Where can I find decent but cheap (I'm talking £10 - £20) full length lycra tights and 3/4 length lycra shorts without padding?
I'm thinking that I wear the above underneath my standard cycle shorts which has padding and therefore don't need to have padding (save money).

The padding should be by the skin, wear the tights over your standard shorts. The pad is designed to move with your skin and absord/wick moisture away from the skin so sticking them over something isn't benificialSC61.10a: FCN 3, with clip-on guards for winter
Uncle John: FCN ?? knobblies, or 'fat' slicks n guards
If you haven't tried these things, you should.

+1 also then you only need to wash your tights every few outings (unless you get grubby) saving even more moolah 8)Saracen Tenet 3 - 2015 - Dead - Replaced with a Hack Frame

Also if the day heats up you can take the tights off, leaving the shorts, without exposing yourself to passers by.0

Sorry to resurrect an old thread. I had been thinking the same as DDD but accept reasoning for pad against the skin.
But what will Mr Armstrong be wearing here?

ive got similar shorts (Astana) so guessing the pad is on the team shorts but obviously isnt against the skin

Yep, see that now, thanks. Not sure the wife would approve. Have to creep out the house as it is so she doesn't see me.0
