Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

it's a pic of cold man wearing a hat looking bored.
why the consternation ?

& a tennis ball in his pants making me feel a bit inadequate considering how chilly he looks

Yeah, I tried to work out if he was someone famous but the URL reveals nothing.
Other than his steroid-assisted chin I'm not quite sure what is wrong.

@ hippy... only 593 posts to go & 4 days to go

That's almost 150/day. Not gonna happen.

*merkin not visible in pic.

pah, i don't believe that

Bloody hell, Rapah's PR machine is obviously not working - and that's not a frequently heard complaint. They have their own UCI recognized pro team it's called Rahpa-Condor, and at a guess they all wear Rahpa kit.

i was of course referring to the gratuitous scrotal appendage.

I need more to work with.. too many forumengers have disappeared, gone away.
Without tynan and bmmf posting randomness I have no drunken forum splurges any more. Dark times.

and have just received on of these from finisterre, will let you know what it's like after a ride tonight, so far the cut seems brilliant. I got the medium and the arms are plenty long enough whilst stretched and the back comes down quite far. £30

excellent service from Finisterre.

Just bought two of these: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/Cycle/7/Endura_Baa_Baa_S~S_Base_Layer/5360035878/ . Very comfortable and soft.

This one: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/Cycle/7/Trekmates_Merino_Wool__S~S_Base_Layer/5360035552/ is also 100% merino.

I used the Wiggle voucher on a previous thread and ended up getting the baselayer for about £23 each.

Haven't you heard? Rapha is so over. It's all about Aldi for 2009:

How is the fit? I'd like to get a tight-fitting base-layer but because I've got quite a small chest it's not usually something I can get.

the fit is good. i've got a 42 chest and I got the large size. it's pretty fitted. comfortable and well cut (the shirt, not me).

just took a look at the leather cycling gloves ---

£70 oh my fucking god !! unbelievable markup for such a small piece of leather

hang on isn't it £120?

can't be as bad as spending £160 on a fucking belt that just hold your jean up from Diesel.

the clearance price that is ! makes it even more shocking

You do not need to go to Rapha for wool tops Woolite do much cheaper and nice retro tops
