Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Large. It's bastard tight but works well providing I don't get off the bike.

regarding sizing, are you sizing up the pro team one in comparison to the usual merino one or same size?

I've got the same size in both. No need to size up for base layers.

thanks

I'm a 97cm chest, so I take a medium in both.

"soccer and pony and greyhound races..." lol

Guys, leg warmers...

I bought size M's according to the measurements on the website, but they turn out to be a bit tight.

So do they get loose after a few wears or is it worth getting L instead? The bottom zip struggles to do up lol.

Also PT Thermal bibs are a tad tight compared to my old Replica Sky bibs in the same size!

In strong Rapha fashion more items released into the sale! (And price drops) :D

^^really ? Can't see any new items in the sale?

Think its the new stuff that was added after the initial splurge, so 1/2 days ago?

New stuff in. YEAH pro team baselayer, but not reduced?

Edit > they took the usual one out again and out the data print in :)

Oops I cracked. Purple randonnée shorts on their way.

You always been a cracker!

Lightweight bomber jacket is basically a city wind jacket. Best for spring/summer riding on cooler days to keep the breeze off and will hold off a shower fine for the length of a short commute but isn't fully waterproof.

Women's wind jacket is thinner so less warm but with the same wind-deflecting abilities.

The rain bomber is an entirely different jacket which is better for autumn/winter as it's a lot warmer (it's got a mesh lining inside which makes a lot of difference), it will keep you dry even if it's torrentially raining and keep 100% wind out but is still very breathable. So during winter I wear it as my everyday commuting jacket to keep out all the elements, not just rain.

The blue trade team jersey is beginning to grow on me, especially at £45...

Thanks that's really helpful.

Unfortunately there are no suitable sizes of the light weight bomber. So its sort of back to the drawing board. But from what youve said the rain bomber may be the better year round choice.

Brevet gilets are down to sixty quid, but with my finger hovering over the button the effect is just a bit too Bumblebee Man to commit.

I generally use "View All" instead of clicking on the "Mens Sale" link. I find that sometimes the new items they put on sale doesn't show up on the "Mens Sale" link, usually takes 24-48 hours to show in that category.

New items... Data print items (Aerosuit, arm screens, hats, baselayers, socks, carry case), Sky color jersey, green PT bibs, etc.

Price drops on the trade team jerseys.

if you keep on reporting like this you should get a flattr button ;-)

Any RCC members care for me to ask them a few Q's over PM?

Do it

Thank you. Ordered.

I was umming over those in the shop yesterday... I can't decide if that purple quite works though.

Trade Teams, arms are a bit long, no?
