    Definitely a bit pro wannabe. But it is quite nice, tasteful kit.

    Who's going to be the BR guinea pig? TBH I need some knee-warmers but can't remember the size I bought, tempted for £15 with these though.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    The Non team elite bibs look like a bit of a bargain seeing that they come with a decent Elastic Interface Chamois. Again though we need someone to be a guinea pig for them.

    I agree, it's the Elite bibs that appear to be the real star in the bunch, it's a pity there's not some nice, logoless jerseys to go with it.

    There are some jerseys with a small logo, rather than the team ones. Look pretty discreet to me.

    Granted, but they're a relaxed cut. Would be nice to see the team jersey style come in a different range of colours.

    How do they compare to other bibs that cost double or more seeing that they are using the same pad?

    For £45 notes they are OK. I wouldn't pay the RRP of £56 - at that price Endura F260 bibs would be better VFM.
    Fit is good, although leg grippers on the tight side. Only 1 20 mile ride so far.

    Thank you for that, interesting to see Endura mentioned, I have not ever tried their bibs but I will definetly consider these.
