  • The one thing I was really looking forward to this season...pro team climbers collection. Massive disappoint.

    I don't understand how there's still such an inconsistency between what the actual pros wear and what Rapha sell us...the bibs that many of the pros have been wearing for two seasons now are so evidently far more advanced in many ways than the so called Pro Team line.

    The fit on the jersey on all examples looks awful as well, you simply can't pay €170 for a jersey that bunches like that on the shoulders, arms and stomach. Pro Team my arse!

  • How are the pro bibs more advanced than the retail ones? Legit question, not being argumentative.

    My Pro Team bibs are the second best I've ever owned. Old Rapha CX ones being the first.

  • The bibs are different in many ways...straps, fabric, and leg grippers being the main one. Even Assos has moved on from the more antiquated Rapha design now.

    You just have to scrutinise the rider kit which comes up on ebay every now and then to see the differences.
