Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Picked this up for £20 today, amazing quality. Having been misinformed on the use of baselayers (thought they were for cool weather), I must say, I am a convert to them and to rapha also. I just wish I culd get that much discount on Rapha clothing that ISN'T sky branded. Though, saying that, the softshell looks very minimalist...

^I generally ride with the sleeveless version and it is great

I might swap for that. Its a bit big, and the sleeves are longer than most of my jerseys.
Where's that Ectomorphs' Clothing thread? (6'2 and wearing size small jerseys, I WANT RACECUT DAMMIT!)

Where did you get it from? For £20 I'd pick one up myself....

taps nose staff discount.

The vest version of that looks like it would be perfect Northern Soul dancing wear.

Fuck it. I want one.

Might have to bug Simon again.

Definitive ectomorph here. Wear baselayers instead of LS jerseys as bother are cut longer and slimmer.

Beware they are very snug

They are quite slim fit. But they should be, it's a 'race-fit, professional quality' garment.

They had large in Evans at Spitalfields just now, might be as Senior Bear suggests, might be a bit snug for you.

Twice today!

I'm only 32 what's all this talk of senior?

sorry old chap, but over 30 is over the hill in this modern media age.

It's a shame because although it's well sleek gear, I refuse to walk/ride around advertising Rupert Murdoch's company.

I prefer the Condor stuff to the Sky stuff, wish the discounts worked on that!

The snobbery surrounding trade team kit is very odd to me. In Europe everyone rides about in trade team kit and it's sold on behalf of the local teams by the local bike shops plus you can buy the usual pro-tour and pro-conti kits. Yet here in Britain you're a full kit wanker for doing the same.

Why is that?

^absolutely agree. Especially when what's on offer elsewhere. My club kit is vomit inducing.

Wish they would do the kit, same colour scheme, without the Sky logo.

Liverpool FC (fans of).

Gave birth to the FCW scene and managed to put everyone off for life.

I keep looking out for a decent wool original Brooklyn RdV outfit but fear everyone else will stick me in the same category as these winners:
