Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

I refuse to walk/ride around advertising Rupert Murdoch's company.

Base layer?

Do not need

which shorts?

I'd say 3 years is amazing and very good value for money.

With light use? Really?

I wouldn't call near constant wearing for everything from cycling to hill walking to car maintenence and 150+ washes 'light' use.

One of the reasons Waffa is expensive is the cost of the fabrics used - some longevity is probably sacrificed in order to have more comfortable, better performing clothes.

Being a Hereford boy, I think I might get this beauty:

The snobbery surrounding trade team kit is very odd to me. In Europe everyone rides about in trade team kit...

They also eat colons.

New code (NOC):

£25 minimum for gift vouchers: it's too much for which to ask for.

Anyone?

Take off hte advert and I'd be all over it.

^What he said.

I bought the performance base-layer.

It's like a string vest made out of stretchy stuff.

Shocked by how it looks... my body actually looks good in this thing.

Might need to save up for another.

^There can be no stronger endorsement than that

Apparently the feedback from the riders is best about the one thing they don't sell - technical gloves. The Sky team practically did the whole tour in clothing not available to the public anyway.

Anyone have the rucksack? If so are they any good?

I would have thought they wore the "Pro team" stuff? No

A lot of it is custom or modified for the riders but there are definitely some new consumer products being developed through the whole exercise. I hope it's not next summer before we get these new summer mitts. The old ones have been unavailable for ages.

I'm hoping for full body onesie made out of this miracle stretchy string vest stuff.

You'd be half way there if they make this jersey commercially available:

Miracle vest = the stuff that froome is clearly jealous of?

My Craft strung vest just got eaten by the washing machine (and Velcro gloves idiotically added as an agitative agent). Worth stepping up for a rapha replacement?

Been looking at the rapha gloves recently. £100 seems like a lot to drop.

Giro LX gloves FTW.

Got rid of my Rapha Classic bibs. Gonna try Assos. Picked up their brochure from Condor. Pretty amusing. All the cyclists look like Universal Soldier. Grave yard photo with palm trees is amazing.

Have some medium Giro LX gloves to shift, NIB if anyone is interested?
