Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Easy with Strava's fucked up elevation gains.

Especially when recorded on an iphone.

Easy peasy. I'll be out in the alps as it happens that week.

Jadias, which one in the north out of interest? Kyoto to Lake Biwa and back on route 30 is good for repeats but the area to the north of Kyoto is so hilly it should be easy without going over the same ground twice.

I was joking really - I meant Seiryu Omote:

Doing it once it bad enough. Even the thought of doing repeats on that makes me want to cry.

does anyone planning to buy anything from the website?
need to spend £25-30 more to get free delivery..

Anyone got some large rapha jerseys they are looking to sell on? After some merino for touring this summer but can't afford top dollar...

PM me if you have anything

After some merino for touring this summer but can't afford top dollar...

cough

Nothing like four hours in the rain to get the grand tours white again. I had given up on them.

The étape stuff looks a little bit grumpy...

Grumpy as in it looks like the finnish swimming team? :D

good stuff that cap is sweet

Edit: Why did they have to add some goddamn date to it. It looks like some band tshirt with tour dates

Grumpy as in forum favourite cs grupetto's summer kit...

Our intellectual property lawyers are monitoring the situation.

Especially if it involves a group buy on the socks.

The étape stuff looks a little bit grumpy...

Out of register you mean?

You have to be invited to buy them?

on topic: the ræburn wind jacket(white one - the only reasonable color) is starting to grow on me and I'm quite surprised.

probably won't buy it though. At least when I'm sober I won't..

as for the étape jersey....

colors are fresh but do not like the text on it. just plain striped jersey with those colors would've been great. or maybe add a thin red stripe in between the two blue ones to replace the text.

if it's supposed to be an exact copy of the mercier jersey then dont'.

Sorry should have dropped the gruympy part :) I meant that it reminded me of the finnish team colors but now I cant find a reference image that is not NSFW. This is what I meant http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b154/spyboy1/TSG%20Blog%203/KurriFinland1996.jpg

When doing their survey thing a while back I said that they should stop making everyone in their ads look really mardy and glum, and that riding a bike was a joyous, enlivening experience so they shouldn't be wearing the face akin to that of someone marching into battle or waiting on the result of an HIV test.

They seem to have tried to take this on board by actually having some smiling in their vids but it's actually more annoying than the wholly moody cnts they had before. Why is this?

Despite the premium you pay for a Rapha jersey, please be aware that it does not give you a higher priority than other road users.

Thank you

Anyone interested in a Winter Jersey in XXL (don't ask) that i have that needs to go to a good home.
You know the adage, buy in summer for winter. So yours for £90. One of the original ones without the large Rapha logo on the back.

Let me know
