looking for some new summer kit but can't believe how pricey things have gone £95 for shorts and £55 for a top , I wouldn't pay that for best clothes , is it that cyclists just take it for granted that that's what you have to pay
Don't then, look for a better value brand. Plenty out there.

Craft
Optimum
Plenty of places now have own brand - DHB/Wiggle
Try decathlon, generally pretty good vfm for bike clothing.
Shop in the sales and don't be picky about colour.
that's the trouble , ive set my sights on red shorts and they all seem to be over £75
Just buy black! There's always something cheap in black.

Just bought a new jersey for road riding in - £20 from on-one/planet X, still riding in my shorts from Funkier - £18 (chain reaction) which have been good for the last 1000miles.
Off road, I wear the same shorts with some grotty old shorts over the top, t-shirt wise, hi-gear regulate t-shirt from go out doors (£6). If it's windier, then I have a Montane featherlite (£25) and a thermal from M&S (£15).
That's all of my kit for less than the price of the shorts you're looking at.
I got my spiffy new Troy Lee shorts for £20 a couple of weeks ago......they're bright purple and lime but, y'know, haterz gonna hate.

Last year's best clothes win. Just don't worry too much about the colour.
A proud owner of some rather green Fox shorts.
I'm liking madison kit these days, strong, well finished and fairly priced.
