Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

eeehhhh [quote]leeww Nice Rapha track frame ! Any one know how much these babies cost ??

Just look in the Rapha catalogues online![/quote]

I looked, but all I could find was lots of hats, socks, gloves and jerseys in pink ! - No bikes.

Looks very posh, lots of carbon, probably a couple of grand ?

it's condors track frame, that's all.

RPM it's condors track frame, that's all.

So it is ! They have the same frame but with a red and white graphic (blocks) on the side, I think it looks pretty nice in the Rapha design, any how enough dreaming I must get back to reconditioning my £30 'Puch' Shopper.

that needs a carbon seatpost and saddle that does

it needs riding at a velodrome by someone who can win the odd race

listen to you lot go on.

most of you on here can easily afford a pair of rapha gloves to leave next to your brand new powermac whilst you wank away on quark.

that's bullshit

peejay78 listen to you lot go on.

Powermacs are very last year don't cha know, Apple has not made a powermac for a while now, it is all Mac Pros now with Intel chips.

And as for wanking away on quark, I think you will find most wanking is done in Adobe InDesign.

MInd you the Rapha gloves might provide extra purchase during a particularly energetic session.

I might do my £30 Shopper up in the Rapha team design :P

:-| Hardly.

ok - vaguely tongue in cheek...

not meant to cause offence/humour meltdown.

Ha. Most of the offence was the suggestion of actually using Quark.

;)

i have never even thought of wearing gloves when i cycle, let alone paying££££££ for them:)

I only to stop road rash if I come off. And it's slightly more comfortable when riding :)

so is this Rapha stuff really worth it? I don't think they sell it in the US. It would have to be GREAT stuff, since its going to cost me double. I would like a rainproof coat, I had one last year but it only lasted one season.

When it's in the sale, possibly. It does look nice, but I'd never spend the amounts they demand on a single jacket or hat or whatever.

yeah the jackets do look good, but yeah same old story, is it worth the price???

it would be hideously expensive in the u.s
i expect exte-onde(sp?), assos, decente, etc are cheaper
their style is unique though, just don't pay full RRP.

heather so is this Rapha stuff really worth it?

Noooo! Don't do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But the jacket is so nice! :)

Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

I like Rapha stuff so there!

Rode to work in their 1st gen softshell and "fixed" shorts today in the pissing rain

and got to work nice and dry and looked the bollox too.

Obviously rocked the sorts and Sidis combo with some long purple and grey stripey socks tho.......

Rapha's nice, but a bit pricey doncha think?

Just got an email about the 3 top deal for £90. So, as my polyester base layers have a smell that would offend the dead, I bought them.

Don't think that's a bad price for 3 merino base layers.Got a mix of long and short sleeve.

Is that offer open to everyone?
