Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

For me, the Castelli fits nicely and the Rapha aerosuit doesn't - it's too baggy in the midriff and seat, and too tight on the shoulders and leg grippers. But YMMV.

For me the medium Rapha aero suit is closest to fitting, I could use a bit more room for my shoulders, and maybe a little less room for midriff, and possibly the body being slightly longer.

I suspect I'd be large in Castelli looking at the sizing on their site. Is there anywhere in London I could try one on?

Anyone bought the cotton shorts?

Also if there's a code floating around.... please thank you!

Whoo, we're rapha famous. Who wants me to polish their bike?

I'd like a wipe down and lube pls

I'll fit you in next week.

amazing

That's in Exeter I think. If not, there's another deliveroo guy with Team sky all the things.

I like his bike choice for the full sky wanker look

There was a deliveroo guy in the workshop asking about getting a spinergy to go with his 80mm deep rear wheel.

My long-sleeved CX jersey got its annual outing last weekend going to Dunwich. A bit extravagant but it's totally perfect for it and makes me happy. It's the first version I think, with diagonal coloured 'sash' which is my favourite, style-wise, by a long way.

… one way to make your Pinarello tax-deductible.

canyon x sram jersey will have to go back, it is way too short sadly.

If anyone else is considering buying I'm 5'6" and the xs was a couple of inches too short

Is there a sale in August? I've got a birthday gift voucher, and just wondering whether I should wait to spend.

Cannot imagine that there will not be. There's been an end of season sale for as long as I can recall.

Quite like the look of this:

IV? The Clinic are going to have a field day with that!

4 x le tour wins as Rapha/Team Sky. What's the problem?

IV is common shorthand for Intravenous - which would be the manner in which rEPO and most other forms of blood doping are administered....

One would hope anyone working in a clinic might have heard of Roman numerals.

This http://forum.cyclingnews.com/viewforum.php?f=20 was the "clinic" I was reffering to, so it's probably debatable...

It appears subcut is just as good as IV, and a lot less hassle.

Slightly different 'patient' group in the study above.

Once you see it, the number 4 is lost forever...

As a celebration of their success, we will soon be releasing the Team Sky IV collection, a range of products in the black and yellow worn by race winner Chris Froome on the final day of the Tour.

well that just came in the mail

IV collection it is then

I tried a M canyon/sram on in store and it was also too short my my lanky frame. Will keep fingers crossed for the sale and get a training jersey instead.
