  • has anyone got the rapha/raeburn grey jeans?
    not sure if the cut is supposed to be like this or if it's an error - correct around the waist, ridiculously skinny on the thigh. like, skin-tight. and not that much stretch in the fabric.

    I have the same issiue. The Rapha jeans fits me reasonably well, but the Rapha/Rayburn is way too tight on my upper legs and thigh, while I am pretty skinny (78 kg and 1.93m=6'4). I wonder any cyclist actually fits them.

  • ^ Don't even contemplate looking through that sellers completed listings…...

  • Didnt know rapha made blue zip up catsuits !

  • Quidco cash back paying for my delivery on a nice new long sleeve polo.

  • I really don't think i have sprinter's thighs :/

    well. that is a bit silly. been meaning to try the regular ones on for ages, are they the same? I have a pair of shorts which are fitted but not ridiculously tight. do they loosen with wear? HoKe must have decent legs pushing those high gears...

    I've heard that there may be some more 'sprinter friendly' fits available a couple of seasons away. The Rapha-Raeburn jeans seem to stretch a bit after a couple of days (rather than just the skinny fit stretch they have initially).

    I'm more puzzled how they claim that a D-Lock can fit in the back pocket.

  • their shaving cream smells like roast chicken

  • but what does it taste like? enquiring minds need to know.

  • PTJ from Turkey looks very nice indeed. Its meant to have slight defect (s). But I cant see anything. Fit is the same as the PT jersey. Very happy indeed. I tell im going to get loads of use out of this up here already.

    Just had a message from EBay that this item has been pulled from the site. No details given.

    Strange, because looking at the jacket, I cant believe its fake. The tag was bare, with no item detail sticker on. Other than that I couldnt see a thing wrong with it. Its lovely, and I have no personal reason to be disatisfied. So I will keep and enjoy the jacket, untill further information is given.

    Just a heads up.

  • wow much sensorship, so cafe roubaix

  • Strange, always thought there was something slightly dodgy about ti but couldnt quite put my finger on it.

  • Maybe.

    There are still Rapha items listed by the same seller.

    I dont really want to speculate too much. But as I seemed to have recommended the seller/item on here. I felt I should share. As I said above. I am more than happy with my personal transaction.

  • wow much sensorship, so cafe roubaix

    Wow such insight, so wrong.

  • but what does it taste like? enquiring minds need to know.

    Rosemary? Nandos?

  • I threw my old and tatty cream baselayers in the wash with some darks and they've come out a very light grey... Likey, instant grunge...

  • Anyone ever washed the baslayers on a normal cycle instead of a delicate/wool cycle?

    did they survive?

  • I've got some Waffa for sells over in classifieds if anyone's interested in things like 3/4 shorts and jerseys.

  • Anyone ever washed the baslayers on a normal cycle instead of a delicate/wool cycle?

    did they survive?

    Always. They did ok, most of them have holes in them now at 2 years old, but they still do a job.

  • On 40C or you ever risked 50C?

  • why do you want to go to 50C?

  • Why not?

  • I ran it a few times at higher temperatures but it think it weakens the fabric

  • As in wool baselayers, or the synthetic ones?

    I've only ever washed my wool at 30 on a normal cycle, and nothing has died. But I don't know why you'd even want to wash at 40 (or 50?!)
