am a tanned beast. :wink: But in truth I really need to work on the ole tan at the moment. It is not quite where I like it to be.

Haven't had enough time to work on it as of late.

You didn't answer the question...

May I pick and choose... [Naturally something I'd like to see worn. **gleeful smile**]
