Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

I never New your mum was such a good photographer!

Tokaido alpha ?

That's the one. Not as sharply priced as I thought, but on par with Rapha so a pretty good alternative. Condor stock pedal Ed so you can have a look first before buying

or buy 3 sizes on wiggle and return them within a year - rapha

try and work it out with hermes

ha

I suggested consumer rights and basically got laughed at. I’ve never had anything like this from Rapha. It was really quite... pathetic?

They've lost their way.

Yeah... it’s a dark day... I guess this is what happens when Asda turns up

Well she only really does holiday photos but if Martin Parr published some of them nobody would bat an eyelid.

(Seriously though, that flash shadow...).

If you end up checking out the new Martin Parr exhibition at Manchester Art gallery you'll see me on the walls somewhere. Finally the recognition I deserve to be honest, another 15 years and I want an upgrade to one of those massive paintings.

Excellent claim to fame

They've lost their way.

Agreed. Customer service is deteriorating rapidly.

It's a bit of a shit photo, I was bloody freezing and kept laughing with these 2 people he had with him, I just look stoned holding a wheel. I've not seen it in its full glory yet though, exhibition only opened last week and I've been too busy or drunk to go.

I never knew your mum

Lies.

It's a bit of a shit photo

Sounds as if it's below Parr.

They've lost their way.

You can suffer more if you lose your way, though, can't you? So all's going according to plan.

Had a look this afternoon as I happened to be passing, the insulation on these is a layer on the inside, rather than held in baffles as with the Endura and most down jackets.

For that reason I think the Endura might last longer, and also packs down to size of a fist. Still haven't decided though.

Good to meet you @amac090 and wore the L this morning and it was spot on.

To donate go to the forum home screen and click on the top right square and you'll see a link pop out.

Good to hear it fits mate, pleasure to meet you as well.

I've made a donation now, cheers. Good idea with the donation, I always forget forums like this have real operating costs so I was happy to contribute.

Think I'm being well thick here but how the fuck do you use the 'stowable tabs on collar' of Rapha jackets?

I lay the jacket flat, fold arms in, fold left and right thirds in, roll up from the bottom so the band is still exposed and then loop it over. The inside part of the loop ends up on the outside.

I had this moment too but I saw a gif on rapha website somewhere

No fancy packaged bill here anymore, this is the end

Tore my commuter jacket a TINY bit on Friday in a little off (as well as my brand new premium denim jeans). Apparently on assessment, both can't be repaired by the repair service. Asked if they can send a pink patch for the jacket so I can bodge it myself for which I have received a 'no-can-do'. Hate to add to the 'it's all going downhill' but expected a little more empathy and extra-mile effort from customer service.

i'm actually glad about that - huge waste of paper
