Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Definitely a bit pricey!!!

Are people mad?

This.

If you waited a couple more days you could order from Rapha direct for just £100.

...... for just £100.

A t-shirt with a zip and some pockets. For only £100!

Just 10,000p, for a T-shirt!

A mere 158,00 Yen!

How do they do it?

It is fucking amazing, didnt the MD/CEO work in marketing before he/they set up Rapha?

Clearly shows.

A lot less than the £175 they are willing to pay currently. Doesn't mean it's cheap. But if you are gonna pay more than the rrp from something that is already expensive be my guest!

They are definitely the boutique brand in cycling, so that generally means higher prices. Top that with brilliantly designed garments and good styling and to be honest excellent performance on the bike, then I guess you have to pay a premium for the goods.

Its great stuff I'm sure. Personally, even if I'm not the fastest of riders, I like to ride in, and on, the best I can afford.

But the 'rare' stuff goes for insane money.

I like this, its my size, and as an ex-pat I have that exagerated patriotic thing going on.

But really?

But the jersey I linked isn't even a rare jersey... It's the standard super lightweight one. Some people have far too much money.

what is the black rapha jacket with the long pink flap covering the ass? apols if i am being dim, I couldnt see it on the site

City rain jacket?

Just got the city wind jacket and snood in the post. The wind jacket feels like a plastic bag, I have a feeling I will be wetter wearing it in rain than not wearing it! #boilinabag

The sizing explains its price i guess...

Anyone know how long it takes for a replacement when you send a faulty item back?

That's why you should'nt use your name for your company... Now Google spits 30/70 apparel and doping, way to kill your brand.

can you try one of their base layers on in store?
