Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Early season sportive training

Watch that cloud spot at 2pm too. Might impair your visibility and your visibleness to others-wear something reflective like the Brevet gilet and silk echarpe to stop your neck getting chilly, but of course, don't forget your £195 sunglasses (I'd take both the pink and dark lensed ones if you have them)

Sorry are you in my bedroom?

have anyone received the 30% off discount code?

Yeah, me too. Suppose it's cos I haven't ordered in a while.

Good technique to fold overshoes into smallest size possible?

Burn them.

If anyone has a code they're definitely not going to use and fancies slinging it my way that would be SAFE AS FUCK

Thanks. Just bought a pair of socks with it.

Someone wanted my 30% code for a single bidon or some shit. Surely everyone on here can club together for a mega single purchase? Stick it to the Rapha man, yeah. Unfortunately still will be making mad cream out of those fat ass pads

Haha, hopefully someone put that code to reasonably good use...

Did someone really just use that code to save £3 or so? Jesus. Edit: oh, it was a joke. Ya got me.

Anyone got another one? I'd like some PT bibs as last year's summer bibs have got a bit saggy, and meat and two veggy.

You're not wrong. The wool jacket is beautifully made but the sizing is very different from previous city stuff I've bought. Always bought L but this pretty roomy. Going back.

That Cytech/Rapha chamois hasn't compressed or delaminated like every pad from every other bib maker I've had. I've got a pair from about 8 years ago relegated to commuting under shorts or under winter tights only as the lycra is obscene but that pad just keeps on trucking like it was new.

Need a new jacket and bibs. Someone wanting to share their code? Thaaanks

A very long shot but does anyone have a size small aerosuit they'd like to swap for a medium one?

Finally took the plunge with the 25% off base layers and bought myself some legit Wapha. Also decided to get new bibs for the summer. Core vs Classic comparison (IMHO):

Chamois is clearly the same. Seems to be slightly further back in the core than classic. Would not buy core bibs, the grippers were way too flappy at the bottom and poorly cut. In fact I felt the whole finishing aspect of them was a bit sloppy. Aside from the chamois my Morvelo bibs are in every way superior (and the Rapha chamois is really overkill anyway?). Classic bibs however are gold. Love them. Convert.

Merino base layers - where have you been all my life?

I have a few cytech pads showing insane resiliance.

Another pair of high end bibs I own formed a stone hard, pea sized, ball of compressed pad material. I managed to get it out. But it gave a nasty sore. No idea how long it was there.
My castelli bibs seemed to have the pad flatten instantly.

Cytech can be found on loads of brands though. So you dont need to buy rapha. Seems best placed on the PT bibs to me. But my DHB seem pretty good too.

N e 30% codes going with latest comps?
