Basically I want some 'normal' clothes I can cycle to work/shop/pub in and not have to worry about stretching the knees/wearing out the crotch of my nice jeans and not have to wear 3-4 layers up top and get too hot/be really uncomfortable. I popped out earler in some nice jeans and 4 layers on top and felt really uncomfortable. I, like you don't have far to commute so I'm not interested in bibs etc.
The 'commuter' gear I've been looking at is reinforced/slightly weather proof so it'd already be an improvement on what I have now, not just some 3M tape ;)
I too heard the commuter gear from levi's is good, but the price i just can't justify, i'd rather buy a few pairs of the same jeans and just wear them out
