Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

I spent 7 days riding marseille and provence this july with the proteam baselayer. The baselayer helps to wick the moisture away from your skin. I ride the mesh baselayers in +35c and it's fine.

Eight days in the alps with one baselayer. I don't know what it does but I know that I never ride without one.

That's absolutely disgusting. You must have stunk.

No. Rapha baselayer fresh alpine air in the evening never did.

Reasons not to follow Ludwig:

1. He gets lost/takes the scenic route
   
2. He hasn't changed his underwear all week
   

That's absolutely disgusting. You must have stunk.

It was OK, nobody followed him.

Aldi doing one of their cycling gear sales now. Is this the right thread?

Totally. This is the nice but not so pricey thread ;)

I have a bit of Rapha kit but I also have a bit of Aldi gear too... not much difference.

In all seriousness, I have a Rapha discount code from a Facebook friend if anyone wants it, PM me.

Would love that code, looking to get a shoftshell. I can't PM you though as I am a newbie on the forum :(

Thanks for the code Ian. Got myself some gear I was meaning to get!

So I guess it's too late now for the code. Damn.

I went M in Assos and they fit perfectly. I am 5'6-7" and 31 waist if that helps.

I would also go M in rapha judging from their site. I am a M in all their tops.

I'm seriously considering splashing the cash on some assos bib tights. I'm Just over 6ft and around 31" waist, with a mega skinny ass. Would medium suffice? I've gone small on non-bib shorts before to get the fit, but I guess I need length of strap / leg too now.

Also... Rapha deep winter jersey - worth the £160? They look beautiful

I am 6ft, 65kg 29" waist and have a pair of large Assos bib shorts which fit and a medium pair which also fit (both S5 Uno)
The medium is a bit more snug, but both the straps and fabric have a good amount of stretch (much more so than other bibs I have)

Tights may have a bit less stretch if the fabric is thicker though...

I had a pretty incredible one-time use discount code... but am so broke the only thing I could use it for is socks.

Now I discover that whilst I thought I owned bib shorts I apparently don't, and so I need to buy some on the credit card.

You cannot imagine how hard I'm kicking myself for having wasted the discount code on 2 pairs of socks.

And now with only 2 days to go my only real option is to pay full price, and if I'm doing that... Assos gets it.

Privatepatterson's worked for me just now......it's nice, and a good chunk less pricey!

You appear to have the same bodybuilder physique as myself (I'm around 63kg). Think I'll try the mediums, would prefer snug and toasty over a bit baggy... thanks for the tip off.

I have it, really good jersey. In winter I wear it over a full sleeve base layer and its perfect. Coupled with a buff and full finger gloves and thats the top half sorted.

Quick question does anyone have the pro team jersey? do you size up? i wear M in all other tops so should I stick to it? slim and athletic with muscly arms from gym...

Big thanks to Privatepatterson, code is a winner! Just pulled the trigger on pack of 3 merino socks, sleeveless merino BL and pro team jersey! Massive discount!

Now just need to hide that bill from the missus!!!
