Okay I am going to bite the bullet and get the biking shorts and a jersey (hopefully if funds are there).

The wife got me some MTB pants and the chamois is pretty nice I must admit after using it for a while. But I want to be one of the cool kids and look like everyone else in the group! Has anyone some decent recommendations on brands that are decent? I see Nashbar has some decent brands at decent prices but have never ordered this stuff online.
