I know it's a strange request. I've just got a very nice red cycling top from my grandad for christmas and, for some strange reason, fancy getting some white bib shorts to go with it (I have a pair of black ones already), however, I can't seem to find any. I'm usually size medium and my budget is circa £50, but cheaper = better as long as quality doesn't suffer. Assos do some nice ones but they're mega expensive frown

Any tip-offs greatly appreciated. Thanks, Arry.

Have a look on Wiggle at their DHB range, perhaps the Finchdean which is marginally over budget but gets great reviews.

Castelli do white/red bib shorts. They are cheaper than Assos I think.

I'll try to find a link

Probikekit.com have a few special edition (e.g National champs) bib shorts which are predominantly white for around £40-50

As a general rule, and there are a few, you cannot wear white shorts unless you are Tour material. It's an unspoken rule. Please consider what i have said.

Only 2 types of cyclists allowed to wear white shorts, ladies and professionals. Everyone else, it just should not be done! No point in debating it really.

After close encounters with cars/horses/peds, the brown stain shows up well and is difficult to remove.
