Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Got the teaser e-mail from Rapha just before Christmas, so I took the plunge an treated myself to the Classic Soft-Shell.

I would love to be able to wax lyrically about its gossamer lightness, the way its cut flatters my physique and how easily it outperforms every other cycling garment known to man. But I can't. I can't because it hasn't fucking arrived yet.

Rapha. Nice, a bit pricey and shit at deliveries.

it has to come via a mountain, them's the rules, maybe they got a puncture on route.

i can aggree

I ordered my PTJ just before Christmas and it arrived on Monday- did you place your order when they were shut?

this accusation is not fair, I have good customers behaviour

what the fuck you talking about?

They've taken a long time with a handful of orders during and after Christmas, I thought this is quite normal given the fuss.

I ordered the softshell jacket on Boxing Day. The status of the order went from "ordered" to "awaiting shipping" today. Guessing it will go out tonight. The wait, along with the price, is all part of the rapha suffering.

orderings from these sexy cyclingsts clothes brands

It's like a spambot lacking the spam. Also gracing the coffee thread with its seemingly thrice-translated babblings.

it's an alias of someone's.

I had my first crash in the Softshell jacket today. Grazed elbow beneathe the jacket but no noticeable damage to the jacket itself. Was riding too fast round a roundabout on wet roads that rarely see rain.

Lol! Love the fact that you seem more concerned about your jacket than yourself. Hope you're okay?

Same i called them this morning, theyve had a lot of orders and have been working through them apparently. An hour after the phone call i got an email saying it had been dispatched and is due by the weekend

Just imagine the avalanche once the team Sky kit hits the web site....

The Surrey hills will be swarming with tubby Skyalikes

Classic team gear, oh yes! Contemporary team gear... Not so much so, unless of course you're actually a member of the team.

Just had a look to see if mine has been dispatched. Status back to ordered. Will be summer befor it arrives

I'll get a piece of casual sky rapha wear. For wearing to races that i don't cycle to.
In the same way you'd wear a football shirt to a game.

I've pretty much decided this too. This of course depends on whether or not I like anything in particular.

Good point.
If that's the case, it's a hat to wear at jaunty angles.

Nice kit....if you're Norwegian.

Looks like mine got lost in the madness. Out of stock even though I ordered on Boxing Day. Disappointed but Rapha have made it up to me.

^^...that or ride for Napapijri
