Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Looks like it would strap to the top of the carradice nicely though.

All hail the carradice.

Well tempted to get city rain jacket. but it's kinda similar to hard shell but just looks way more casual. Which is a good thing...

I rarely wear mine whilst riding. But I've worn it to a wedding, traveling in Europe, and a snowy week in Stockholm, and skiing (admittedly I run very hot!), it gets loads of use as a nice smart jacket

Lots of stuff that was very available at the start of this week is now all sold out.... hummm , a bit not quite as it is ?

Ooops... two polo shirts and the backpack. Not sure I even need the backpack.

Wouldn't recommend the Transfer jacket. Too delicate with the side panels and cuffs.

Hardshell and Merino boxers are both nice. 3/4 shorts too.

Anyone in the know have an idea whether bibs are likely to be added to the sale?

I'm about to buy some bibs. At the minute, I'll be going elsewhere. If Rapha put their classics in the sale I'd probably go for them. I know Rapha have history of adding extra items to the sale as well as dropping the prices further, and would probably hang on if I knew.

Try Assos. I found them comfier.

Yup, decided not to wait to see what would happen with the sale, so Assos got my cash again.

Nice, but a bit pricy... Not quite as nice as Rapha if you ask me.

Classic Bib Shorts and FI.Mille S5 are the same price online. Rode The London Classic with Rapha and RideLondon 100 with Assos. Sold the Rapha. Personal preference of course, but I found the pad, fit, and breathability to be better. Had the Rapha Pro Team base layer vest on at the same time.

Like you said, personal preference. Reminds me of the "Favourite Gear Ratio" threads... one of my absolute favourites :)

I'll be annoyed if any Large Rain Jackets were in the sale...maybe missed out.
Worth trying in store tomorrow?

Just bought a city rain jacket and a gingham ss shirt to go with the softshell trousers, hooded merino top, 2 pairs of city riding pants and 3/4 pants I bought last week. Yikes.

Popped into the store yesterday and managed to pickup a lightweight jersey. Seems like they had a decent stock levels in most of the stuff I asked about.

I'm looking for peoples experiences of the pro-team jerseys and bibs please.

I've read the Waffa site an the sizing charts and they suggest a medium in both the jersey and bibs. I'm usually a medium in all other items but I don't want to look like a sofa/novelty condom if I go for the same size in pro-team.

I have the thermal bibs and they fit perfectly so it's more the jerseys I'd like some advice with.

Thanks!

Pro-Team jerseys are a very tight fit. I use one size up for Pro compared to Classic and they both fit perfectly. Suppose it depends on how you're build...*

*I'm not fat.

I am a small in the pro jersey but i need an extra small - in the classic jersey

RE bibs I am a small in both classic and pro team

The pro team jerseys are an amazing fit on the bike, they tend to bunch on the shoulders when stood up as they built for the race position.

Thanks for that. It looks like a size up is definitely required.

Just for balance, I have the Pro-Team jacket, and that fitted best in Medium- which is the same size that I take in the normal range.

Apart from the winter tights, in order to get them long enough I need the large.

which jerseys have the headphone hole thing?

trying to decide if its worthing getting the club over a torm

The club jerseys have them, and I think the pro team jersey does too. My classic jerseys dont have them either.

Think club are on sale at the moment too....

want the backpack - have perfectly acceptable T Level Challenger in use just now and cannot justify this - still want the backpack!

Their messenger bags appear to have disappeared from their website. Anyone know if these have been discontinued?

Merino PS Jersey XXL, and Armwarmers L for sells

I'm genuinely surprised that my sale stuff arrived this morning. As in today! Usually I've found it takes at least a week for Rapha to even despatch stuff. Very impressed!

^ Really? Did you get a dispatch notice?

Impressive.

i love the rapha stuff, it looks tremendous and the quality is amazing but
a) am i rich - NO, and
b) will it make me go faster, probably not,
also, the sky stuff is too common imho
