Which 3/4 length lycra running shorts?

[Jonny69]

I've been out buying lycra today

Actually, I found something ideal. I was looking for some lycra shorts or thermals to cover my thighs under my normal shorts for cycling and found North Face Lightning Capri 3/4 length shorts. They are perfect because they are the right length to go under my shorts and also cover my knees; but the downside? £40

I didn't see anything else like them in any of the other shops. Does anyone else make them like that? Or is £40 just the going rate? I only say it because I picked up some full length Karrimors reduced to £10.99. I don't want padded cycling shorts because most of my commute is not on the bike, but 3/4 length is more useful to me than full length.
