da fuck is that fizik saddle?

Volta

even done the packaging!

Pity they only have 30.9

Whats the actual weight?
360g/330g or 259g?

27.2 mm = 360g ± 1g
30.9 mm = 330g ± 1g

The pictures are somewhat irritating

Any up to date Rapha jersey links? any feedback on fit etc?

Just don't

These days, Rapha stuff is so 'understated' that you could just buy a plain black jersey and people would not notice the difference while you are riding.
You just lose points at the coffee stop...

EDIT: I am referring to the sleek look, no mad graphics or massive writing/logos.

not all

my coral brevet jersey screams in the darkness

Actually the latest Rapha range is pretty 'lairy' by Rapha standards:

That's what I'm after just a plain -ish jersey not covered in nonsense.. I had seen these ones.. which I suppose are a Rapha take..

Thinking about getting these to vajazzle my mtb. Mostly due to looks but also they can't be worse than my standard Avid discs can they? Also I need the Avids for a pub bike.

In black obvs. If not can anyone recommend some basic rotors.

@Vince here you go mate, my cheap(ish) Chinese crabon finally built to workhorse bike.

The rims turned out to absolutely stunning and from my mechanic who built them he said they're right up there with some of the nice carbon he has used to build with.

So far they're one of the nicest and comfortable wheels I have ridden to work.

FTI: 55mm U shaped carbon, laced with cx-rays to surely fixed disc hubs.

55mm carbon on a commuting bike!?

Goes with the skinsuits I guess.

What the fuck is that about?

For the KOM's (lack of more specifically)

All about looking fast than actually going fast my dear boy.

These look great!
Very U-y in comparison to the last V shape ones I purchased.
Good to hear they ride nicely too.
