Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

But, and this is the critical bit, was your eating experience marred by any poor people being nearby, or had the defensive pricing structure persuaded them to fuck off somewhere else?

I think mrs braves might have been marred by the £17.86 poorer mr brave rattling on about the cost of the sandwich and making sure she ate every last crumb

if you buy enough normal rapha sandwiches do you get invited to try their exclusive invite only imperial works club sandwich?

I think I'll stick to hanging round the bins out back at closing time for their sample sale sandwiches. they're just as good as the regular ones except someone probably already had a go on it and took a bite or something.

The food is priced In such a way to cover all the espresso cups that were scoused from the last Rapha cafe project.

Wear same old jacket year after year=afford bike parts.

Worked for stench jacket of doom.. with the bonus of killing all life within 30m..

Fuck. My. Life. Going to see Batman in the West End Saturday so Mrs Brave and I thought it would be nice to have a quick drink and sandwich at Rapha CC.. hang bikes up. Say hello and chat to Big Daddy Wayne and have a little browse.. Order a lemonade, a elderflower water and two sandwiches.

£17.86..

SEVENTEEN POUNDS AND EIGHTY SIX PENCE!

Two small bottles of soft drink and two sandwiches..

I will admit that I keep going back to look at the pro team jacket, and the rain jacket.

Pro team jacket is worth EVERY penny..

^^
Had both, sold both.

Think I NEED the gilet. Both of them.

I just bought the rain jacket.

Brave, why do I need the Pro Team Jacket?

It is 10 X sandwiches

It is 10 X sandwiches

omg. that makes it seem quite reasonable. although of course it's 10x (2 sandwiches, 2 drinks)

The horror..

so it's a choice between a pro team jacket or buying a pro team lunch?

lunch for a pro team = a pro team jacket?

more than tempted by the rain jacket. Was actually glad when it sold out the first time around in the sale.
I seem to get really hot riding so I don't know if I am better off sticking to my gilet + get wet.
how do people find them for ..
a)packability
b) ventilation
c)how do I sneak it past the missus' rapha radar
thanks

How many sandwiches is the rain jacket worth?

and a slice of lemon drizzle cake?

You could always do this:

I am about to take the plunge.... anyone willing to 'refer me as a friend'?
(If I've read it correctly) we'll both get 10% discount.

Get one of these instead

Subway may not be pricey, but it certainly isn't nice.

Stench jacket of doom in a roll, how do they do it for £3

Looks like the sale has had a restock. If you missed out on anything, worth taking another look.

I really want the black/Hinault 5 Decades t-shirt, but can't bring myself to spend the money.
