    Yeah, the Shutts are awesome, even though they're a little above your price. Worth it though.

    You might be able to get a pair of giordana Tenax a bit cheaper.

    I recommend Shutt. Best I've tried.

    Having worn Gore Bibs for last few years i would vouch for them, but i was recently recommended to try Santini by a club racer, cannot fault them, excellent!

    I've got some Santini TOP within your budget from CRC and are excellent. The GITCX ones are equally as good.

    Giordana tenax, or the santini get insert.
    Look for any version that has these pads, and is at your £ range

    nothing else beats them at this price point.

    nothing

    Lusso Pro Gel, £48 from chain reaction at the mo. I got a pair the other day- very good so far!

    Giodana tenax. Cheap as chips from Ribble.

    I've just had a mass "finding the best bib shorts" period in my life and here's my findings:

    1. Giordana Tenax - well made, good pad and decent fit
    2. DHB Finchdean - Well made, pad seemed a bit big, grippers round the leg were like boxer shorts elastic
    3. Altura ergo fit comp - Reasonably well made, felt a bit flimsy
    4. Gore power - Nice looking shorts, just not very well made, pad is crap

    The ironic thing is, the Giordana's are the cheapest shorts here. With the funny Italian sizing, I had to order XL when normally I'm an L.

    Shutt are advertising SVR bibshorts at 29 quid on their website :D
    At that price they must be worth a try...

    This is weird - if you'd asked this at any other time you'd have had a chorus of 'ASSOS'.

    Is there some Assos convention on at the moment that they've all gone to ?

    I may check out the Shutt shorts now.

    +1 for shuttvr standards at £29 quid... I have assos too but will buy more shuttvrs next time rather than more assos....
