Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

I've been told this about the Lightweight ones too, which kinda makes sense, but not too flattering. I don't think my girlfriend appreciated having to stare into my bumcrack.

Depends on size and fit. Mine were fine.

White bibs seem to be weirdly popular amongst teams up here. You literally see the hairs on their arses.

.....Not that I wheelsuck.
.....Or stare at mens arses.

I don't agree with all of the silly Velominati rules But the one that says Bibs should be black, and in good nick is one that I agree on.
White bibs are just asking for trouble, and much disgust from all those around (especially from non-cycling folk)

Also I bought some items at the start of the year, and all came from England (I'm in New Zealand), last week I bought some stuff (I tried to buy a PT softshell jacket too, but they were out of stock) To my surprise my other items arrived at my door the next day and had shipped from Hong Kong.. I thought this was great (as I got my stuff so fast) but also got me thinking.. so I go onto the site, and select my location as GB, and find that the PT softshell is instock on the British site. So I type in my British address (Family members) thinking I'm being all sneaky, but the payment section immediately notices that I'm in New Zealand and then tells me the PT softshell is out of stock again.
I swear lots because I get cold in just a LS jersey, and with my Windjacket it's good, but it's not breathable enough on climbs when the sun decides to show, and I can't access my pockets while it's on and I want a damn PT softshell!
So I've emailed my family in England and asked if they'll buy it and I'll send them the money.
Such a PITA to get it though. Especially as the stuff I got back in January all shipped from England.. Is Rapha shipping to New Zealand from HK relatively new?

Since Feb.

What's this Patagonia/Rapha shit I keep seeing on IG?
Legit or someone got nothing better to do in their free time?

rapha @ their fb

Rapha Hi Luke, they have been designed for those from Patagonia taking part in the Etape so are unavailable to buy.

Raphagonia

Sounds painful. Antibiotics?

Nah, it's viral. They wouldn't do any good.

Very good. Must give rep etc...

makes sense, last thing I bought before now was the end of Jan.

These Legends jerseys... coming to a sample sale near you.

I bet they sell out.

These Legends jerseys... coming to a park with the initials "RP" near you.

do rapha repairs / guarantees work on 2nd hand items?

Nope. You need order history or receipt if purchased in-store.

Those 'legend' jerseys are terrible.

Thoughts?

I'm not sure if the word hustle belongs on a jersey.

i think this is rather nice looking

although of course I could live without the words SKY and PINARELLO and maybe the ventoux thingis... in fact without any of the prints. Just the blue shirt with the horizontal lines :-)

They've nailed the tug boat at the top of Ventoux, looks exactly like it...

I'd need a tug boat to get to the top of Ventoux

mind blown

You can keep the boat, but I'd definitely be in the mood for a tug if I ever cycled to the top of Ventoux.

I should buy a tug...
