Bib shorts for the 'stocky'

Having struggled by with bib shorts from sales websites that are too long for my endomorph frame (only 5ft 7 tall and no stranger to the sweet trolley), can anyone recommend a brand or model of cycling short around £40-£60 that has a short inseam?

shuttvelorapide.com - sized for the 'Typical UK Sportive Gent', I am assured.

Snap, 5'8" and a 46" chest doesn't always compute with cycling companies. As i've mentioned in an earlier post try Start Cycles (more mile range) they do a healthy fit.

For shorts try cycle-clothing.co.uk they do a range by a company called speg. When i was 17st and just starting back out on my bike after an op their shorts were perfect and reasonably priced.
