Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

What are the shortest bibs?
Got the flyweight bibs - short which are fine, but the bib straps a bit annoying and it’s already split (need to send back for repair)

I imagine the pro team in general are a bit longer?
I find the core bibs borderline too long.

Rapha refunds seem to take weeks not days. Not good IMHO

Will Rapha release new winter kit this year?

That seems to be normal during sale period.

Is there a jacket out there that can match the rain jacket? For all day riding in rain strangely enough?

Especially at 95 quid?

Has anyone ever used a cycle 2 work voucher with Waffa?
Wondering how returns would work 're their inconsistent sizing and tings.
Can't wait to see the new AW stuff though.
I like shiny new tings I do.

We are about to be "re-educated" to pay full price...

(Also commiserations if you work for Rapha and this impacted you).

Where are all the saddles? Failed marketing move?

Speaking of saddles, I finally got it testing on my road bike and I must say kudos to Rapha for designing and manufacturing a lovely piece of components. I would say fits my bum like a glove but that wouldn’t really make sense. But I’m super happy with the cut out.

The only thing I would complain, especially if I paid full price for the saddle is that I’m quite disappointed with the cut out finish, as the material fabric doesn’t wrap around the hole consistently.

Which one do you have? I've been hesitating for long but grabbed myself a classic one on the last day of sale. Pro saddle looked way better but comfort wise looks like classic is way to go.

On paper both of them looked really good in terms of weight and material.

Got the pro cut out version (145mm)

Isn’t it just a relabelled fabric?

They may have manufactured it, but Fabric don't current sell a 145mm cutout saddle.

From what I can remember a while back I think it was selle.

Definitely an Italian manufacturer, 'cos that's what they said, and almost certainly Selle Italia, yep. It's definitely not a relabelled Fabric saddle.

IIRC its sella,

anyone used MEAME ? their biker jacket looks pretty awesome and on sale....

exactly - gets some really good reviews - and even not as an outandout riding jacket, looks pretty good as an everyday waterproof.....

So, er, sleeping bags?

‘Sleep systems’

I wanted the little coffee cup but I was on holiday and I think they’re all gone now. Any chance of more?
What’s going on with the site? Loads of empty categories. Nothing in RCC kit for example
