Just received some. I wasn't expecting a lot for 8 squid and boy was I surprised! Assuming they
don't shrink or fall apart prematurely they look like they'd retail for at least 40 notes with the
right label at a LBS.

OK, so now you've whetted our appetites, where did you get them from?

You mean you wear them as a top layer? I suppose I've seen enough riders with shorts (often brightly
coloured) over tights (often black)

- Richard, who wears his shorts as a base layer, and any extra tights, trousers, cycle top on top.

Wow! "Paving Slab Fairy" comes up with more than 10 pages on Google Groups. She must really be
against bib anythings.

Mine all arrived yesterday when I was at work, they don't look too bad. My only grip is that the
jersey has an elasticated bottom, one of my pet hates, mind you I can't really complain for 8GBP...

One other grip, it took me 15 minutes to blow up the free beach ball... I'm *so* unfit! ;-)

The Offspring had done it for me by the time I got home. Clearly she didn't like the idea of The Old
Scrote going dizzy and toppling over, at least not before dinner!

Free beach ball. You lucky so-and-so... I bought both top and bibtights at a local Tchibo store, and
got no free beach ball. (Sorry Helen....) The medium size for both was absolutely tiny, so I swapped
for large. Tights are OK-ish, but the top is now too large. You can't win. I do like the top though.

I might wear the top on tomorrow's ride from London to Canterebury. Meet at Peckham Puls 9am for a
75 mile ride.

I know better then to wear the bibtights on a pre-announced itinerary. I've never actually worn
bibshorts or tights before, but now that I have them security levels must be stepped up. Never take
the same route two days running, always search under the bike with a mirror etc.
