Hello,

My only pair is a £10 Karrimor pair from Sports Direct and I'm sure I can do better. Dont want to break the bank though.

Any tips?

Thanks

Tom

    Spegg from cycle-clothing.co.uk. Bibshorts for £28, lycra shorts for £15.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Shuttrv are regarded by many as the best shorts for £30. Think the price is going up soon so be quick.

    I bought a replica set of bib shorts and top from ebay, via china for £30 delivered and the quality is easily as good as the lower end of branded stuff.

    We've had a few testimonials of people quoting that we could charge £50 for these. But that ain't going to happen. :P

    aldi will have some in stock by spring. the quality is better than karrimor and probabily about the same price, definitely no dearer.

    Alternatively edinburgh bike co-op own brand clothing is reasonable quality and priced ok.

    Shutt VR. If you can stretch to it go for the Pro. Love mine.
