Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

cheers man! that really helps, as I was kinda thinking the same thing (though through methods of deciphering internet banter/marketing guff rather than trying the stuff on tut) as the recommendations for the cape come from a lean mean machine. I'm neither regularly aggressive, or aero and for the benefits of anyone sharing a road with me, cautious of anything "pro", though the PTJ looks lovely, as do the bibs. so, i'd be persuadable..

I like the RJ red also!

I have to say I'm not convinced the rain jacket is made of waterproof material. You can reproof it relatively easily, but that wears off again. It's a lovely fabric don't get me wrong, but the waterproofing is a coating, which, fantastic while it lasts, once it's worn is shite. I still love mine but would suggest going gore-tex for a properly waterproof jacket.
