Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Are the trade team jerseys the same as PT jerseys but more garish? It says 'based on'... Price seems right for a good quality jersey, even if it is a tad garish.

In case someone wanted one of these but missed out in the sales

With a mere £10 mark-up?

2x Randonee shorts, socks and merino hat ordered, unfortunately the free delivery over £100 became a bit of a target...

But by spending an extra £20 you saved a fiver. Win! ;)

Is the "Team Sky Long Sleeve Vintage Jersey" the same as this (but with Sky branding and 3 rear pockets)? Without the Sky logos it'd be better. If it's the same as the 2013 Long Sleeve Merino Jersey, for £30 it's probably the best item in the sale.

Nah I paid £100 last week, they dropped the price today I think

The Trade Team jerseys are terrible. Why pay money to look awful? Here's a better selection, or get an Assos jersey on sale somewhere:

Castelli stuff is grim looking IMHO. I personally quite like how some of the trade team jerseys look, I was wondering what the quality is like.

While we're on the subject - are the club jerseys rubs?

Was planning a trip to the outlet but can't go now sadly.
Anyone going kind enough to pick up a XXL classic black jersey I would be eternally grateful!

I like my club jersey a lot - is the sportswool stuff they're made from rather than something more lycra-y.

agreed, i have one. For £30 you can ignore the SKY logo.

I got bought one for a present, and to be fair, it's very nice.....when you wear it, others may mock, but you wouldn't notice......

Just drown out the mocking by wearing some Rapha headphones.

Who would mock?
Cycling folk? (Who wear inappropriate Lycra and look rudiculous to the general population)?
Or the general populous who wear bad trainers and wear McKenzie guff from Sports Direct?

People still do this? I thought 2009 was over!

Took a punt on that Sky Vintage Jersey. Missed out on the black LS PTJersey!

debating whether I can wear purple shorts, simply because said shorts are merely £30

Or canary yellow

Hmmm

I debated that too. Decided I could rock the purple shorts look for 30. Not the yellow though. Not quite that secure yet...

I decided that yellow > purple but as I'd wear them on the bike they'd invariably get black stains on them within a week.

Reaction from the office is mixed

Having the shorts dilemma as well...

the only justification is that you could try dying them black

I got both. They rock.

Yellow will be modelled at Easts tonight.

How 'pastel' is the yellow? Could I get away with pretending it is a 'light beige'?

It's more Canary lemon than beige.

Comments yesterday included fuck me they're yellow and pass me my sun glasses.
