Stylish cycling kit

Found their sizing and I am bang on between a S and a M. Don't want to send shit back to the good ol' USofA, so might not bother at all.

I need some new cycling shorts. I'd like a pair that finish above the knee, are not baggy, plain- no nasty MTB designs, quick drying, no seams/ pockets on the seat and not Rapha expensive. Any suggestions?

Pedaled KYOTO GRAVEL SHORT looks good to me..havent tried it personally though.

If you want well made bibs at medium prices and you stay away from the patterned stuff, La Passione are very well made for the price

EDIT: just realised you probably mean normal shorts not bib shorts, so that won't be much use as a recommendation. Sorry, being slow today

My swrve have been great, super comfortable. Bit pricey but have lasted 2 years so far and are showing no signs of slowing down

It reads a bit like the old adage 'Light, Strong, cheap, pick two'

Just treat yourself to some rapha touring shorts, you won't regret it ;-)

You can have all three!

I'm selling some Rapha Randonee shorts...

I need a new cap. Where does nice caps?

Seen a photo of a t-shirt with that slogan on it and even though I have tattoo's I agree wholeheartedly with it

I have a small Rapha Pro Team Jersey, and a small Team Dream jersey and the TD is a slightly roomier fit whilst still being pretty skin tight. It just feels less tight.

Team dream team For me ( a medium )same as a medium morvelo or miltag jersey

Similar to Rapha, medium fit medium.

Their fit is lovely thought.

@JamesQGM cheers both. I'm 173cm/71kg. Medium for me?

I have a team dream jersey, it's lovely, well made and good quality. I just wish the pockets were a bit bigger, they're a bit on the short side.

Yeah in that range I guess..I'm 176cm/69kg if that helps.
For me it's snug but not gabba tight

Anyone ever purchased bibshorts from China?

Looks very similar to this at half the price

They sell Monton on Sport Pursuit but I've never bought any.

Probikekit have jumped on the bandwagon and are doing 'stylish' kit. Cheap and doesn't look too bad but the fit might be a bit shit if you're a climber (this is a particularly bad example, the other ones are on more normal models and look reasonable).

Ha ha. Woeful fit. Baggy top and moose knuckle shorts.

Yeah, not a good one that, for sure. Others are better, but still undeniably crap material/cut, similar to morvelo and maap (neither ideal) but a tonne cheaper. This one is slightly better

Cheers! Just ordered one in blue.
