Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

I've had this issue many times before and found that with the updated repair service T&Cs (Crash damage only) you pretty much have to take care of it yourself. I got a local tailor to stitch them up.

Heads up: Looks like there's one XS Strickland/Strata Jersey available right now, if anybody's looking...

edit: now gone

Spitalfields Clubhouse is now closed if you were planning to visit them.

Do you know if that's closed for renovations ahead of the Tour, or closed for good?

O interesting didn't know that. Thanks.

It is empty floor now, for good i recon.

Don’t think they renewed the lease. Will there be another or just Soho now?

Anyone who's not using the shoulder strap for their bar bag that would be happy to sell it to me for a £5?

Soho extended next door

Soho extended next door, i was told

Yep

Amazing, I'll PM you and will come collect!

Is anyone still after a little discount code?

I don't know who this is aimed at, but it exists

I put holes in my PT flyweight bibs and jersey this morning. Any good tips on repairing them?

I can't see the PT flyweight bibs on the site, did they get renamed or is there a similar lightweight alternative (rapha or other)?

Thanks

Don’t Rapha do a repairs service?

Website shows this, I didn't buy direct or at REI/John Lewis. I've also relocated to France so not sure how viable the service is.

If I can repair the hole I'll do that, thought maybe someone had a fix tip such as glueing or sewing.

I'll contact them and see what they say and check on the flyweight bibs too

We will examine any item - purchased on Rapha.cc, at one of our clubhouses, or through our selected retail partners REI and John Lewis.

Might be worth asking here about fixing holes: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/160474/?offset=950#comment16103760

Do an audax, get roundal, sew roundal over hole...

profit?

Looking to buy a new jersey, something other than Rapha. Any suggestions?
Has a look at black sheep, castello, etc, but nothing floating my boat. May just end up with another Rapha.

Ashmei. Also nice, but pricey.

Maap maybe

Just received a load of Albion stuff and used it for the first time this morning - really impressed with it. Quality of fabric, construction and also fit is great. Gripper on the jersey is really great too. Would absolutely buy again.

Ashmei is kinda cack. I had a jersey a few years back and it was saggy, baggy and poorly made.
