No they don't come with any padding, and compared to the Humvees, the material is much thicker/stiffer. As the description states they are made from robust stretch cotton twill and are teflon coated. So despite the great price, if you prefer the thin nylon of the Humvees, these probably aren't what you are looking for.

They look like they'll be very hard wearing shorts, perhaps more suited to touring as they look far more presentable off the bike (they seem to be a much neater cut than the Humvees, not so baggy). I think they'll fare better in the rain too, though I'm not sure they'll be ideal shorts for wearing in hot weather.

Hi soulful dog - having seen the amazing prices at bspoke I too am interested in these shorts, however I can't find any photos around showing them actually being worn, so am reluctant to order not knowing what the fit is like.

Yes, this is a weird question - but would you mind supplying a photo of them being worn?

This website is also selling look cleats for £6.95 - doesn't mention if they are keo or not so I've e-mailed them to find out!


Edit, link takes you to the same tyre page so click on 'Clothes' on the left hand menu then 'Overshoes & Cleats'.

Alternatively HERE and go for 'Parts' then 'pedals'

***link removed*** i've had no email confiming order & no transaction has gone through on my account, just tried calling & the number is not in use :sad:

Got a reply on email, apparently they are taking a break from the business and are not taking any orders

As long as I breathe, I attack.
Decathlon shorts £6.99 and they fit around the legs as well as the waist !

Normally i have to go at least a size larger on the waist to get a leg the right size for my thighs.

Bib shorts as well for under £20

I got decathlon shorts and they were fine on the waist but tight on the upstroke of the pedal.

My local decathlon has shorts down from £12 to around £3.60

Just ordered a short sleeve top and a long sleeve top, sizes for bib longs seem very small, unless I'm reading it wrong.

I bought one of these, in blue, short sleeve size large yesterday.
It came today. There's nothing wrong with it, but it's a bit snug for me. I paid £12.50 inc. p&p.

Anyone want it for £9.50 posted? I've already ordered another in a XL, and a long-sleeved version. They look great.

I've ordered a large blue as well, if I take a large in Castelli and Assos do you reckon I'll fit into it?
