Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

The VersaFit Long Sleeve Jersey for £519 is very competitively priced

-15% your first order so not that bad

Is Rapha killing off the wind jacket? Options in Brevet but nothing in the other ranges.

If only they did a men’s version, would likely find favor with the £40k Kitchen buyers..

Women don't buy 40k kitchens?

do they buy £379 gilets?

do Men?

Guess that depends on availability of £379 gilets.

I’d be tempted to just work out the 15% and then use that to buy the kit I wanted but appreciate that comprehensively outs me as insufficiently aspirational.

I will be speaking to myself, aloud and on public transport, about realigning my priorities

RIP Armbands, fuck Walmart

When did PT aero have armbands?

Pha Rap

In alphabetical order?
EF, L39ion la, RCC, Rochette, Roxsolt, Team sky…

Life in colour!? Maybe if you live in the beige of Bromley.
Thank god the PTT has lost the silly wide bands at the end of the sleeves, which is what that jersey is. I can’t see a new aero on the site or proteam. The “non team(s)” aero jersey hasn’t had an arm band, if not ever for a very long time.
The aero was my preferred jersey till the Sturm jersey I tried made me feel very much like an overweight mamil so hopefully just an outlier and not a new reality.

Good example of consumer statement AI qualitative market research handles perfectly.

Specials and team kit

Will AI force me to move to Bromley?

PT aero hasn't had an arm band. Teams are different because it's iconic Rapha so it goes on there for visibility. Same as how the logo on EF is the classic script logo. All other pro team uses the pro team font.
Team kit is advertising.

Rapha moving like a punch drunk boxer with a gambling habit

There are pt aero jerseys without arband

Is the new design approach to plaster huge Rapha logos on every item now? What happened to the subtlety and finesse.

Tbf I've got a rapha rain jacket from about 3 or 4 years ago that has a white logo on the back the same size as that.

This is from 2016. What's your point?
