Pretty sure this won't meet your criteria of inexpensive, but check this out (no affiliation):

Your best bet is to try to find items on sale racks in bike/tri stores, but you will tend to need to buy out-of-season (ie. winter bike clothes now and tri race gear in the fall).

Other than that - Clyde is right about checking out the sale racks at local bike shops and running stores. Race expos sometimes have some sweet deals too. Even if you aren't racing you could go and check out what they have.

Also, this is just my opinion, but cheap bike shorts SUCK. I would rather only have one pair of really good shorts than 4+ pairs of crappy ones.

Message: Absolutely, I agree about bike shorts. Started riding with cheap shorts and was always sore. Bought Pearl Izumi shorts and MUCH more comfort. My two cents.....

Message: ok, will keep the cheap shorts/sore butt comments in mind! Currently using my brothers cycling hamdme downs, need to "regender" my support. Went to multisport expo in Cambridge, Ma this weekend..nothing though. I'll keep looking, Thanks all
