  • Those are freckles, and i think he looks good.

  • ^ to be fair, I think he's referring to the green spots on the jacket but I do think Tao looks good. At the very least, he rides bikes a fuck load better than anyone on this thread.... !

  • So I got the Grand tour gloves. Seem nice but I'm worried I've gone too small. I noticed on the site it says "buy them slightly tight and they will stretch to the shape of your hands for a perfect fit..." but mine seem really tight at the moment. I can't take them off without pulling off each individual finger. So my question to anyone that has a pair, do they stretch quite a bit?

  • Thats normally how I get cycling gloves off too?

  • thats how leather gloves work man. dont worry it will be fine in a week or two

  • I was advised, in the Cycle Club, to pull the GT gloves off by flipping them inside-out from the wrist, then pushing them back the right way out once off your hand. Puts less stress on the seams or stretches the leather less or something.

  • cheers guys

  • ^^^^^^ That would explain it.

    The next discount code: during (or straight after) the ToF? Christmas?

  • The mrs came back from a client meeting today and told me she had seen a guy on abike with a weird jockey type top on. I showed her the Rapha one and she confirmed it was indeed said (knob) jockey creation. I asked her what she thought of it and what he looked like - a right twat was the response...

    Not nice and very pricey.

    EPIC! Story.

    i was referring to the jacket. Tao is a legend.

  • This should help...

    Body is too boxy, front too high but it's slightly growing on me. I reckon the white one is the best colourway as the reflective dots don't show up as much.
    If the jeans show the longevity that some of the original have then they're ok I guess...though they seem to have a higher elastic content and are softer on the touch.

  • Is anyone after a Brevet Gilet? (Size M)

  • proteam jacket. Been too cold and rainy up here for just a jersey or baselayer, but too warm for my rain jacket and i've been offered one at a decent price.

    just how skinny do you need to be?

    I'm 72kg, 5'11 so not fat but quite stocky so wondering if in M size my rippling musculature will make me look like I've been shrink-wrapped or not.

  • check the size guide, it is fairly accurate

    or order both sizes and send one back - they are quite used to this

    when you put one on it will feel snug when you stand upright, this is because the front panel has no stretch, but when you lean forward the back will stretch a great deal

  • full-price?!!? new???

    do you take me for croesus or something? second hand innit...

  • I'm 78kg/187cm and wear the medium.

  • 5ft4, I'm a woman (aka got boobz) and a bit tubby in the belly. I wear a medium PTJ.

    quite stocky = large, imo

  • cheers folks. Will probs just look for a good gilet instead then-my M Rapha/PS city jacket is snug on my chest and loose on my tum so sounds like the PT one might be a step too far. bah.

  • When's the last time Rapha had a code? Dishin up this Raeburn crap and no codes?

  • Given how quickly that collection has been selling I am not sure they need to give out discount codes.

    Gabba.

  • thanks for a reminder, going for a ride and remembered just now to put some gfb on the player to check it out
