Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

No more Team Sky stuff on the website, will we see a final clearance sale?

Nope - been and gone.

Sky's new clothing sponsor is Ellesse I believe.

Sure it's not Sergio Tachini?

£65 in sale within the month?
No fools gonna pay dat

Castelli are meant to be replacing Rapha.

FILA .....

launch is at 19.30 via facebook live today for new T*** S** kit...

Wow it's bad

No Rapha Supercross in the U.K. this season?

New reflective backpack looks sweet. But 15 litres makes it too small for me to use for commuting...

XS insulated brevet gilet goes out of stock just as dad is about to order it for my bday. :'(''''

I panic-bought a winter collar as I was on my way to the station to go riding somewhere cold, and was sceptical. OMFG the thing is made of gossamer and unicorn jizz. Don't notice it round your neck other than feeling comfortable. Pull it up round your chops and it magically lets your breath out while not letting the biting headwind in. Elastication is just right so it doesn't move no matter where you put it on your head.

unicorn jizz ...
... pull it up round your chops

gross

I was convinced I'd lost mine last winter. Was getting something else out of the winter clothes box today, and there it was. I wept tears of unadulterated joy.

Anyone got winter classic tights? How are they in terms of freedom of movement?

Haha, yes +1 on the winter collar, almost up there with the merino knee warmers, ridiculously luxury items but in a David Ginola 'worth it' bracket.

Good, but not as good as Assos tights. Whenever I leave the house in winter wearing Assos tights I feel a bit naughty, as it feels like I've got nothing on my lower half, they're that comfortable. Rapha comes a close second but for winter tights, Assos all the way.

rapha deep winters are the best pair of winter bibs ive ever tried

Is the Rapha Castelli swap at Team Sky just business as usual or did Rapha smell a rat with this TUE situation and jump ship?

conspiracy theory thread

Simon Mottram relaxing at home yesterday.

This TUE situation where BC, UKADA, the UCI and WADA have all said it is within the rules?

Rapha conducted a marketing survey a while back asking what the perception was of their Sky relationship, Canyon SRAM surfaced shortly after and looks like the relationship ended there.
