Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Condor are a Rapha stockist, irrespective of any team sponsorship arrangements.

Maybe they are going to stop stocking Rapha? The men's stuff is in small section on the right now, much less prominent than it used to be. Maybe it isn't worth their while since the RCC opened? Never seen them reduce all their stock by 40% before.

Are the Pro Team Bib Shorts worth the extra cash over the Classic bib shorts?

Are you a pro team Bod or a dad bod?

Classic rain jacket any good?

I have both and find the classics a tad more comfortable and generally use them more for longer rides. Pro deffo look and feel very nice though. I get more use out of the classics.

Same here , long rides the classic, quick and intense one via pro. Cold ones with my cervorosso thermo

2 Pairs Rapha Long winter merino Cycling Socks only £8.49 FREE POST TO UK!!

Just got told by the other half when I was being indecisive about buying a new seatpost "For fucks sake you just bought a complete set of the gayest cycling kit ever, if you could buy that you can buy a seatpost"

I get a feeling she does not approve of full data print kit wanker look.

At least you have the go-ahead on the seatpost!

I see the blue trade team is out of stock, what's the chances of the red one dropping to £35 now?

Juan Antonio Flecha looked very fetching in it during his reccie of the Vuelta TTT

Wiggins is back in stock.

Buy them all and sell on eBay?

Just send her a link to the hipster atrocities in the Stylish Cycling Kit thread.. then she'll see just how manly you are.

She's right though - it's a fucking seatpost. Just buy one. If you're worried about comfort, change tyres or tyre pressure.

Tried one on today, too nodderglo for my tastes.

When I last visited the Soho store they were perfectly happy to do a size exchange on some base layers that I'd ordered online and were too big.

What they can't do is change items where the monetary value is different and need to process extra payments or refunds.

The gift voucher thing is proper useless though. I have some as a leaving gift from work, but only being able to use them online indicates that behind the scenes there's a reasonable amount of string and gaffa tape holding together Rapha's back-office systems.

After today I can safely say I am in love with classic wind jacket.

^ it's on sale at Condor if you want a second.

I know I posted the link ;)

Yes you can. I returned something to Evans West End today that I bought on their website.

How do the classics jerseys fit in comparison to any of the other jerseys?

Annoyingly I am between sizes and/or of an incompatible shape. XS is too short in the body and sleeves, S is waaayyy too baggy pon the chest.

Any of the other jerseys have a comparatively longer cut in the torso?

Nodderglo shadow?

Sounds perfect.

Softshell baselayer.
What was the verdict?

Dropped into Condor today and tried on the Pro Team Aero. Did not feel aero, or attractive.
