Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

It's weird-was going to buy the yellow (or chartreuse or whatever they call it) for the £50 but this morning has gone back to £110
B**rds

Yeah, I like it a lot, but the crash holes and the blood stains are getting a bit passé.

(They used to be gnarlé, but you know, life moves on.)

Love the kit but it's getting a bit too pricey for most.

I (or at least the back of my Restrap jersey) was spotted in one of the most smug corporate collaboration videos ever made. I should be ashamed of myself.

Quite a lot of new stuff in order:

Link seems broken

haha, was working this morning. might be a case of being published accidently before a specific date.

Was it just the new Brevet stuff?

No it was the full spring collection including an aero skinsuit, etc. Some of it looked as gash as the brevet though.

Here you go ... http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/rapha-spring-summer-2015-collection-revealed

Is the Pro Team Softshell Base Layer a compression top with a lick of grangers ??

I don't care if you can make it at home with an aubergine. It sounds like a great idea to me.

Anyone on here tried one yet?

I did; its great .. I am size small

Damn useful I reckon... if the dwr lasts regular washing.

That's the thing & at €100 its not too pricey :) .
I have used a thermal Skins compression top (Cold weather) & a 2xu compression top (Cool weather) treated with grangers waterproofing for racing & they are ideal for cold & wet races, unless it milling it down where the gabba / mossa comes out. I'm loathe to stick pins in a rapha softshell :)

I've been in the market for a Castelli San Remo style onsie. I dont get on With castelli fit though. Been trying to rope folk into a Group buy of the Verge Carrea ones. But now Rapha is making one. Fecking first thing on my kit list for 2015 I think. Wonder if they do a L top M bottom combo.

Maybe a M and I'll just have to replace more Food With bath sponges.

those retro jerseys LOL

I can't workout why the transfer gilet is back to £110 and also not listed on the site.

RAPHA ARE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE A NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH SIR BRADLEY WIGGINS

“Sir Bradley Wiggins is one of the very few individuals who transcend the sport. He combines world-leading performances on the road and track with a love of the culture and history of cycling and the charisma to inspire riders, fans and the general public. It’s flattering and exciting to be working with him.”

– Rapha founder and CEO, Simon Mottram

my girlfriend's parents bought a brand new merino track top for me from a charity shop in Dorset for £4.95. even in my size :)

David Millar is doing a clothing range with Castelli so at least you'll know it's going to be pricey.

That looks familiar...

Also, before Sky were sponsored by Rapha, didn't Wiggo have a go at them in an interview?

How do you know its £110 when its not on the website? The jackets are not there anymore either. Which sucks as I want to get another for the lady before we go touring.

Which jacket is it you're after?

I'll have a Women's Rain Bomber spare when my GF decides what size she wants.
