    Hi there, I have a pair of cheap pair Nalini 6 Panel Bib-Shorts (too big for me at that) which cost €16 on PBK here http://www.probikekit.com/display.php?code=C8185

    I was thinking of upgrading to something with a decent chamois, but without spending crazy Assos money! I was looking at a pair of grey Giordana shorts for €70 in my LBS and I came across these De Marchi Contour Plus here for €70 too! http://www.cyclestore.co.uk/productDetails.asp?productID=15758&categoryID=312 They have some other good deals on bib shorts from this brand!

    What do ye think of these brands? Any preferences? Is it a cycling sin to colour clash you clothes? I have a Euskaltel-Euskadi luminous orange jersey which wouldn't go great with red shorts!!!

    TinyExplosions has a competition on to have as much clashing team kit as possible. Personally I think it inadvisable to get into competitions with TinyExplosions but each to his own...

    Well, a body art competition for certain.

    Those red ones look terrible on that muscular gentleman in the pics, but who knows? they might suit you.

    IIRC Giordana are made by Nike. I would go for the De Marchi
