Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Can international orders be placed from the UK? There's an older item I'd like that's only in stock in the Aus/Asia store.

Otherwise, if anyone on here can help/has one for sale it's the city pack jacket in black i'm looking for in Medium.

My touring shorts have gone hairy! Had just under a years use

Just had my first ride in my Climbers Shoes and they're bloody excellent! My only gripe though is that I had to put fit down on a few gravelly surfaces and the paint is really badly scratched already... after only one ride! Has anyone found a good touch up paint for the pink?

Hi Jimmy, I'm afraid not but I can help to order as I'm currently in Hong Kong.

What's the current equivalent to the previous Rapha Climbers Jersey, Flyweight?

Just lived in my climbers for a week during LEL and it was ace, possibly my favourite ever jersey so I want another one.

Nope, did this on my first trip with them (Tenerife's volcanic rock is harsh and scratchy). I just embraced it, makes you look 'ard and manly or some shit.

Repair service is nice. Gripper started coming undone on some Classic bibs, so sent them off. The sale had just started, thought the turnaround would be bad, but they came back within two weeks with a musette and nice handwritten note.

Bicester outlet .. when?

Bought this merino jumper last week (am wearing it now, is lovely) for £65 in the sale & now the exact same item is £90 (still in the sale), seems a bit dodgy.

You're looking at Euro prices

OMFG

dodgy AF .. I demand to see your tax returns

You under paid, you need to send them an extra £25 before they the bailiffs turn up. I can deal with it for you if you send the money to me.

Ah yes, I am a numpty. Work VPN getting the best of me!

Well

It's over everyone. Fin.

Presumably they'll soon adopt Walmart's "pile 'em high, sell 'em cheap" approach at Rapha.

I hope not Walmart's employment practices, for the sake of those working there.

Why would you buy a premium brand then take it down market, unless you were Mike Ashley and paying peanuts for a failed brand?

Sky News has learnt that RZC Investments - set up by Steuart and Tom Walton

what kind of moron names their son Steuart?

You're angry because your parents couldn't spell Stuart?

Seriously though I would hope they understand that it's a premium brand, that was just a Walmart pop. Still, not sure it will end well as they look to 'extract more value'.

Do you want the bad news? Both Steuart and Tom are keen mountain bikers.

The Walton family aren't exactly short of money.

The big question is, how much can I sell my OG old school Rapha collection for?

Excited for the SS 18 Rapha Tailored Downhill and Freeride collection.
