meh

I have spend £2,250 according to my account history. Fuck.

I'm still shit at cycling.

Have you got a card?

Is your whole wardrobe Rapha and not just your cycling gear?

I think it's £5k now

The imperial works PT bibs look very nice.

^^ in a year(!) or just overall spend?

Annually.

fucking hell. who even needs that much cycling clobber. you'd have to pretty much kit out your whole wardrobe off and on the bike for the year.

Hmmm.

If the nice high end stuff is around £160. You're looking at 18 items, assuming expensive jackets balance with socks etc.

Spend £5k so you can spend some more on ltd edition items - what a great business plan.

Business plan... Lol

Annually.

You spend £5k on cycling gear a year?

Unless you drop a clothes size every few months how is that possible?

Those tops have even more of an SS vibe than the old Rapha kit had.

It looks like something Max Mosely would wear for a night of slap, tickle & goose stepping.

No and no. Although it's getting close to a yes on the second question.

Was waiting for the great Ebay flood.

As a card carrying Imperial Works member, I shall remain here.

Do you have a tweed softshell?

I've wondered if there is an explicit "no eBay/reselling" policy that comes with IW membership. You don't see it come up very often.

I had one, wore it twice then sat on it for a year or two and sold it for double what I paid for it.

Open the internet site, and set your delivery country to Norway. Same level of nice, but a little more pricey.

Plus I want some older colours in stuff.

You mean the dark purple/violet colour most of the black jerseys go after a few years of washing?
