Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Thanks for the link - I've actually already messaged them asking if it's suitable for white leather and was just awaiting a reply!

I can go straight to BIN now. Cheers!

Nice, but a bit pervy...

Interesting, what makes you say that?

I'm all signed up to do the prudential 100 in August with a target time of 8hr 30, I thought padding may offer some relief? Or are the Rapha ones just a bit crap? (I don't do lycra/bibs so will be in my randonnee shorts)

Reperv.

^^ @colin122 - You'd really find it more pleasant in bibs.

Got some earlier, not sure my gloves need it yet so will be a while before can comment proper...

Any publicity is good...oh wait

Something something France Jersey something Friday

Nice, but a bit pervy...

If he's wearing a white Rapha shirt, and what looks like the Randonnée shorts, he really is a full kit wanker it seems!

lol'd

Next question: padder merino boxers, vulpine or rapha (they are the same price)?

These are always rubbish, and after 8 hours of a summer sportif will be like wearing a wet nappy.

The regular Rapha merino boxers are lovely, for between bike rides.

It's up!!

lmao, is that not true of any underwear?! I assumed (or foolishly hoped) the merino would help wick the sweat away and the padding would be like sitting on a cloud. Sounds like it's a resounding no though so I'll save my 45 quid!

Seriously: get bibs, wear bibs, fly.

8.5 hours in the saddle is no joke. Bibs will help a lot.

Is anyone willing to part with an old lightweight jersey in medium? I'm not sure about the current colourways

yep, agree with the others on the padded boxers, save your money and get some of their bibs. 45 quid off their PT or Classics would seem like a bargain after buying the padded boxers.

The standard boxers are a delight off bike, but the padded feel like they belong in a trans-incontinence range.

First ride in a PT jersey I got on here a while back. Very nice* in 25c sun today. Was warm but not over heating despite it being black. I can see the appeal of the PT stuff now. #awaitsnextsale

*Not that pricey either.

Ian Stannard was at the Manchester Cycle Club today for the Velochef (Henrik Orre the Team Sky chef's cookbook) launch. People got excited.

I was lucky enough to have lunch with him at the Tempest Festival, top guy.

Have a 20% off code, first person who asks here gets it, don't PM.

It must be used today.

I'll have it :)

Cheers

Off to the Pyrenees soon, as per recent discussions do I need PT Climbers jersey in Coral and matching socks?

It certainly wouldn't hurt.

I've almost perfected the thundercunt look anyway
