Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Loved the data print design as this was my first skinsuit I brought from Rapha. Granted the cut is a little off and the material is a little basic but still a lovely piece of kit.

Not my style to wear but yeah, really like the data print stuff.

I've just sent a gilet off for a zip repair. Took them about 10 days to reply to the initial email (as in, a real person, not the automated reply).

Who did the Mondrian shoes?

Wasn’t Dataprint marmite at the time? All I have left is a cap and a base layer

I've got a full length thermal aero suit in lime green data print. Can't see that one coming back somehow

Data print was peak Rapha. Been downhill ever since

Data print was 2015. After that 2 more good years than 2017 knock knock….

Ended up taking nearly a month but they sent me a voucher for a new pair of bibs. I'm positive the damaged bibs could have been repaired too but I'm not complaining.

I have some sock penalty length data print socks, time for Vinted. @PhilDAS this has got me skinsuit curious

Those winter suits are amazing. PT Jacket + PT Winter Tights in one.

Yeah it's not pretty but it's great when it's freezing. Has to be 0 Deg at most or it's too warm

If you ride slow and feel the cold like me, you can wear them from 12 degrees and down, really excellent kit

Just a quick question, perhaps people here might be able to help Will be in London in about 2 weeks, first time since ages. Which Rapha shop worth to visit, any archive store or simply the normal one? Especially if you are IPP member, is it worth to visit or does it make no sense? Thanks in advance.

There's only one Rapha store in London. There's another in Manchester and there aren't any archive stores any more afaik

Who's Will?

thanks, I assume it is the one on the Brewer Street? Only 30min walk from my hotel, so would be great :-)

yes Brewer St, if you want a coffee don't go late in the afternoon as the cafe closes earlier than the rest of the store (or at least it used to).

Every time i have visited i am seriously underwhelmed ! Did they ever do stuff for the cold ?

What you after a Bovril?

Up north its always under ten degrees in the morning.

you shouldn't have huge expectations. our visit was pretty disappointing, personal showed no interest, did´t asked me if we want to buy anything. closed the cafe in-front of us with a sign than told me (instead of hi how are you) you will be served no worries.... cafe closes earlier than store. you should sign up for a ride so some cyclists are around.

Is the data print stuff just a jersey and base layer, am dissapoint

Very disappointing, thought they may have done more than one colourway as well.

Wanted the green! £275 sheets......
