  • Hunter doubt you will ever live this down lol!

    Only way to redeem yourself is to offer up some more real cut price waffa goodies for the masses! ;)

  • All you rapha fascists interested in transfer jacket HH is having a 50% off sale on everything and they have Primaloft stuff (and base layers too), sale ends 23:59 2/12/2013, code is: NHSVIP50

    Dont forget to rep this guy: http://www.lfgss.com/post3971863-742.html

  • Imperial Works Club Jersey seems to be available to anyone on the website at the moment. Could be a mistake but they seem to be shifting fast!

  • The deep winter socks are so nice. I never want to take them off.

  • ^damn you, they're not getting anymore now :(

  • Yay, Nutella Rapha have signed up Jan Ullrich

  • Thank goodness I haven't started to eat breakfast yet.

  • ^^ There are lots of holes in that picture, I'm surprised they didn't fix them.

  • Is he still banned? Jan and Dov would be an ideal transalp team.

  • fatty

  • cheaty

  • Met these guys on a train a few months back: http://www.ashmei.com/
    Apparently they're going to start a cycling line which is going to 'piss all over rapha', allegedly higher quality AND a higher price (they were quite proud of this bit).

    Ashmeh.

  • that stuff looks shit and Rapha will be cease-and-desisting the shit out of them if they try to enter the cycling market (that's if they haven't already).

  • Those guys are fucking delusional....

  • Black red and white...

    Fuck a duck...

  • great if you ride a specialized

  • Not as delusional as the (even more expensive) cycling brand that was on here a few pages back...

  • I like what Ashmei are doing. The tights are really nice.

  • using century gothic as body type. Blerg. No way no way.

  • Can you explain what's wrong with the choice?

    Someone connected to the company has posted on the forum before. I think they actually worked for Rapha helping produce some of their products.

    Yep. Quality looking gear, but just a Rapha copy for running really, homepage and signature stripe is not dissimilar to waffa at all. Two sports aren't that similar, don't see people running round in 12 grand of running shoes, so probably gonna seem more expensive compared to the rest of your running kit. They'll need to lock down the high end running gear market before they spread themselves thinly into cycling. Finally, when they branch into cycling, they'll need enough capital to support 'grass roots' and pro cycling like Rapha and to get a high street/boutique/coffee shop presence not web only, this will make them feel local, like a local bike shop. And that is a fuck of a lot of jerseys to shift to get to there, so yeah, they may eventually out-Rapha Rapha, but not before 2023 xx

    ...or just come up with a better idea/model than yours. Plenty exist!

  • It's probably been mentioned before, but this is a bit far, no?
