Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Werewolves make Lycra

New shoe range on the way? Not much in the way of sizes on line and a load have turned up with the eBay seller treasures4u

Yeahhh I'd be keen for some of the cyclocross shoes and a new pair of climbers shoes at some not too distant future point.

Just ordered a pair of the indigo jeans form their sale section.
Fed up of busting through the crotch on cheapy Asos jeans.
Hopefully the Raphas will last a bit longer.

Come on Rapha bring back Coral. I like to be seen at dusk and hi vis pink just antagonises motorists round my way.

^ That's a funny thing to say.

Well a certain type I should say, boy racer/white van man. Several incidents, so I gave it up in the end. Anyway, Coral plzzzz!

Anyone got the flyweight glasses (older model) half price on that site we're not allowed talk about.

Hi Guys, I hope you are well I spoke to Velocio who said I could post a survey on here for my university dissertation.

It is about Rapha so thought this would be the best place to come, thanks in advance for your help if you have a spare minute it should not take more than 2 minutes:

What's the subject of your dissertation?

Hi Señor_Bear, thanks for your reply, it is looking into the response of customers to seeing brands they have bought from or know of being acquired

Camden Town Brewery is an example of where some consumers were left almost feeling betrayed when Camden was acquired by AB inBev - this is the area I want to gather data from customers and to see how Rapha have handled their recent acquisition in the eyes of customers and cyclists,

Thanks Señor_Bear,

Best,

Paddy

Yes, what course requires you to write a dissertation about private equity type buyouts? - You should state your subject matter.

Hi Arvy,

Thanks for the feedback,

For sure it is a Business and Enterprise Degree,

I've interviewed Rapha employees and now looking to understand if there is coherence between their viewpoint and that of Rapha consumers,

Thanks Arvy

PDM, thanks, and your disseratation will be read by your college/university and them alone?

If so - best to put 'thanks for your feedback, your name, course, institution' as the results page after you people have completed it, rather than 'Rapha Racing Ltd' which implies it is for Wapha.

Hi Arvy,

Thanks for filling the form out really helps a lot and thank you for the feedback - amendments to be made now,

Cheers,

Paddy

They don’t teach at uni anymore how you get Rapha buyers to tell you about Rapha without them knowing that’s what interests you?

Hi fussballclub - thanks for the feedback - that is a more succinct way of saying it!

Thanks for those who have filled it out already :)

That sounds genuinely interesting. I’ll fill it in later if I can be arsed. Will I get some of your uni credits to bump me up to a 2:1?

I don’t care - that’s what I put on my CV anyway.

Aha great minds think alike %~}

Hi Guys,

thanks for those who have replied so far really helping with the research, getting really helpful insights - if anyone wants to receive the results of the research please send me a message with your email and I will share my findings once I've submitted my dissertation.

Hope everyone is enjoying this scorching weather,

Best,

Paddy

Rapha mesh, lightweight jersey and bibs are a total win.
However sleeves are longer than most of my T shirts so have epic crisp tan lines

Mrs ceepeebee just brought home the Aldi catalogue for next week, there’s some base layers in there that seem... familiar-ish....

That's Brexit Rapha

No way, that's Marcel Kittel!

I cant see the ctc going apeshit for these.
