  • So from the rumblings, if I were to go to Rapha tmw, could I actually afford some kit?

    I think its an exclusive big spenders thing.

    So you can only get cheap kit, if you could afford lots of it when it was pricey.

  • Or just regular Defeet gloves. Cheap and effective.

    Probably best. Just starting to find mine a little too warm (not sweaty yet).

    Good thing I can get the DeFeet that you can use with touchscreen mobile.

  • My touring shorts situation has been resolved. Thanks all for the help offered.

  • I also don't know of I'm a m or l in bibs so will be flogging something soon.

  • You're a fatty, so large it is.

  • So...what was available??
    I had an invite, but thought a trip to London on my girlfriends 30th birthday not a wise decision.

  • I also don't know of I'm a m or l in bibs so will be flogging something soon.

    you'll be an m, with the longer leg. I'm an L - you are significantly thinner than I am.

  • So...what was available??

    and is it worth going for those that have accepted the invite but not able to go until the early evening?

  • you'll be an m, with the longer leg. I'm an L - you are significantly thinner than I am.

    Do they do different leg lengths? I bought some M Classic Bibs recently and they are right down to just above the kneecap, so I went to the Condor store and tried on the Small pair and they didn't seem much different in length - I'm only 5'7" mind, but its a bit annoying.

  • I'm 5'7" and a 31" waist and a medium is slightly small on me. In a really nice way when Im on the bike. But theres always a 'shit these are tiny' moment when I put them on.

    That's how cycling clothing are supposed to fit. Bibs and jerseys need to be snug and fitted. One needs to take some care when putting them on so as to not rip the threads holding the pad. They are for riding and not sitting at the espresso bar. You don't want your jersey fluttering in the wind. You don't want your shorts to have any creases... in fact you want a bit of compression in the thighs...

    Lots of Sky stuff, dozens and dozens of t-shirts, more xs gloves than you can shake a stick at, some jackets, some jerseys, lots of trousers.

    The women's section looked like it had lots of the range in all sizes.

    Thank you. The missus will be pleased!

    Nerged

    I didn't know this. I shall have to investigate.

  • Yep, long version for gangly twig-limbed people. Sadly not an option I'm ever likely to need to investigate.

  • Free shipping on orders over £50 until 11 April!

  • Really dont need anything but now thats tempting....

  • Well, that took me by surprise.

  • So so tempted on the PTJ now but cant afford it!

  • It's getting warmer dude.

  • And despite what the splash image at the top says, there's no longer 30% off the winter jersey. Pet lip, big sulk, buying nothing.

  • It's getting warmer dude.

    Yeah but at least id have it for next year. Still doubt they will have any left now.

  • You're right, there won't be anymore sales from Rapha forever.
