Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

You've not seen my Maratona jersey then (from 2000). That provokes ridicule and laughter whenever it's seen.

Agreed. I took that picture on the Tour of Wessex. An awful lot of sartorial balderdash.

I bought a Belgian champion jersey from @Bainbridge . I look like a massive twat in it. If I wore gear that corresponded to my fitness and skill on a bike I would be draped in Aldi sale rail

I'd wear a jersey with that on.

FWIW, I think people should wear whatever they want when they ride.

This.
If you want to sew a patch on your top, go ahead. Internets doesn't need to validate it for you.
Who gives a fuck what anyone thinks about your sartorial elegance. If you're too cool for school eBay it otherwise, crack on.

Always best to keep a copy on file, just in case.

I loved that jersey.

Oh come on. You're at least uniqlo.

Thanks. You still got that ex team Ridley ?

Well. I still own it Dan's stashed it. I sell the caadx and it'll go in the shed. Dunno what to do with it. Use it for voodoo or something.

All sizes of grey PTTJ back in stock. Which is nice.

Are the winter gloves worth the money, or anyone got any alternative suggestions for a decent warm and breathable glove?

Anyone got the core rain jacket? Thinking about getting one as I need a jacket that is both waterproof and that packs down small. This seems to be a bargain in terms of Rapha stuff and looks pretty good too. Anyone had any experience with how waterproof it actually is? Gonna be doing a lot of Audax/long rides this year and would like to stay dry if the weather takes a turn for the worst. http://www.rapha.cc/gb/en/shop/core-rain-jacket/product/CRR01XX

It's a bit boxy but not bad. I have found the Race Cape my go-to jacket this winter for my evening rides, with a long sleeve jersey (RCC club) it is warm enough even in sub temps.

not really worth the money for a pair of gloves, but the cut is great, and they are certainly breathable. in my experience assos fugus is an equally as good pair of gloves a bit more durable and less pricey.

ive got a pair of new Rapha randonnee shorts in 32 - anyone want to trade for 34?
