Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Rapha x B'twin

Is it me, or is there a sense of going back to old core values in the new season offerings? I am liking the styling of just about everything. Nice to see the old Rapha Continental crew on film again too.

Those fades are already kicking off a bit of internet controversy.

cute

Looks like they're launching 2016 properly now, at least. It's been really fragmentary up until now.

Should have pulled the website for a couple days and blasted it all off at once. V interested to see what's been moved to 'Core'. No revamped softshell or hardshell so far. I just bought a hardshell so waiting with baited breath not to be annoyed.

Wonder if they're going to offer new Brevet luggage? That roll up bag that fits up front on the bars look interesting

There is going to be on bike luggage this year according to this: http://pages.rapha.cc/events/sixteen-for-2016

And a helmet

Probably should get one tbh.

Calling it at £250.

Current "stylish" helmet is the Paul Smith/Kask one at £220. Surely not as pricy.
I reckon £190

nah it's going to be cheap, like maybe £50? According to the promo video you just hang it off your stem for some completely unfathomable reason, so it doesn't actually need any safety measures.

Yeah, spose. Dunno what their USP is gonna be, how do you make a helmet stylish?

by not wearing one

By making it out of cloth, with a itty-bitty peak.

Reflective brevet socks tested on the Transcontinental. Certainly pricey. They must be nice as Ultan walked all the way down the Finestre.

How come he was on (reflective) foot? All I remember from the decent was 1000's of crickets on the warm tarmac flying everywhere as I passed then a big fuckoff dog that lives at the bottom scaring the shit out of me so I almost decked it.
