Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

This looks rather tasty:

Just a shame it's got sleeves.

Not sure if serious .jpg

Got my IBG this morning, didn't realise it was so thin! I thought Polartec Alpha was similar-ish in weight to primaloft.

Its insulation powers will have to be tested riding tomorrow.

Been eyeing up the loopback trousers, does anyone have any experience using them? I'm a 33 waist so should I go for a 32 or a 34?

32, they size up large

The carnage last night was EPIC

Saw some videos of crazy queues on instagram, where was that sample sale at?

Kings cross. Friends and family.

I thought I had found the ultimate score last night when I found a box overflowing with merhino boxers. Some bastard already snagged all the smalls tho!

Was gutted to hear @villa-ru 's bike got nicked!outside the venue. 😕

any word on £750 Open U.P.?

They all sold out man. Simon Mortram is hand delivering them next week. You get a free keyring and a jar full of ltd edition Californian sun gravel with each frame too.

tbf the code @andyp gave me got it down to £1150 which is still fair bit of savings.

It is now impossible to tell if this is satire or not, we live in strange times.

The Jar of gravel is actually meant to be spread out on you garage floor so can check whatever tyres you've selected have a Gnar factor that is compatible with the frame.
It sounds crazy i know, but is actually a really effective system. The Californian sun gravel actually trades hands for a lot of money on the RCC forum. It's the Ltd edition factor that gives it the edge over your standard non sun Pilgrims Way gravel.

The dirt will have to stay on the garage floor until the Rapha/dyson collaboration. A Rapha Bladeless fan to keep you cool while you suffer on your home trainer, the vacuum full of Californian dirt and the empty collectors dirt jar on the counter complete the black and white suffer picture story that accompanies the new collaboration.

Have we had this yet? Louis Vuitton linked with talks to acquire Rapha

Kanye x LV x Rapha climbers shoe incoming.

I get the feeling they would look like the Red Hook London Specialized shoes

absolutely would bang

Anyone here bought the Lightweight transfer jacket? Better than the old transfer?

No extra lines added to sale. :(

Has anyone tried the L/S Core jersey? Wonder if I should just stump up the funds for the L/S Classic instead.

Totally different materials. I actually prefer the core.

Would anyone know what the LS Core jersey is like in the sleeve? I tried on a LS Training Jersey last year and it was way loose around my girly wrists
