What bib shorts should I buy?

[alldaysmith]

Hi All. I've just bought myself my first road bike, a Merida ride lite 93. I'm very tall and slim, 6"1' and just under 12 stone, can anyone recommend some decent bib shorts for my body shape? Budget of about £80 maximum.
Thanks in advance folks.

Castelli seem popular, especially for the slimmer rider, have a look at Sigma, Evans, Wiggle etc for deals

E.g. http://www.evanscycles.com/products/castelli/presto-duo-bibshorts-ec046754?country=GB&currency=GBP or to top of budget http://www.evanscycles.com/products/castelli/velocissimo-due-bib-shorts-ec033337

Another 10% off at the mo with code CL10

As a bloke, you'd be best to avoid red or white shorts

I was recommended Endura by a Cambridge club member. ( One of those 100k a day blokes. Huh! Makes yer spit. )

He said, "not the most expensive make but the ones with the 600 pad are good".

He was spot on.

As stated above DHB are excellent value but if you can stretch to another 8 quid the Castelli endurance bibs are super comfy.

Another DHB fan here. The 'Tour' pad is nice and comfy. Either that or Altura ProGel which are also ok.

I've found Decathlon 7's good for 50+ distances. Good price too. Though I'm a different body shape to you.

I use these cheapos. They work for me.

They take about a week to 10 day to arrive though,
