Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Am I still trendy? Are these any good?

You’re right but I seem to remember that for Black Friday sales last year they did the same so they may come back.

In my experience the pockets on Rapha jeans are inadequately reinforced and give way rather quickly, which means they're junk unless you don't carry things in your pocketses. Whether they're trendy or not, I'm not qualified to say.

Probably a bit late now but I nabbed one last week: actually more waterproof than claimed (coped pretty well in constantly light rain on my 45 minute ride home yesterday), slightly sweaty, but I had a stupid jersey on given the temperature. Not too bad at all though. Packs down pretty small.

I’ll never find out because they are unable to fulfill the order.

Going down the drain etc

Wonder if these guys have a cycling range

Sounds like the EC1 rebrand has taken place quite quickly.

cant wait to queue for the Rapha drop

I have bots available for very reasonable rates

I think Rapha are heading the other way in the market. Wiggle, SportsPursuit and eBay.

And bike24, got some nice offers there too last week.

Likewise.

There is something about the material used in the collar of the pro team aero jersey that is generating a foul stench akin to to a dog's bed. Very bizarre. Rest of the jersey is completely odor free. It's not my beastly DNA as far as I can tell, as I've never had this issue with anything else.

Insulated brevet gilet coming up larger than expected. I have pink in 'M' for swaps to size 'S'...

I'm finding that moths really really love eating big fuckoff chunks out of my Rapha merino baselayers.

Should definitely be covered by repair service given how crash averse I am.

Kidding. Ish.

Strange, I found it comes up quite small. One of us has must have unrealistic expectations!

I'd read pretty much everywhere that it comes up small, hence my choice for M. Maybe I need to actually measure myself, though.

Had this recently, it is a pisser..

A bit late...

I think the insulated jacket comes up small, but the gilet has more stretch and more true to size.

Every Rapha item I have has been mothballed, gloves, buffs, jerseys, socks. Transfer trousers. #Everycuntingthing and yes my Coppi track pants. FFS

Mothballs?
Y u no cedar blocks and cedar oil?

I spend more money on those than a 3rd world countries GDP, or something.

The romance of lavender imported from Germany no moth.

Just went on to buy the large essentials case for my brother in law for Christmas and it seems to be out of stock, anyone know if they will be back in or if it’s discontinued?
