Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

That's where you're going wrong. You should be hand-washing them in a babbling brook on the upper slopes of the galibier or something.

are these fakes? Would like to order some.

Gday,

Did a search, no dice.

Anyone have any experience with the pro team race cape?

Evans have the 'sky' version in S/M half price at present. Are the sky ones exactly the same?

Anyone had any success in removing/covering the sponsors lettering?

Ta

I have one, they're a race fit so one size up is recommended if you want to wear layer.

Strictly a race cape, would recommend the classic wind or rain jacket over it.

The reduced price ones are last seasons, the new one is cut differently and has arm zips.

I've got the Sky one- due to affordability reasons.

I find that base layer+jersey+Cape is pretty warm, I can't see wanting to wear more.

Bear in mind that I was wearing a hard shell jacket to commute in up until a couple of weeks ago.

The Sky branding is reflective- pretty effective, nightmare to cover and apart from the brand it's quite useful from a visibility perspective.

Ah yeah, mine's the last year one with the insane option of cutting the cape into a short sleeve one.

A racecape trimmed just above the elbow is a useful thing.

Race cape is the best jacket ever.
Race Cape > Pro Team Jacket > Wind Jacket.

No good for fatties though.

There are prolly still loads of Sky Wanker ones going cheap on eBay from the sample sale....
I almost bought the Sky national champ race cape at the sample sale to sell on ebay, but I thought to myself 'what kind of twat would really spend money on this'?

Whoever did buy it, sold it on Ebay for £285 the following week.
LOLZ.

Never underestimate the value of a rare or unique piece of Rapha kit.

Anyone have a cream rapha cap in small they want to sellz?

Sure. £285 plz

. nothing

anyone haz 3/4 cross bibs in medium they don't want?

are these fakes? Would like to order some.

Nope they a real - just sold at the Chinese outlet

As everyone is asking - anyone want to swap me something (brevet/jacket/gilet) for a long sleeve pt jersey? Black and white obvs

I don't know about this year but my 2013 pro team jersey is made in Lithuania... I can't understand why the outlet should be in China...

I think that may have been a joke...?

I'm always quite slow to get jokes :)

This was what I thought when I read the new one has zips. Sadly it doesn't have zip off sleeves - it has zip up cuffs so that you can put it on easily in a race. You still need scissors

30% off base layers until sunday

anyone have a refer a friend code to put on top?

^ Refer a friend is officially no more.

Will be stocking up on baselayers this evening.

Have i missed the Rapha Classic Bibs vs Assos T Equipe S7 conversation? LFGSS, please influence my purchase decision

I think the Assos have a more compressive fit. Both have great pads of course.

Performance/cost sees Assos win I reckon. But it all Depends on how they fit you.
