Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Quite liking the data print, what the Assos mille needed to be

Funny you should say that, it reminds me of Assos.

What no T-Mobile? :(

When did you order yours? I've got one coming, but the expected date was a bit wooly

It's obvious that they're doing a bit of brand disruption to stop the whole thing from stagnating. My prediction - a couple of seasons of this jazzy crap and then they'll start re-plugging into their 'classics' collection to keep all the old people happy, whilst pushing this more stuff forward and keeping the Pro Team selection minimal and serious-feeling, (with performance nomenclature) as possible to feed their custom club kit scheme.

fo' rizzle dizzle mah nizzles

rapha ripping of team dream team

I think it represents LeMond (Oakleys) Hinault (Badger) and errr... someone else..

Henri Cornet?

Ah yeah, that Trek logos does look like a badger face, whom in the peloton was referred as a Joker?

Henri Cornet?

in the 80's?

Must admit the Badger is very Trek like..

I'm sure you've got the capability and the time to google it yourself.

'Three Pro Team jerseys have been designed to resemble the Renault, ANC and La Vie Claire teams of the period, each with plenty of knowing touches for fans of the originals. A car-badge inspired logo sits on the chest of the Renault re-imagining while an Oakley-style sunglasses graphic adorns the La Vie Claire jersey, invoking the image of Greg LeMond. The ANC-inspired jersey is littered with joker and playing card symbols, highlighting the British team's wildcard entry to the Tour de France in 1987.'

I think it's the faux branding that bother me the most. Cheap looking and unnecessary.

30/01, its come directly from china hence the woolyness I suppose.

What's going on at rapha? I thought they were all about the understated cycling garment?

No, they're all about the expensive cycling garment

Makes you wonder if they are going to bring out a Laura Ashley/Kath Kidston flower print colab in spring given those "efforts" above....

I imagine that the new stuff is trying to appeal to bankers with no taste?

I suspect they figured you only need so many monochrome cycle jerseys

^ This. That's the trouble with selling durable and timeless items. You rapidly saturate your market leaving you with no scope for further growth.

Quite a fan of the new pattern tbh, gonna look bloody awful if you have a paunch and distort the stripes mind. The rumoured skinsuits could be interesting.

I like their new look.

It says "Rapha. The same shit as every other cycling clothing manufacturer. Except really expensive."

PK is such a dreamboat.. Those eyes..

He can feather my brakes anytime..

That jawline.
