I'm sure some of you will have had an e-mail from Rapha yesterday about their offer on the Rouleur Photo Annual -basically get it for £20 and the first 200 get a free white Rapha musette ('bag' to you and me) thrown in.
Now the Rouleur Photo Annual is up to the normal standard, so if you're into the photography side of things and are willing to spend £20 quid on it, then go for it - offers much better value than the previous price. What I won't recommend is buying it for the musette - if you're expecting something similar to the full price Rapha musette then you'll be disappointed - it's a simple cloth carry bag, about the size of an A4 sheet of paper. To my eyes it serves no useful purpose apart from to carry your copy of the annual in 'style'. I'm sure Rapha have got some blurb about it being reminiscent of the musettes used by TdF riders in the 1930s and is finely hand woven from Coppi's dried spunk or something.
I bought it because it was a good price for what's a fantastic set of photos, but just wanted to warn anyone off who might be getting excited about the 'buy quick or you'll miss out' stuff.
That'll be all...
