Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

^ Looking for bibs takes 5 minutes. Waiting in line to get in takes an hour (at least that's about what it took me on the friday afternoon at lunchtime last time).

humm... thought as much.

(to both posts).

Will it actually take +1hrs if I went at c.11am? If that's the case, I guess I'll just go early on Sat.

My sense was the wait can be highly variable, depending on when you arrive. I suspect first thing in the morning and lunchtime are the bulge times with longest waits.

Yes, they do an invite-only pre-sale the night before the main sample sale opens. I managed to crash it last year because I was in the area and dressed in a lot of rapha.

Most of my rapha kit comes from sample sales - tru fax

Are you gonna be there on Fri Jamo?

I am going to go down early as I have fri off, then off to LMNH for a coffee

I really need a wind or rain jacket from sales if anybody feels generous.
Aks Joe, I paid him the last time for the trousers, so you can count on me - I will send you the funds via Western Union.

I wanted to buy one the other day only to find out the survey code expired.

You mean your spare Rapha kit you keep in your garden shed?

What are the odds of them having the Grand Tour mitts (white), the Paul Smith long fingered track gloves (white)?

I'm taking the afternoon off work for this, there had better be a women's small white wind jacket left or lives wil be lost.

Worth re-iteraring for all those planning on attending - take cash, you'll avoid long queues at the tills if you do.

Sssh, I want to keep the cash queue down.

He buys up all of the sample sale stuff so that his own personal brand is not diluted by hoi-polloi-Rapha-wearing-Johnny-come-latelys, (or Riff-Raph, as he calls them).

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Tiswas again.

Am v happy with my rancilio siliva and rocky combo. But missmouse managed to get the Rapha/Chris King tamper for my birthday.

Group buy? But then we'd need a clubhouse to put it in...

ouch, that's like an extra 300 euro for the same coffee machine with the words Rapha written on it...

Without them it would be just a Thorm machine.

I nominate my flat to be the club house.

What time are the other victims arriving tomorrow morning?
Happy to queue, but don't want to be too victim like, obvs,

I'd forgotten this was tomorrow... tempted.
