Albion, nice and a reasonable amount of pocket locations

Thanks for highlighting @Rusty_Nail Forget who was asking upthread, but mens & womens lightweight jersey has just gone online;

• adding small edit from previous post on LW Jerseys; Edit; sleeve length are slightly longer. I will try to get a measurement, but it's slightly tricky due to difference in raglan/set-in and how the different fabric falls/stretches. Prob checking tanlines will be the most accurate means.
  

Gonna hold my hand up and say I've never been a fan of the jersey colours but... the lightweight jerseys are very nice indeed!!!! Which reminds me... I really need some new bibs!

picked up the pertex rain jacket today after getting soaked on the weekend. Sized up for a more mountain bike friendly fit. Surprised how small it packs down. not much bigger than a water bottle! Top as always!

What colour is this jersey, rosin?

Yes I think it is.

Sorry for delay, and thanks Bossman - yes, that's the rosin, really love this tone.

I’ve been really enjoying my rosin bib shorts

We'll be in the Via Crit village tomorrow, in Coal Drops Yard.

Rolling in with our pop-up mobile studio, doing free repairs on any brand cyclewear. Will be focussed on patching simple scrapes & tears, get-you-running again, with patches to take away if you prefer. To keep things moving and avoid bottlenecks, we'll limit to 1 garment-per-person if it gets busy, and no hardwear/zips I'm afraid.

We'll also be applying some Via Crit / Albion reflective/glow-in-the-dark decals to any kit we can fit into the heat press, plus some Zoa caps for the event

Will be great having racing in centre of town again, check the IG stories for epic ramp build going on over the steps, .....although fingers crossed for the weather!

What a shame it was a washout but good to see you lot plugging along! In an attempt to continue to thank you for fixing up my skin suit over Christmas last year, I picked up a nice navy cap.

My insulated Zoa jacket which, outside of summer, I basically live in.
A repair patch on the right sleeve to fix a small tear, and a 12 Hours of May patch underneath.
Replaced one of the zip pulls with tie-die puller from @Chopsicle .
The rear zip pocket has been repaired by Albion with poppers as I managed to derail the zip.

The free repair service is exceptional, really impressed with the work done!

@Chopsicle bowled over by the Zoa Insulated Jacket for last years/this years winter riding to the point were I need to get a waterproof for the near future. Is the sizing the same on both the insulated and the rain shell and are you going to be getting more mediums made soon/new colours?

Summer sale is on

I've convinced a friend to switch from rappa. Hrs asking if bibs are similar size to pro team fit?

@Johnnyw75 yes, rain shell same fit as the hooded insulated, and fits over really well; in utter shite weather it's amazing how comfortable you are. ....bear with me, been out for a while, will check on incoming status for you tomorrow.

@exteroceptive thanks for posting, appreciated!

@mcflute yes, I find them same-same, but legs are longer similar to the PT longer leg fit if that makes sense. There's a satisfaction guarantee for some peace-of-mind if it doesn't work out.

Ta. I'll pass it on. My ABR1 are still the best pair of bibs I've had.

Perfect, thanks!

@Chopsicle Hey Graeme, will you guys ever look into offering two leg lengths for bibs like the Rapha PT bibs long/reg? Cheers!

Hi graham will the winter pertex waterproof zoa be relaunched ?

My insulated Zoa jacket which, outside of summer, I basically live in

I acquired one on Saturday. With the freezing wind and rain, it was a nice addition to my non-bike excursion that evening.

I also look forward to trying the musette/burner come the winter. It was too toasty for yesterday's ride in LfL.

Picked up a burner musette at Condor, only comes with one super long, non-adjustable strap. Am I being really thick or is this the wrong strap or missing a stabilising strap? I had it in my mind that the stabilising strap would be an additional clip on/off jobby like the lightweight musette. Or is this the right strap and you have to play about with it threading through the corner loops to get the stabilising bit across your chest somehow?!

Danke. Wouldn't get that in a million years. Let's see me get that right at stupid o'clock in bumfuck-nowhere-France deep into PBP...

This is real nice. How warm is it?

It took me a while to work out a way, it through me for some time to work out what was going on. Certainly not as easy as the lightweight stability strap.

It's identical as the burner. Benefit can carry stuff and doesn't need to be tucked into bibs
