I've gone a bit FPKW and ordered a couple of pairs of these:

http://www.belkin.com/uk/p/P00430-2XL/

There's a discount code somewhere for 20% off your whole order (Google it) and you get free delivery if you spend £40, plus a sticker and a t-shirt (randomly). So I got two pairs of (presumably fairly decent quality) bibs, a set of headphones, a tshirt and indeed a sticker, all for £35.

I'm off to trade the Cervelo for a Bianchi now.

Set of bib shorts.
Cycling jersey.
Headphones.
T-shirt.
Sticker.

A Defender, a Sagaris and that Colnago? I don't normally do jealousy but I shall make an exception this one time.

Well 2 bibs, 2 tops, sticker, and a Large? (not much use) t-shirt and it's only a 10th of last weeks pistonheads encouraged spending on the spare argos road bike smile

I ordered a 2nd pair of bibs instead of the headphones, but same order otherwise. Commuter-tastic!

Not that I'm interested at all, but are you all trusting the Belkin sizing charts, just out of interest you know wink

Well, 2x bibs, 1x jersey, free sticker for the wheels bin and a free large tech top for my brother for Christmas, and I'm £33.98 the lighter.

That'll be the replacement commuting bibs sorted then.

Snap.

Ordered, just a shame they won't arrive before my wife heads back out here tomorrow so will have to wait for a visitor to bring them out. I assume they'll be relatively low end kit but will be good for short rides when everything is in the wash.

I'm using them for commuting too, but they're made by Santini (I think) so should actually be fairly decent gear.

Glad this was useful to everyone, the FPKW page is going to be flooded!
