Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Hoping to spend some of my Christmas loot on the classic winter jacket - Nice, but pricey (chartreuse not in the sale).... I don't suppose there are any valid discount codes floating around?

Surely Wapha pram is only moments away, ergonomic handlebars, cyclo-cross specific tyres

Did you stop by? Is there much in the way of Large?

We’re also launching our own range of saddles

So I assume there just rebrand a bunch of fizik?

It's so they can update the terms of their warranty on bibs, jeans etc to "must be used in conjunction with a Rapha seatbone support device for warranty to be honoured" and save a fortune on repairs.

thank you :) all signed up

Heading over today will report back if/when I pass through..

Great thanks.

Looking around they seem to have a decent selection of sizes, small, medium, large. Even with the sale sale stuff. Lots of jerseys and city riding shirts and jumpers.
Decent selection of brevet and winter jerseys..
Upset that the deeply discounted black leather Town gloves fit my girlfriend and the evil green only half discounted leather Town gloves fit me.
Feels like it's worth a visit even though they don't have the pro team padded winter bibs I was lusting after..

Thanks for the mitts dude.

Now I have them I am wondering if a medium might have been better than a large. It's marginal, but if an exchange is possible...

Does anyone know about exchanging items bought in Bicester? I assume you have to go back in person?

Pro Team Insulated Gilet vs brevet insulated gilet?

Got the Peaked Merino hat in the sale. Fits nicely under the helmet, warm enough, first I thought THAT little thin thing is it?

The latter.

I have the PT insulated gilet and the brevet insulated jacket

I can't compare the two gilets directly but both jacket and gilet are excellent.

How are the Pro Team Neoprene Gloves as a winter glove? Went for a spin today at -1c without gloves and did not have a fun time... Not hugely keen to spend a bunch at the moment though as I've a few other things to get...

They're down to £30 on the site...

Neoprene

just say no

:(

So stick to the Winter Gloves?

neoprene is horrible material for cycling gloves IMO .. doesn't breathe well so both gloves and hands stink

Makes sense...

They’re great, but only for racing. Perfect cross gloves but pretty unsuitable for anything else

Neoprene smells, I’d rather be cold.

I caved and ordered some Northwave Arctic Evo 2.0 gloves... Probably not going to exhibit them at Pitti Uomo but at least my fingers will work.

Neoprene is excellent but only if it’s raining and not too cold. Most other manufacturers market them as rain gloves.
