Hi folks
I'm in a bit of a mood because i haven't got any clean cycling shorts and i was planning a new bike route for this evening. Anyway......i need a few new pairs of shorts for training purposes.
After buying a wetsuit last week (unplanned spending) i am really strapped for cash. I don't want to buy crap, so where can i find the best VALUE cycling shorts?
Any help you can offer is gratefully received.

That any good - unused but I've cut the tags off.
Only 1 pair though , sorry but I need the others
Black Massi size large
Any good ?
A quick swill through at a low temp and a spin.
They'll dry soon enough - and certainly no worse than if you were going from swim -> bike, so good practice.
I assume that Telford is still basking in the heat wave.
thanks mate, that's very kind of you, but i'm only little! I think large would be a little baggy! thank you for a kind offer.
@ JH
you're right jack, i have washed them and they're on the line as i type. I'm gonna go get them off the line and get on my bike when Sara gets back from Sainsburys!
I've looked on Wiggle and these seem pretty good, are they the best value option?

They are a large but come up too small for me - your welcome to try them. Again unused and cost me a fair old whack so I'd rather they go to a good home ( I couldn't find them initially but I found them in the other bike kit box.
They are yours if you want them.
PM me your mobile number and I'll take a pic of them send it to you.
On problem Jess, here's a preview [:D]

I have the bib short version of the Dhbs and I reckon the bloody great for the money. Personally id rather buy a couple of pairs of these and only keep them 1 maybe 2 seasons then get some more when they start to get baggy and worn ive had £150 assos shorts before and they didnt last 4 times as long and werent 4 times as comfy.
Thats my opinion ....
Mat
on a ride of greater than 3-4 hours, you would prob want to spend a bit more money.
As for the ride, i did go and get the semi-dry tri-suit off the line and got on my bike, just got back from a swift 28k ride (average 20mph....which is good for me).......so pleased i went now.......[:D][:D][:D][:D]
There's absolutely nothing that compares to a damn good workout is there? I felt crappy before i went and great now!
I love training. I love training. I love training.
Best shorts I ever bought!
There are a few Decathlons in the UK, there is certainly one in London - if you are ever here it's in Surrey Quays, and the shorts are great!
I have a pair of the bib ones and they are great!
