Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Yes, apart from Base (rate) layers

A sale to an EU based entity would get round the incoming Brexit issues that they'll face as a UK headquartered company selling globally.

Probably will be a Chinese buyer.

It's going to be interesting seeing who it is, for example Fizik bought Brooks back in 2002 and that appears to have been a success.

I think a lot depends on whether it goes to a player in the cycling space or a fashion/luxury company. I can't think of a UK company that'd buy them, but I can think of a number of European/American ones who might.

Does anyone know the price? We could crowdfund a purchase and do a Rapha x Puke on Cock collab.

Think of a big UK Sports retailer,
recently bought into UK fashion
and
supposedly about to expand Stateside?

How better to celebrate his Newcastle team rejoining the Premier League than adding Rapha to his Sports Direct stable of brands?

I wear a size small in classic bib shorts but probably fall between S/M. Looking to get a pair of pro teams, should I size up or stick with small?

Stick with small. Pro Teams are stretchy. Plenty elastane.

I suggested that earlier in this thread as it happens, it would be funny.

Apologies,
I didn't see your suggestion,
as I seldom post on this thread,
as I do not regard myself as a Rapha-type.

That's a crap Haiku.

Innit

I'll have you know I've been compared to Seamus Heaney on another thread!

Nice one, thanks mate.

The cultural standard clearly isn't as high in this thread.

Sorry,
no time to post,
I'm looking for iambic pentameters.

Anyone got info on when the insulated gilet might be restocked in the nice colour way (black) in sensible sizes?

Just popped into Spitalfields store to get cap and socks. Was served by Dan who is just one of the nicest most helpful people. #csb

Anyone know when the 25% off survey code expires?
