Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Oh damn I do want some winter stuff actually. Snooze ya lose

must be. they for like autumn/spring?

They're just the old pro team bibs but in a new recycled fabric
ish

very good. thanks

Did my first rides with the classic winter jersey, kind of a softshell, about 10 ˚C without anything, with windbraker when like 3–5 ˚C, and maybe when it gets colder in January or February instead/together of the windbraker above with a (windbraker?) baselayer. I really like it so far.
Or do I feel the cold more when getting older? A merino jersey was always enough with a windbraker.

anyone had any success in getting holes patched in merino sweatshirts. I've got a couple with holes in undesirable places, and don't really want to chuck and replace, would much prefer to repair if possible.

Just take to any good repair place. All my merino stuff is patched all over the place, with patched from an old top.

Would anyone like to swap a Large pro team insulated jacket in Black for a pro team insulated gilet in Large, ideally Navy or Chartreuse but other colours considered.

Anyone have any experience with the new(ish) Rapha Classic glasses? The brown ones are currently £54 which seems like a good price

I'm a fan of them. but have had to replace a pair due to the hinge breaking. More my fault due to standing on them...

Pro Team bib shorts - does the stiching that holds the bib straps to the lower section have elasticity?

I just got mine back from being repair, they cut off the whole upper strap section and replaced with new. It appears normal thread has been used to reattach, so they are difficult to get on. Repair took 3 months so can't remember if this is normal?

EDIT - emailed Rapha to query it.

Did you eat a lot of mince pies in the three months waiting?

Well that was my first thought, but I’ve only had two mince pies so far this year. Usually have atleast one pack a week from Greggs.

Greggs mince pies?! Are they nice?

If you have to ask, you'll never know

That's a no then.

nothing about the £3,000 coffee machine. exclusive to rafa members only ?

nothing new

Its a good coffee machine

how would you know?

Because I've used a similar but lower model Rocket machine quite a bit

Guess Rapha doesn't have the clout for a La Marzocco collab? Missed opportunity for a hot pink Linea Mini.

How mutch are the BALMAMION TRACK TROUSERS in the sail?
