    Default Decent grey bibs?

    You guys seem more fashion forward then I do, so I'll toss this out there. This summer I'll probably want to add another pair or two of bib shorts into the rotation. Is anyone offering an off the shelf dark grey option? White clothing is my enemy, and I wouldn't mind drifting a tint away from classic black. I prefer no/ little branding if possible. Anything worth checking out?

    I know Assos made shorts in a grey. They called the color "titan."

    Maybe the Factory outlet has some?

    i had grey bibs once. they showed every drop of sweat and looked stained more often than not. i would recommend grey accents at most

    Search & State definitely worth checking out - black bibs but three jersey options ranging from black to army green to cool grey. More versatile than grey bibs, go nuts swapping out tops.

    I second this with a hearty endorsement. I love my search and state jerseys.

    I don't mind the sweat and stains, honestly. Sure beat's white or yellow, n'est pas?

    I know black goes with everything, but I really only need these to go with a paired top or two for rotation. Black is easy (and ubiquitous).

    Thanks for the leads folks- I'll check them out.

    I know the op said no white, but S&S is coming out with a white jersey in April. Looks smooth.

    Eric, for sure Voler and probably some of the other custom places will have a grey or other darker variation come Spring. I'm sure I've seen other companies that I can't recall at the moment.

    Balleur Brown?

    The new Giro clothing has what seems like a nicely designed system of either waist or bib undershorts and then a series of overshorts in a variety of materials. Swrve also makes urban cycling shorts that would work with this system. Most of these come in gray. I think if I was doing a lot of touring or commuted daily, I might check this stuff out.

    Thanks for the note about the Swrve stuff. I was just thinking about some new shorts for summer (it was 65* Friday) and some of their stuff looks right up my alley.

    Nalini come in a grey, or at least the Tucano. I got some over the winter and they're pretty great bibs! I really dig the pad.
