  • Wiggo?

  • I quite like them...

    I do too. Being remade from military parachute material is pretty cool, in a technical way. The sort of thing you'd expect from Christopher Raeburn. Green one looks like it'd be hard to wear but the others aren't too far out there.

  • I quite like the new lightweight bib shorts

  • Also want

  • Exactly... the Bordeaux stuff is a hit even if the bright luminous stuff is a miss.

  • that's pretty nice

  • hmm will it be limited or normal stock you think?

  • So asking the wrong person.

    But here it is:

  • Seriously nice... and I like Bordeaux wine, plus the first girl I ever snogged was from Bordeaux... so I think it might be fated.

  • oh I'll stick it on notify and buy it when it appears I guess.

    really like the look of it

  • Looks like TS got their first though... this is his monogrammed one.

  • representing the womens, wtf?! light colours are gonna make me look fat(ter) and a pepe le pew stripe?
    bring back the ninja look.

  • bring back the ninja look.

    Rapha stealth = little black dress

    It's pretty timeless and works even in nightclubs (speaking from my own experience there... black Rapha tops, not dresses)

  • the first girl I ever snogged was from Bordeaux...
    Ahh - the rites of passage of the French exchange.

    Impossibly sophisticated schoolchildren with their stonewash jeans, Gauloises cigarettes and feather-cut mullets.

    Almost like a Friday night in Hoxton.

    I wish.

    I was a late starter, she worked at Heathrow. The joys of council estate parties in the shadow of the airport is that airport temp workers would try and obliterate any memory of where they worked. You'd get these parties with trashed council estate kids and these worldly kids a few years older than us.

    She introduced me to some french music and I introduced her to the Pixies, she introduced me to snogging and I introduced her to premature ejaculation. Seemed like a fair exchange at the time. Looking back it's no surprise we didn't have the longest of flings.

  • Fluoro > Bordeaux

  • But srsly, they haven't gone entirely nodder chic. The Windproof Shirt in navy and the Merino Hooded Top are both classic, understated, not-looking-like-bike-gear-but-working-fantastically-on-it Rapha.

  • I was a late starter
    On the plus side, at least you finished early.

  • It was overdue.

    That was my explanation at the time and I'm sticking to it.

  • Still?

  • I'm sticking to it.

    ew

    Edit: beaten... er, andyp made the joke first

  • I'm sure there is some sort of Classed Growth joke in there [/wine geek]

  • Hmmm the new yellow pro team bibs would match my fluro bike and fluro shoes.......

  • The new pro team shorts and jersey are hot.

  • There were some whoppers with no idea of how to ride in a bunch wearing the fluoro team shorts in Regents Park. Not a good look.
