Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Exactly!

agreed. i have neoprene endura, and are my go to gloves when its going to be a long ride and very wet, windy but not too cold - you get excellent feel on your fingers and remain nice and warm.

Talking of gloves. The deep winter are so warm. Never used anything that warm. 4h at -4 and warm fingers. I couldn’t use them if temps much above 0.

man I envy your hands .. I use a liner in my deep winter at 1-3 deg and still my hands get cold :(

Rapha having some despatch problems? Ordered last Chewsday, RM tracking still says "We're expecting it"

Cycle faster lazy! Keep your core warm.

I had this but then it just turned up - so went from "we're expecting it" to "delivered" with no steps in between. Not the most useful tracker.

Wore Brevet gloves this morning for a short training ride. Started off being concerned that they weren't going to be warm enough, but quickly felt comfortable and didn't get too hot either. Will have to see how they perform in the rain.

Much more likely to be Royal Mail having issues than Rapha.

All the carrier networks are struggling under the load of Jan sales this year. BF was a similar cluster.

Latest package from Wiggle delivered Friday had nil/null/zilch of the usual emails from Royal Mail tracking service.

I've had my UPS, DPD and the post.

And I opened the building door for DHL man.

Buyer!

Yeah, its not like i intend on claiming back the postage i've not paid

Not sure I’ve seen this mentioned.

@cornelius_blackfoot do you happen to know roughly how much any of the shorts or tights were at the outlet? I desperately need some new bottoms but can’t really be paying £150 at the moment

DHB it

I have cheap, I’d like quality

Sorry can’t really tell you, wasn’t looking at bibs as I’ve already got plenty and they didn’t have the winter ones I wanted.

In a similar boat might go Wednesday so could let you know if I’m going.

Or Sign up for the news letter... helps a bit more.

I’m on the newsletter already, not a first time buyer haha
If you see any, I’d appreciate a heads up
Might be able to make it out at the weekend

Open a new email account. And sign up with it.

i have normal Rapha winter gloves but would like something a bit lighter / less bulky. I always end up taking these on / off several times on a ride to regulate temp.

is there a glove that's less bulky / lighter i could try that maybe stops me having to take them on / off all the time?

Btwin do a nice range of completely legit gloves, though prob good to go instore as they run fairly small.

Why would Rapha make vouchers that can only be redeemed in store? :(
