Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Ordered bank holiday Monday, dispatched Wednesday.

Yeah i got the dispatch notice yesterday, crisis averted.

I'm not chucking stones but usually if an order is delayed it's because there is something wrong with the address so they have to be manually altered.

One ex-Arsenal footballer has been using an 'o' in his postcode instead of a zero for the last 2 years.

Chamakh?

Yeah same address as i've always used, probably just bank holiday hang over.

Whats the sizing like on the climbers shoe?

I need a 44 in my S-works but a 45 in a Sidi, i tried a 44 in a Giro Empire which was slightly too small

It's Giro sizing.

I wear a 40 in Giro and my Climber's shoes are 40.

Great thanks, that probably means i need a 45.

I have the same size in s-works and climbers

Same here. We are the minority though. Most people go half a size up.

will order 44.5 and 45 and send a pair back to your good self?

Feel free to do so.

What happens to bib shorts/jerseys/jackets returned as part of the 30 day classics guarantee?

Burned, given to staff, ebayed?

Not eBay. Most are recycled for fabric.

Cool. There's a guy at work ordered some shorts as his first taster of 'high end' kit. He's pretty sure he's not going to be swayed and won't be keeping them. I was just wondering whether enough got returned for it to be an issue.

Most are recycled for fabric.

At what age does the Indian gentleman usually grow their moustache?

There's a barber in Satwa in Dubai who only does two haircuts. One of the haircuts requires you to have a moustache and the other style doesn't. One style is preferred by Indian gentlemen and the other by Pakistani gents. A Pakistani will not ask for an Indian style and vice versa.

Fascinating really.

They use the fabric from the seat of returned bibs to make the nose wipes for their mitts.

Dixon? He's about the only ex-footballer I know of that likes bikes. I imagine most prefer running bikes over in their ferraris.

My housemate's playing in the jazz band at Rapha's Tuscan mamil-camp. Waiting for news on paunches stuffed into £200 bibs.

They have a jazz band at a training camp?!

It's rapha, of course they do. Apparently also bowls of gels lying around everywhere.

Why the fuck wasn't I booked for this?

Jazz. Jazz horn isn't so cool.

They have a jazz band at a training camp?!

Have you seen the prices?
