Albion, nice and a reasonable amount of pocket locations

Oh, and apologies, meant to post this update last week; delay in planned launch of new products (thanks Brexit) so is now this Tuesday. Hopefully.

Further info, wore mine on a lovely 50k coastal loop and was excellent. I think on the bike I'm glad it's a bit bigger now as it fits a bit nicer, doesn't ride up etc etc. 👍

It got a lot of love, and lots of stares. Good or bad? Haha.

@Chopsicle yeah a month or so is fine mate.

think that you on the Insta Stories @King_Saxlingham ? thanks for sharing, looking good! And cheers Scunny, nice one!

I missed the Daytripping ride out to Lewes at the start of the month; long weekend coming up, girlfriend going to a bottomless brunch thing on Saturday means I've got a free pass all day. Happy to do the 90k route, should really do the 160k one though. Anyone keen to join?

Food at Beak brewery on Saturday looks very tempting...

@Chopsicle Got my shirt this morning, it's really great and happy with the fit - thanks for the quick turnaround!

Ace, no worries @tb55 I was out running a few errands this morning, good to meet @tramp too!

for those additional orders @damitamit I have one XS blank left here, which I can get into work/dispatched next week, and @RhysC I've added your Large to the screenprint order - thanks for the continued support!

Picked mine up yesterday and have suitably shocked some colleagues on video calls today :) A public word of thanks to @Chopsicle for running this. Think it's the 3rd Raeburn custom garment in my possession now!

If helpful to others on sizing: I'm 5'11", 67kgs, and about a 37" chest. I would normally wear a small but glad that I followed the advice and sized up to a medium. It's a slightly looser fit but smaller than a "conventional" medium.

@Chopsicle from the wapha thread on see-through bibs.

For those that have, any idea how old they are, and are they fitted right?

Mine are probs ~2yrs old, so it's not a huge gripe though a shame that the material let go before the pad. I have some rapha classic bibs which are in the reverse situ and are much older so that has (rightly or wrongly) become an expectation.

Not sure if they're fitted right, I wear an xs, 28ish waist, 5'9" overall but with short legs - I had to size down to get the leg length sorted and they're still my longest bibs.

Hope this is somewhat helpful!

Any long term reviews of the rain jacket 3.0 on here? I'm in the market for a new jacket after my rapha core has finally died.

Im still heartily recommending the long sleeve jersey and the insulated gilet. I’m using the gilet way more than I thought - say 8 degree commutes and that kind of thing.

I need some new Sunday best bibs. At 6’ and 73kg should I be looking at medium or large? And is there a forum discount code still knocking around?

Saw this a few weeks ago and totally forgot. Probably way too late now, but worth a try as it's awesome!

hi @tyeness ...really sorry for the delay, been away from screens since Thurs - thanks for the feedback, yes, another option on the leg-length would be useful in the future. I'll DM you in a sec and sort something out, apologies again for the delay!

Where about are you @cookiemonster? They are in at Condor, Pinarello Regent St, another big stockist slightly west of Richmond Park (tba today/tomorrow) and you're more than welcome to drop into our studio in Deptford to try sizes.

For mens sizing, I find it comparable with Rapha - I'm a 6'3 88kg and Large in Albion (as I was in Rapha) if that's any use.

Edit to inc forum code; LFGSS10

and thanks for the interest ....I'm going to work through all the final orders today; the re-printing order has been placed with the screen printers, but there's a chance there's a L available from those changing sizing, or if not I will try to add yours on. Fingers crossed for you!

Thanks for the reply, fingers crossed!

I'm a similar height and weight to you, and I've got the medium, which fits well. I used the forum discount when I bought mine a couple of months ago. I'd wait though, as @Chopsicle said a new version was set to be released this week I think?

The ABR1 product page seems to be 404'd at the moment

Site/product page updates occurring, possibly live tonight, definitely tomorrow morning.

Exciting!

Cheers, and thanks @Chopsicle

Season photos are up here, and all product pages are back on;
