Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

There was a mercian-framed track bike on there too - ~£5000 iirc.

Holy shit. I was in a Paul Smith outlet store at the weekend and noticed they had Kashimax x Paul Smith saddles. A snip at $250.

Nice but not so pricey if anyone wants an XL bomber jacket

So I just read that Paul Smith is selling a cycling cap for £100. Is this a joke?

the hint is in bold ^

FINE I'll buy that Nike jacket then

you should buy Gyakusou

I saw someone with the paul Smith barbershop track bike the other day, it was quite beautiful.

Was about to suggest the very same. I've found a lot of it at acceptable prices in Nike outlets actually.

They're not even NJS....

They were, however, a rather fetching space puke green..

Nice!

I've got a couple of s/s jerseys (S) and bomber jacket (M) for sells:

Folks, I've just fulfilled a long standing dream of riding in shitty cold weather while wearing more than one Rapha item.

That actually is a csb.

This entire topic is one.

Has anyone experienced this on their knee warmers / leg warmers?

I've owned these for two seasons, but after the first season the stretch fibers where my knee caps are, stsrted to tear. Now the patch is spreading each time I wash them and the little rubber fibers are rubbing off like crazy

I wonder if it's cuz my knees are fat lol.

You think rapha will do some sort warranty or discount me on a next purchase?

I'm not sure what type of life expectancy these garments should have haha.

I got the same on my 3/4 Cross bibs. Assumed it was just regular wear and time to get new ones.

Those look like carpet burns...

Lol

I haven't had that on any of my Rapha stuff.

You clearly don't have sex in yours.

That looks like they've been washed using fabric conditioner or to strong detergent. The conditioner costs the fibres and separated them which damages their elasticity until they break.

I had a pair of assos knee warmers and that only happened to the right one. I assumed stubbly knees did the damage.

asymmetrical shaving?

some sort of track aerodynamics/only turning left?
