Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Proteam aerosuit is the business.

My favourite fact is that you can get stuff in and out of the pockets without snapping your wrist.

I really want one of these.

I cant for the life of me think of a justification.

Had the New Shorter legged PT bibs With pink logo, and that offensive pink fade aero jersey in my basket last night. A click away from poverty again.....

Not unless I can sell stuff first. And then it would be the separates. I have a short sleeved tri suit for onsie-ing. The sides are see through mesh the Whole way Down. So it feels like youre out riding in Liz Hurley's dinner dress....which is Nice.

I dont actually have a pair of standard bib shorts that I like. My both my medium lightweight rapha, and my medium Jaggard feel a smidge too big.

The depressing thing is, that I rarely need anything other than the 2 pairs of PT thermal bibs I own.

Need a new spring jersey but struggling to find anything that does it for me, Rapha or otherwise.
New Classic Jersey looks ok, but how non race fit is it?

It is very different from the old one, much thinner and a closer fit, true to size. I have a small in the original and a medium was a good fit in the new one.

Also "need" something for riding in Calpe next month.
As I like to wear a baselayer, was wondering if the Classic MK2 in "RPM150" would be too warm.
Maybe should just go with super lightweight with a base and gilet.

Mine is for a little riding trip to Yorkshire at the end of April. Clearly a Lightweight Jersey isn't going to suit, it's going to be at least arm + leg warmer weather.

The thermal Aerosuit or the short Aerosuit?

^^Yorkshire in April>>>>>>Gabba

The real aerosuit. Not the onsie pyjamas.

Good - got my eye on one of these - actually "good value" at £230 (compared to the individual prices of bibs and jersey)

Need to go and try one on to see if they fit me.

The short aerosuit is nice (and warm with baselayer+sleeves).

I'd love the thermal one if it came in any other than roadkill colour (broken record).

maybe a Coral coloured thermal suit........

Ironically, the only jerseys I have left is SS & LS Gabba. Potentially, I'm taking the SS with me. I think it will be too warm for LS by the end of April.

My quandary is that I'm going to need more than one jersey for a weeks worth of riding. I don't want to risk stuff not being dry the next morning if it's washed as soon as we get back to our accommodation.

Ha!

Yorkshire in april - you'll need a rain jacket and a gabba. Just take another jersey to wear under the jacket.

I should buy a boat brevet jersey and matching gilet

what would Kanye do?

Ask for more money.

pink core jersey is confusing. looks almost pastel in the non-model shots but neon in the modelled shots... so which is it?

It's bright. Hi Vis Pink.

I like bright pink, what's the fit like? I don't like bagginess.

I've seen one person wearing that thermal onesie thing and it looked awful, like an ill fitting wetsuit.

Classic softshell appears to have been quietly discontinued... As have the jeans. Does Rapha repair discontinued lines?
