It could be that they come from different suppliers. It’s difficult to maintain size continuity when products are made in several factories
PhilDAS-
Yeah fair enough - I'm seeing this exclusively from a customer point of view. The thing is, even with different suppliers and different sizes etc., it'd be nice if they provided more accurate sizing guides for the different existing ranges, rather than just the one. Basically transparency in their inconsistency...

Yeah I don't know, their sizing continues to annoy and frustrate me. Especially as they don't provide actual measurements of the different ranges, you're left to guess what size you might be in one or the other with not that much to go on apart from what has fit you previously - until they change the cut and it's all wrong again.
For example, as you describe, the 'pro team' stuff isn't just a racing cut and therefore skin-tight, it's just an undetermined amount smaller all-round. I don't get how anyone thought doing such an intransparent mix of sizes in their ranges was a good idea. But then, it's not exactly exclusive to Rapha, I'm having some such issues with other brands as well.
