I got some Adidas T-Mobile bibs on sale for $58. I really like the Adidas cycling stuff, I have some of their bib tights, too, and they're great.
I've been thinking about getting some of the Castelli Ergo bibs from PBK, though.

I have loved the Performance Elite. I have a 07 and an 08 pair and I like the 08's a lot better.

Nalini are my favorites and not that expensive. They are made from very lightweight lycra so they may not be the most durable but they just work.

I second Addidas T-Mobile Bibs - my favorite pair right now and have been for a long time.

You might say that they steal your soul or something, but if you do your own bike work and don't mind wearing stuff that's black, then they have some pretty decent deals.

Descente Prologue or Chevron bibs($60-$75 at PBK). I like them because they feature an 11" inseam that fits my long legs well.

I like the voler bibs from Hammer nutrition. They have the top end voler chamois for $49. And if you are a first time orderer and get referred (pm me if you want a referal code) you get 15% off of that price.

The Hammer Volers absolutely kill anything Performance puts out. I like my Perf Elites but they're fraying in the crotch after a year. The Voler ION SL pad is much better.

Voler via Hammer Nutrition.

Descente Aero X Bib Shorts are my favorite.
Giordana gets very high value ratings for the Silverline and Corsa models.

Santini CX Bibs you can find them from anywhere between $55-70. These bibs are great they’re form fitting, very comfy, the bibs stay in place /they don’t move when riding in or out of the saddle. The chamois pad is thin but still better than most top end pads; they are comfy and stay comfortable ever on 60 mile rides.

For the money, the Hammer/Voler bibs can't be beat. I also have some Performance Ultras and they are ok but I much prefer the Hammer.

Ok. Thanks for all the responses. Just some more questions. Is there anywhere that sells voler that arent the hammer nutrition ones? Not a fan of the big words on the side but if there is a large price difference I can make do with the words.
Also for descente. What model is the one for the CSC team kits? Aero X? Chevron? Prologue? By the chamois it seems to be the prologue. Are they as quality as the top of the line voler hammer gives? I guess they are worth the $30 either way.

I just got a pair of these. They were in a 'Bicycling' rag as a good buy. The 'Ultra' bibs have the Performance gel chamois that I don't particularly care for. The Elite is really comfortable and for $79 you can't go wrong. I go on Tuesday at lunch to get the 10% off special and then I get 10% more back because of a Performance membership. You can't beat it.
You might say that they steal your soul or something, but if you do your own bike work and don't mind wearing stuff that's black, then they have some pretty decent deals.

Hammer's are okay however with all of the graphics, it's hard as heck to match a jersey to them (other than Hammer's!)

The new design for the hammer bibs is much more descrete than the 2007 design. But then again I never concerned my self with matching the bibs to the jerseys.
