Gore and Craft are decent value though.
These are quite cheap. Has anyone got a pair? Any good?

BTW roubaix tights are the DB but not yet, plenty of good weather still to be had in this country. Not neccessarily in another country, like Scotland for example
Stone Glider, I would take offence if you weren't bloody right about Scotland. Expecting over 2 inches of rain and 70mph winds in next 24 hours!
Not really cycling weather.....Dusted off my Light and Motion Seca 400 the other night....I'd forgotten how bright it was..Drivers don't seem to like seeing my flashing light 200yards down the road!17 Stone down to 12.5 now raring to get back on the bike!0 -

Believe me, going for bibs/ shorts, or any cycling clothing for that matter, in that price, is not going to be worth it. Either crap materials, fit is all off, or the padding is made off wood or something.
better to invest in a decent pair once than 50 cheap ones.0 -

Not those ones, but I have these:

...and they are very good.
Also, have some of these on the way:

Which I expect will be good too.0 -
@Fuzzynavel No offence meant, sometimes the extent of the difference in the Scottish climate is overlooked. It's not like Wales, which I tend to think of as a wet (and miserable) version of England The older I get the faster I was0

Thanks for the links and review. My shorts are a pair of Ronhills which I bought from TKMax, proof that you don't have to spend a lot of money I think.0 -

I'd tend to agree there - I'd be wary of bib shorts under £40 but you might get lucky.
On the subject of bargains, there are these:

but only Small left unfortunately.
These are the Craft ones I got and they're superb quality, IMO, for £45 ...
