Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

I have the same problem, feel like chavanel.

They are stupidly tight, but the threads on mine haven't split yet!

Top LOLZ.

Yeah, I'm sending mine back.
castelli nanoflex is way better, but has massive dumb castelli logos.

Massive bike handling skills though. One tug and I'd be on my arse.

Defeet Armskins have been cheap and very comfy, although not waterproof.

This is a must have;

Best I've seen so far today.

Hilarious last year when Rapha said they were moving Headquarters to an Island in the Pacific Ocean.

Or something.

Like it

So they should refund you difference.

They have done. Cheers.

Pro Team Winter tights, wore them today for a brisk 30 miles of Kent lanes, really comfortable - would recommend.

Only thing is if you are tall and skinny be aware that they'll size up as 4/5th length, rather than full length (medium at 187cm).

So my application to join RCC was accepted, only applied to see what happened but now I'm half tempted. Who's a member in London, what are the rides like.. It would probably be women's rides for me but not sure if women are permitted on the mens rides too. @Scoot do you go on the women's rides sometimes?

There are no "men's ride", although they might end up being just that. The London concierge is a woman BTW, if you have any concerns.

Ha, fail on my part. So it's rides for anyone and women's rides. Not worried about riding with the guys, just wondered if anyone has any thoughts or experiences to share.

Yes £200 donation to East beers.

You can have my Feather cap.

Haha exactly, that's why I'm asking. 200 quid is a lot of money but far less than I'd spend on other ways to do an activity over a year but more expensive than other clubs. Nice but.. Etc.

Have a coffee every day for a year and you're well in.

RCC is less apealing to those of us in the sticks, but I can see how it would be a good option for those in London. The kit is awesome too, better than the new season offerings (apart from the Aero Jersey which is stunning)

The kit is awesome too, better than the new season offerings (apart from the Aero Jersey which is black)

These coral colours need to do one ASAP

I am hoping the Pro Team Gilet will finally be in production this year too

Mental that it has taken them so long to release one, really.

Any pics of the RCC kit?
