Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

RCC only version already available.

I think there's still some in the online archive sale

PT should be form fitting, try them on first if you're going to bricks and mortar. I've found PT baselayers to be more true to size than the merino baselayers. Too large and you'll get unsightly bunching under your jersey/bibs.

The code works on the Core Bundles FYI.

Core is insane good for cash.

but doesent fit me :(

between sizes ..

I'm not sure I'm 'getting on' with my Core bibs. Might have to flip them, I've done long rides and get discomfort or a bit of numbness with the pad I don't get with any of my other rapha or non-rapha bibs. They were a birthday present, too :(

Weird. I wear mine more than my PT.

Size?

Bought a pair of PT Winter tights in the Brum Sample Sale last year – after only 5/6 rides (I only recently got around to using them) the chamois stitching has come away completely in several places, and the crotch has (weirdly) started slipping down during rides. They were perfect in every way, but no longer. Is it worth me emailing Rapha and pleading for a repair/exchange?

Only washed them on delicates, Woolite, hung to dry – same treatment I've given all my other rapha gear. Much sad, very baggy, so crotch.

+1 Core bibs fit me perfect but will shift the jersey, too baggy in the body for me. Sharp look in Core Bibs + PT jersey (in black so not to highlight man-tits)

Agreed, core jerseys seem to be cut a little roomier. I found that a size down fitted me better than my normal size.

I'm an xs. Tried the small and it was bunchy. Get on well with my second-hand PT ones, I can't seem to get the pad in the right position though or something, I dunno. It is strange @croft, don't quite get why they aren't sitting right. Quality is good though, and everyone around Regents Park seems very impressed that I'm wearing Rapha.

You can't get sample sale purchases exchanged.

Haha 'shit fixie skidders say...' >>>>>>>>>>>>

I assumed as much, but I recalled forum peoples mentioning that Rapha had been super nice even with sample sale product faults – hence the askings.

No Kilver Court for me. Stuck in a traffic jam on the M6 for 5 hours yesterday.

My glove woes continue...

I bought a pair of Pro Team Mitts in XL hoping that the lack of fingers would help them fit my ridiculously sized hands. Alas, this is not the case. I'm not going to bother returning them so does anyone want a free pair of unworn Pro Team Mitts same as below. Those with small hands need not apply; I'm not looking for someone to make a quick buck off my misfortune.

Any hints on whether the pro team lightweight wind jacket might make a re-appearance? It was hands down my favourite bit of rapha kit and it got shredded in a freak back tyre incident this afternoon. Nothing on the site seems similar at the moment.

You could try their repair service.

Saw one at the Archive store the other week. Ring them up and check if they still have any.

It's totally fecked. Melted together 😩

They will exchange the damaged panels. They will repair.

Rapha must've just taken on someone to run their Youtube channel, constant updates of old 'films' in the last few days??

Narrating on this one.. :/

I'd take these off your, ahem, hands. Not around until next week though.
