Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

How long do you have to wait between signing up for the newsletter and getting a code? (Does it work like that?) and does the code stack with bundle deals?

Supposed to be buying a present, but reading that ^ I might have to get the arm warmers for me too :-/

No and Yes.

No

You only get a code when you don't want anything. They know...

Yes!

I always found too much padding hurt more than just a thin pad after an 9 hour ride

@fussballclub Bit late I know but we got some Brevet jerseys and gilets down in Shepton today.

Most of us have 10% code, let us know if you need that.

I've got a 15% code you can have, you can use on bundles too. Drop me a pm...

Wore my Wiggo jersey today for the commute, very nice. but the arms seemed to bunch up a bit. Is that due to my skinny arms or wrong sizing or something else?

Pics?

I saw a rather rotund fella in a full Sky ensemble (including a Pinarello and the Giro laced shoes) with a Wiggo jersey on yesterday. None of his jersey was bunching up. Anywhere.

That was the second horrifying image of the day on my commutes, on the way up Crystal Palace Park Road yesterday morning I caught a fella wearing an old style Brixton Cycles jersey whose shorts must have dated from the same vintage. It was retina searingly horrible.

I'll get pics this evening.

Do you commute through oval and use panniers? May have seen you this morning...

Not today, I went Burgess Park and Tower Bridge. I also use a Carradice Super c SQR Slim, rather than panniers:

Which I can't recommend enough.

Thank you, not late at all! Anybody local can pick that up for me please?

Some seatpacks on the eBay outlet if interested

Rapha eBay outlet selling JLT Pro Team shorts in large : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rapha-Condor-JLT-Team-Issue-Bib-Shorts-/161724872517?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276

Bloody bargain, if anyone was thinking about what Pro Team shorts are like, go balls deep and get a pair, you can't go wrong at this price (unless you aren't a large).

They are also selling seat packs for £15 : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rapha-Seat-Pack-/151703210195?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276

These work well once you figure out the best way to get your gear in there. I use one of my daughters black hair bobbles to make sure it doesn't unravel mid ride.

What's the sizing like if you wear a Medium classic bib? Should you go a size up on the Pro Team Kit?

Thread should be renamed to 'Rapha, nice but pricey? But don't size up/down .. srsly DONT'

I wear the same size in bibs.

Ha! Think its more the selle smp dynamic than the shorts

I have one from Mac Workshop that explodes periodically, very frustrating!

thanks chaps... i wish i were a little bit fatter now!
