Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Anyone fancy Rapha Merino Gloves (orange merino, black leather) - I literally never wear them, worn like 10 times. £30?

Size?

Ah sorry, XS

Oooh. Too small. Phew.

6 1/2 minutes off winning a grand ! Oh well .

Wore my softshell base layer today for the first time.

It was great until I tried to get the sweat saturated garment off then nearly suffocated myself and got a trapped nerve from the Houdini-like contortions I had to undergo to remove it.

Should come with some kind of safety warning-by the time I got it off the oxygen starvation combined with the exhaustion to make me think I was coming out of the womb again.

I very well may put this review on the rapha website.

Speaking of which i had a howies top that houdini could not escaped from . I said as much on wiggle and they removed the review .

In actual summer yes. At the moment, no. So you're probably not get to wear it as much as you might like but I've been glad of mine when it gets proper warm.

can't! you need a link/invitation and as I got mine in the clearance sale I wasn't sent one. ah well...

6 1/2 minutes off winning a grand ! Oh well .

Not even bloody close....le sigh.

Do not size two down for anything. Super bad advice.

16 seconds off. I was screaming at them on the Poggio to get a fucking move on!

I had an each way bet on GVA as well. Would have paid out on 1st - 4th.
He came 5th.
Arse.

Nothing to see here.

I'm so tempted by the cross onsie.

No idea why.

If the 15% voucher had worked i probably would have pulled the trigger.

Remember to size down according to reviews.

thanks scoot! definitely going to pop in. will miss the 10% though

can anyone ID this cap? it's in a rapha video, it looks like dataprint, so I'm assuming it's rapha.

sweet. she is going to be a very well attired complete novice :)

That looks like Swastika key work, not Data Print.

You might have some luck searching Japanese brands.

I'm a PT jersey L, and a M in bibs. Was going to go medium. I fecking short so wouldnt want to risk the shorts not being pulled up correctly.

But I have no need for a cross onsie.

Loads of want though.

Recommend me the the best glove for a probably wet night ride over Easter? Thinking Pro Team Neoprene Glove?

Yeah neoprene is what you want, they'll keep your hands warm. Back when I was actually riding my bike in January I got fed up with it being cold and soaking every weekend so bought some Castelli Diluvio gloves when I bought my Gabba. Work a treat.

The Castelli gloves can be had for £20 if you shop around/have the right size hands but I guess you want Rapha.

Actually given full price for the Castelli ones is £35 I'm surprised the Rapha version isn't more.
