Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

I'm so happy to see people having a play with this, I've been working on it for the best part of 18 months. I'm kinda surprised to see how many people are using the built-in fonts as I was sure it would be more about uploaded logos.

@XJimX I don't think caps are in yet but I would imagine they will be added before too long

Good work, it's the slickest thing on the Rapha website since the re-design.

Thank you. I'm really pleased with how it's come out and looking forward to the first swearword someone finds that we failed to filter.

Did you have to brainstorm a list of swearwords or is there an off the shelf package you can use?

Does it include foreign swearwords? Asking for an amico.

i went on to design a kit for BAME CC and a white guy modelled the kit .. wtf?!

I have looked in the past for an off the shelf solution but they were all a bit disappointing. Having a custom list means we can also filter out stuff like brand names or any other undesirable text.

Haha, I got as far as typing Cü before it was on to me and told me to cut it out...

Impressive...

Scunthorpe CC are having difficulties apparently.

If you separate the letters with a single space though you can get things through

Oof, me back's playing up

Remind me, does the race repair service apply if you buy Rapha online from Wiggle? Or is it only if you buy from their own website or a clubhouse?

direct purchases only

I've been reasonably happy with mine.

The model is giving me a real 'uncanny valley' feel and reminds me of those fictional celebrities generated by algorithm.

Can any Rapha insider confirm if this is a real person?

Edit: now I'm wondering if part of the uncanny valley effect is because bits of the face kind of look like mine.

Cheers - I'd seen some cheap sale stuff on Wiggle, but will give it a miss in that case. It's not so worth it if they won't then repair it in case of a crash.

Do you crash a lot?

Yeah, as often as I can
