Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

have you tried the new HTFU gilet?

Is it nice but pricey?

winter jersey

i'm loving it

Can anyone comment on the new Winter Jersey? In particular the windproofing capabilities?

Am thinking about getting for my winter setup:
Rapha or Helly Hansen base > winter jersey > wind jacket
exactly my plan. Its 1C here. Not quite cold enough to give up on road cycling. But cold enough none the less.

At the risk of csb, I'm expecting [my winter collar] to arrive tomorrow.

It arrived. The postage was nice but a bit pricey.

"By appointment to The Earl of Kentish Town"

This is what everyone at Rapha HQ has to call Simon Mottram, accompanied by a little curtsey or bow.

I saw him going into an auction house in Angel the other day. Noticed the hardshell jacket first of course, then the face.

Selling coffee cards, no doubt.

Not to mention a shit load of rare stickers and badges.

Reminds me.. I must put those Rapha Randonne patches on ebay

Hmmmmm Do I wait for the January sales or use my voucher plus cash to get a long sleeve jersey/winter jersey

There will be no January sale

^^would you like to either freeze or save money?

Winter jersey no that wintery then no? Y no sale?!

You'll only get an "end of season sale". I.E end of spring they'll flog all the winter kit.

Bugger. So best just taking the fall now. Or even wait for the sale and buy more for my money etc...

the winter will claim you before the sale opens..

Buy now, then buy more in the sale ... ?

Stop being so cheap. Buy now.

Buy ALL THE THINGS!

The elbows of my jacket let in water this morning- clearly I must buy a hardshell

That's the spirit

I'm coming to the same conclusion.

Would have to be day-glow yellow. Cant ride in black in the winter, and the mustard is a bit too casual for me.

or just buy a jacket made by a company who actually want to pay for decent fabrics like GoreTex Paclite
