Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Half price coffee, half price membership. The vast majority of members don’t use the bike hire so it is better now for a lot of people.

it's the gym membership logic. as many members as possible, as soon as possible, most of whom won't use the facilities.

I want to know if iced coffee is now covered. These are the issues of the day.

All those office workers in soho will no longer be members, the number of people who were just in it for the free coffee was ridiculous.

It's nicknamed the Rapha Coffee Club for a reason. The number of people who frequented the San Francisco store when I was out there for work who clearly had never ridden a bike in their lives was quite hilarious.

This shits me big time.

I don't care about the half price coffee thing - Rapha had created a beast with the free coffee offer and clearly needed to wind back the offer to stop losing money. I found I was just drinking coffee because it was free, not because I even wanted the coffee.

But to charge that much for bike hire irritates me. I would honestly rather pay a small premium and hire through a local bike shop than hire a bike that Rapha gets for free and never services properly.

I'd love to see where you can rent a new Canyon with etap for £35

a bike that Rapha gets for free

That would be nice

Quite. It's insanely competitive for bike rental in major cities around the world for a bike of that spec.

But last time my friend received it without the batteries. Not joking

never services properly

The Manchester ones are well looked after.

What's the Letraset for?

Na. Shit mechanic.

😭

TBF they're all new and hardly ridden in Manchester now, I think the XL hasn't gone out at all.

Tell me I can still get the RCC jersey unlock code for my Zwift avatar.

Single speed for lyfe

Also, I hope someone reclassifies all the RCC packages out of the 'men's products' section before social media gets hold of it:

Awful isn't it. 10 years and it's just last years design minus two colours.

Can someone do a meme about Rapha saying they are going to wind back discounts whilst eying up Black Friday. Ta.

Possibly involving a young man and his partner and another young woman with whom the young man is clearly attracted to whilst his partner looks on in horror, but I don’t want to be too prescriptive.

Sales is in store already up to 30% off. Online from Wednesday.

I charge £50 per day to rent Genesis Eqilibriums with 105, and £65 for a Zero with Ultegra.
They will be barely covering costs at £35 a day.

Much normal sizes left of sale stuff after RCC members get 1st dibs?

I would imagine so. Apart from the Cargo bib tights, it's a pretty uninspiring selection. Lots of those national jerseys, and items in the colourways that were always destined to be plentiful in the sales, like that flesh toned race cape.

Flesh comes in more than one tone.

You're only asking people to be really original here and inventing a group of memes that doesn't even exist yet. Not a chance of it happening.
