Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

I have the Navy jersey and black shorts and the jersey looks nowhere near as 'thin' as what the lighter colours look like (the pink and light blue)

Rapha makes nothing 105ish.

Classics is Dura Ace.

I guess you think that only Pro Team is like Dura Ace? You're wrong.

PT Aero is Di2, so what is PT?

Well this has all gone a bit Partridge

Shift a Dura Ace bike and an Ultegra bike blind-folded and you won't be able to tell the difference. When you can tell the difference is by looking at them, weighing them or measuring deflection...

Core is Ultegra.

What about Super Record and Chorus?

This analogy is quite loose. Let's just roll with it.

DHB blok is 105

That is actually a test I would like to do.
Compare DA and Ultegra mechnical and Di2 blinfolded on exact same bikes.

Whilist also changing between Core, Classic and PT of course.
Blindfolded.

Riding bikes blindfolded probably won't end well.

Is brevet rene herse with friction shift then?

They're Assos.

Brevet is classics with a Scoble onion placed at the entrance to your batty'ol

actual lol

So not for people with eyes?

Should have added: in a windtunnel on rollers
the scientific aero knowledge gain would be enormous

Rollers don't work in wind tunnels because of the magnets.

Savings have been made in various ways. In the shorts, one type of stitching rather than three has been used, with a two-panel construction as opposed to the multiple panels its shorts are usually constructed from.

Makes sense, Assos have been selling various grades like this for years.

Is Rapha actually paying you just to sit in this thread?

Classic=Tri-X
Core=Konica SRG 3200
PT=digital?

No, they pay me to do my job but I'm really easily distracted. It's here, memes, trainers and cat threads.

@Señor_Bear is actually employed as Global Head of Trolling at Rapha. He was named as employee of the year last year to honour his sterling achievements. They even built a bridge above his desk as token of his status.

Examples of his fine work can also be found over on the RCC forum, but that doesn't really count, as trolling RCC members is akin shooting large fish in a small barrel.

What's happened to the Archive Sale?

SOLD!

Nearly all the stock was gone, so I imagine it got pulled because they'd sold nearly everything.

Seemed pretty clear that it wasn't going to be a permanent thing, it was kind of a post-sale sale.
