  • Offffs I was just in town this morning killing time and completely forgot about this. Chances of picking up some summer jerseys in M/L?

  • currently stuck at home feeling ill

    could anyone pick me up an x-l check shirt (long sleeve) black pref

    I got me one of them on friday. Got rang through the till at £5. It's actually just a very nice shirt, forgetting all the cycling specific gubbins

  • Just been back for more base layers, picked up a nice long sleeve cross jersey and lovin' the Rapha trousers, even tho' a button just popped on them, wtf?!? The softshell I picked up yesterday is probably the biggest bargain I've ever had the fortune of finding... I would never have paid full price, a tenner is more than reasonable...

  • @teenslain are there more trousers there?

  • Lots of grey 34s, lots of grey and black 36s, 38s... Think I got the last black 34s... They may restock tho', there's shitloads of stuff there... I've totally done a 180, I love Rapha now...

    This. I didnt know the sale was on. A mate took there after work.
    The crowd were rabbid:

    YouTube - The Price is Right - Contestant's boobs pop out.

    Like it or not, for the smarter end of the spectrum their gear unquestionable. Loving the merino stuff. And to think I was so so so close to buying a bomber jacket at full price three weeks ago...

  • fuck. Sorely tempted to rush off now and pick up last minute bargains. Is there anything in gimp size?

  • How big is your gimp? I like mine chubby.

  • Just got home with a pretty good haul, got there at 11.50ish and no queue at all, walked straight in. got busy pretty quickly though.

    Winter bib longs £40
    Lightweight jersey £30
    L/S Merino jersey £40
    Leg warmers £5
    Arm warmers £5

    having tried it all on the l/s merino jersey is massive compared to everything else. has about 2 inches too much fabric for me on the sleeve. wish I'd gone for a medium now but it's too late :( bit confused as the lightweight jersey in large is perfect on me. might have to put it on a 50 degree wash and hope it only shrinks a bit :/

    That and the BRP hip pouch I picked up afterwards has made it an expensive day for me.

  • the merino jerseys are a bit bigger, definitely.

    I have womens M cream armwarmers (they came with short-sleeved jersey) - does anyone want them? might be an excuse for me to turn up to drinks or they will post easily enough and I don't mind spending a stamp if someone will use them.

  • rapha sale plundered: check

    :D :D

    How big is your gimp? I like mine chubby.

    My gimp size is skin, bone, and a little sinew I'm afraid. Sorry.

    I reckon I got about 6 things for the price of 2...the bibs, softshells, baselayers etc were pretty thin on the ground. Which didn't bother me, so I stocked up on some summer goodies. Now I feel dirty, even though Rapha is *so *clean.

  • I feel dirty too...

  • I'll be offsetting my dirtyness by wearing my torm baselayer underneath my new jerseys :]

  • so has it ended or will it continue tomorrow?

  • I feel dirty too...

    Thank you for your kindness (and for spreading the dirt).

  • Rapha, nice and not pricey.

  • Thank you for your kindness (and for spreading the dirt).

    No sweat, I'll be out and about in town all day tomorrow so holler at me... I'll put the asset in my bag now... :]

    careful, rapha have issued cease and desists for less than that.

  • They've been on the receiving end of one themselves recently, hence the stowaway now being called the Rapha wind jacket.

    Those who live by the sword should be prepared to die by the sword*.

    *DJ'll be along shortly to defend them.

  • I quite a fancy a pair of the trousers but can't make it to the sale. If someone is going and can pick up a pair of them, size 32 in black for me then I'd be very appreciative and buy you at least a pint. Thanks.

    Andy I picked up a pair of black 34, I am a 34 in Gap jeans but the Rapha trousers were more like a 32 on me, if you like I can send them to you to try on as I think they may well fit you?

  • How's the sausage intake been recently, Martin? :P

    That's very generous of you. What I might do is nip into Condor this week and try on a pair, then if they are okay I'll take them off you. Sound reasonable?

    Ha, since Borough Market was squeezed into the other areas I have not really been, so it's done me a favour... Yes sounds like a plan, let me know how it goes. If not I will really have to cut down on the Rioja as well.

  • I might take them off of you if Andy is too skinny (more than likely!!)

    If you want to sell them that is...

    really glad I put the pair I picked up back down in that case.
