Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

anyone 'in the know' know when the repair service will resume?

Even nicer in the flesh tbh

The explore version looks nice, shame about the speedholes.
Branding on the lens could have been better.

Nice chair! Any chance of a full shot please?

Bad photo as it’s 7am and it’s not sunny outside yet but here you go. Plycraft Lounge Chair from the mid 70s. The poor mans Eames Lounge... one day... Not my favourite chair, aesthetically, but it’s certainly my comfiest.

Is this the first time Rapha have done their own lenses? (i.e the ROSE tech)

Correct.

Rapha Condor JLT frameset for sale here

Interesting.

Anyone seen the Explore glasses yet?

The explorer is pretty good IMO. I do like the string attached/plugged to the back of the glasses.

Its a shame they couldn't get something a bit more high-tech than a roll of old camera film for the lenses though

Function over form.

@branwen ha, looks like some good 120 though

I've tried them on, they looked ridiculous on me but they do come with two nose pieces so that you can adjust your fit slightly. They look good on Ho here. Was surprised when his face came through on all the fit guide assets.

I ended up getting the PT Full frames.

Handsome model at least

Don't encourage him.

I'm not in the know about anything, but I emailed about an existing repair that I had procrastinated over sending in to check the ticket was still active etc and they got straight back to say repairs are still going, but that there's a new address to send to. Have you tried emailing repairs@rapha.cc ?

Much wanting. Think they're all nice.

I don't think you've aged in the almost ten years I've known you.

It's CGI. Like when they did 80s Arnie in the 2015 Terminator

Is this like that "hang out there enough and eventually they'll start paying you" theory?

Uh I've found that it's the reverse.

Work there long enough and they stop paying you?

lol

whoever cocked up the reflections in this picture needs to take a studio lighting 101 class

Better?
