Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Favourite bibs of all time are easily PT, especially for the long leg. I am quite lanky and have long legs, most bib shorts tend to have a short length leg which makes for the lycra hotpants look.

Trouble is - nice, but pricey: recently got a new pair when they had their shorts offer on. But looking for another pair for shorter training rides. Not necessarily Rapha but plain-looking shorts with a similarly long leg. Not more than 80 quid or so - any ideas?

Capitalism hey

From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs -
Core, Classic or Pro Team.

The last capitalist we hang shall be the
one who sold us the Core bibs that ran see-through and displayed our
arse-cheeks.

The history of all previous societies has been the history of class
struggles.

Ah yes. Didn’t have that option on mobile. All sorted now. Cheers

The problem with cheap shorts is that everyone sees your means of production. Or reproduction.

And from all different Engels...

And any skid Marx.

Does anyone know if or when thoes natty little pro team back packs are coming back?

Madison road race apex are my new favourite bib, long in leg, good pad, decent enough quality. Worth giving them a try, regularly on sale.

Rahpha, low price but a bit dicey.

Rahpha

Sounds like its pronounced Rah-fa and marketed at posh public school boys.

And now there's this rip off Chinese version.

Anyone else been following this?

Any Rapha insiders got an idea of when the repair service will start up again?

Fuck.

Reckon this'd fetch at least £1? Especially if I clean the dust off.

Put it on with a straw/teaspoon through a CK top cap for £100 starting bid?

It’s almost worth converting a few headsets at this price, you make the tamper and I’ll attach the headsets?

I have a Rapha spoon from the Portland office. £50 and it's yours.

HaHa I’ve got the top caps.
£353 atm, though is taking the P. I bet it’ll go for more?

Anybody got one of these they want to get rid of? Friend wants to get back into cycling for their commute and wants to go full hi-vis! They're liking Rapha, but don't want anything black!

What kind of discount can one expet participating in the "industry purchase program"?

industry purchase program

Fuck I didn’t know that was a thing. I’ve spent $£¥€ with Rapha this spring

I feel you. It's 20% off, apparently. (Thanks, Jon)

I have a high-viz pink rain cover I could dig out, or is it a backpack they’re after?

all of the backpacks come with a hi viz pink cover.
