Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Ordered a Brevet insulated gilet on Thursday. Was showing stock in a bunch of sizes.

Today: "we're sorry but we sold out lol"

I crai every teim

This does not bode well for the sale orders I placed! I've not heard anything yet, though

is RCC branded Ranger Rover releasing soon?

Last week it was Laura Scott shilling Skodas. These car brands are desperate to convey some sort of symbiotic relationship between cycle adventuring and the need to "push a whip".

I suppose the trains are shit.

They sent 50 brand new Range Rovers to the office. We basically got one each.

Love a bit of sibilance.

drive it up and down from crol & co to the victoria pub, you will get lots of business from me alone!

Ordered one on Thursday as well and it hasn't been shipped yet, order status is still "In process".

Fingers crossed

Literally just got the dispatch notification on one of the orders I placed with an insulated brevet gilet in it. Fingers crossed the other goes through.

I've just got an email that it's out of stock and i'll be refunded within next couple of days yada yada.

Absolutely devastating, heartbreaking experience!

What size and colour did you want? If navy XS I'll happily sell you what I paid for mine in the sale. My second one was just dispatched, so otherwise I'll be sending it back for a return (long story, don't ask!)

Hey thanks for North Face 'bar bag' tip. I look forward to being able to check my reflection midride in the onboard mirror, before committing to selfies

Thank you for your kindness but I needed either M or L.

dabbing? in 2019?

This is true. Known the ms of the company who makes these for a while, sustainability is key for them. There are compostable pods but they suffer from the same issues as compostable cups.

It can be a faff, but the coffee composts easily and the capsule recycles endlessly like coke cans and food tins

anyone got a M or L merino mesh long sleeve they would part with? Good condition init

ULEZ is going to kill ice cream vans, it's really sad.

Bringing this thread back on topic (complaining about the price of Rapha): I want to embrace the tie dye trend while supporting everyone's favourite team with slightly edgy marketing by buying an EF Education First T shirt. But they're £55! I've never spent nearly £60 on a t shirt in my life.

Apparently it's 'technical'. I did try to buy a cap but all the clubhouses are sold out and (obviously) I resent paying for P&P and think Rapha should pay for it.

The standard tech t's look much nicer, wide colour range and you won't regret it in a couple of weeks. Other than the obvious thing of shelling 55 nicker out for a polyester shirt which is the melancholy that comes as standard in this thread anyway and you can probably deal with that.
