Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Why is everyone after the essentials case?
It's a purse.

So fucking tempted by a pair of touring shorts.

handy to keep tire levers etc... in... and at £5 it's a good deal

Seriously? It's essential.

You can keep stuff in it.

... like essentials.

Do it! That's how much I bought mine for last Autumn. They were that price in the samplesale this weekend too. Mine have been excellent and worth every penny I think.

Can anyone speak from experience for what the PS Rain Jacket is like? Hoping it's more like the wind/rain/stowaway jackets than the classic softshell.

Thanks,

More like the classic softshell as far as a remember (Boss ordered one then sent it back as couldn't justify cost). Pretty sure it's not that easy to stuff in your back pocket

Anybody having trouble with online orders from Rapha..? They're usually really prompt on confirmations and despatch enquiries.

Ordered a shirt on Monday. Got the automated response and then nothing else. I emailed to see how the order was progressing and still no response (I've never failed to get a personal response in the past.)

I ordered some touring shorts on Monday. Got an email confirming despatch on Tuesday and they arrived yesterday.

I'm guessing that they're swamped with orders from the sale...
There were a couple of things i was looking at and all the stock has disappeared in my size so i reckon they must have sold a boat load of stuff!

Monday they were still undoing the shop...

Actually going to goto the shop in SF, since it seems it will remain now :)

Hmmm. Money has left account..

last week i ordered stuff which arrived the day i got the email notifying me of the despatch.

given that they have a sale on right now i guess things are possibly a little busy

Yeah.. I figured as much prancer..

I ordered on Monday and the parcel was here yesterday morning.

Rapha fanboys.

And it was a standard delivery as well.

shut up

I look good in pink, me.

I ordered the pink short sleeve shirt..

Sent another email asking nicely what up? Still no response..

Damm it I just saw this and went to the Rapha web site and just had an accident with my bank card and bought trousers! What the h*ll just happened?

Same, but I pulled before I put my card details in. Ahhhhh, but they're half price!!

It would be silly to buy anything from their shop only few days after the sample sale - especially for those who attended it. If I didn't buy it for £20 last week why I'd buy it now for £70?
