Bib shorts and jersey for £80 ??

[inkd]

Ok all, so I will have about £80 for bib shorts and a SS jersey next month. I have been looking about in the usual online shops and it seems I can get a reasonable set for the money. Here is the problem, I have bought a few jerseys from ebay only to relist them as the fit is too snug.. As another post on here says I am after a looser fit, I am 5`5" 41" chest 33" waist. I have some altura pro gel shorts which I like also some Speg tights which are a good fit. So I was looking at either going for the altura set or DHB trace set from Wiggle. Or bib shorts and two jerseys from here http://www.cycle-clothing.co.uk/ .
Any other suggestions?? I was going to look in Hargroves as they are local also decathlon.

Try the Planet X clothing page on their site. They are of good quality and have a good returns policy if the items are not fitting to your liking and you need to change size.

Have a look at sigma's clearance, can have some cracking bargains on higher end kit

Aldi have a cycling sale coming up on 29th June. Looks like they might have bibshorts and ss tops, although I'm only guessing as the picture has someone standing in bibshorts and ss top and gloves. You could try them on in the shop.

The sizing on the bibshorts is absolutely spot on ( although the shoulder straps are a smidgen on the sort side if anything).
With the tops, go for the clubman fit rather than pro...as this is more forgiving for those of us with a more "comfort oriented" build.

All top quality, and a very reasonable price.

Thanks for the heads up, I hope these are a good deal!

No bibshorts on offer according to their publicity. Ordinary shorts are nothing like the same.

Well I nipped into aldi yesterday. Got myself some padded shorts, riding Jersey and gloves for £22 quid. It's cheap stuff but will get me going at least

Well that`s three people that recommended Planet X for clothing, I have bought lights and a few bits from them before and never had a problem so will give them a punt when my money comes through
