Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Inconsistent typo is unusual.
Both train and chain occur.
Uh oh. Who proof read this!

Yeah, i didn't notice before that in the Classic tier, they clean the drive chain and then they clean the drive train. That's thorough.

Who proof read this!

It does make you wonder who proofread it. :)

Picked up a pair of Randonee Shorts and threw in a pair of merino arm warmers for free shipping #buyer #csb

I'll throw it in the bin tomorrow.

First use of Touring Shorts this morning, loverly, almost not there they were so comfy and added an average of 7kph to my speed

Officially they give 15w at 30kph

are you sure they were there? Riding sans vêtements is very good for reducing your average speed (ahem)... so I hear...

I bloody hope so, ran out of boxers today so had to wear one of Mrs U g-straps

Following on from my double-weave trouser query some time ago - I bought them, they are nice, I can see myself wearing them for work quite a lot. I wore them to a job interview (cycled there in the rain). I wore them to a party. All good. They are a neat, soft grey that shows marks easily, which means I have to be careful to be less mucky than usual. I didn't size down, though that may be a result of my waist sizing up.

Does anyone know when the sale is going to end?

Finally succumb to the sale, Randonnee shorts and a couple of pairs of brevet socks.

I think i'll get more wear out of the black randonne shorts than I have out of those dreadful purple one's I bought last year.

It's going on for a while yet. We just added more lines from past seasons at good prices.

Yeah, I saw some cheap old stock appear last night!

Argh, Rapha long sleeve jersey snatched from my basket, too slow!

Okay, getting tempted by the Classic glasses. I'd go into the shop to try them on as they look like they might be a bit too Dame Edna on me. But other questions:

• I have approx -5.75 prescription, I always go for a medium-high index lens, I don't like the thinnest, highest index one. Will the frames tolerate a thick-ish lens?
  
• are they noticeably wrap around, or do they work as normal every day glasses? Not sure at the moment whether I'd want for my normal clear pair, or to acquire my first ever pair of shades. The obvious answer is one of each, I know.
  
  

Stupid question maybe but are there any issues with wearing shades such as changing light conditions, going inside etc, bearing in mind I can't just take them off and see normally. I imagine I'd always carry regular glasses too, but it'd be a totally new thing for me.

I use them daily now. They are amazing. Shape wise depends on what you like and shape of your face. Personally I need a 17mm bridge and they are spot on.

Frames will tolerate those lenses I reckon, I used this website to get them glazed: http://www.ciliaryblue.com/

The wrap around shape is just perfect IMO, they dont look like cycling glasses at all but work amazingly well on the bike compared to anything out there. Glazing is cheap (I guess) so you can try.

You are welcome to try/have a look.

Yeah I'd really like glasses that work on the bike... Definitely need to try for the shape and all. Is glazing cheap?! I've never had it done online, it's always seemed bloody expensive to me. I have fairly strong astigmatism and getting top notch eye testing and lenses really makes noticeable difference.

Put your quote in that site and see what it gives .. mine is straight forward -2.5 each eye, I think for their best lens it was about £30 for me.

Got my PT Aero jersey, it smells unbelievably fruity.

Would it be prudent to wait for further price drops and a discount code in the sale? Wanting some PT Lightweight bibs

i kind of doubt there will be discount codes that work together with the sale

as for the waiting.. depends on what you want and your size (anything in black/gray in medium to large will sell quicker)

Buy it now, buy it again if price drops. Return first order within 90 days. Simple :)

Missed out on the coral PT mitts in M cos i was faffing.

If anyone bought a pair which they then don't want, let me know.
