Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

if you can't make the morning bundle, I suspect leaving it a while and hoping you fit an XXL will be the way of things

I just bought the pro team mits....too small sohad to send 'em back, but they looked very nice. Pricey mind

Although props to Rapha for the free return and the very easy interface on the website to do this and request a bigger/smaller/better size

I am doing the early shift there, see you there if you make it wiksie.

When i've been before, there has been plenty in all sizes throughout the weekend. It seems that stuff gets added at random times. That said, i'll be heading down early tomorrow.

Doing? Working? Cool, I'll be the girl in all the Rapha :)
And how early is early, which is kinda what I was asking.

I fancy swinging by this as I need to go into town tomorrow anyway. Need some socks. I'll be the one with all the hair.

but where are you all heading to? Does anyone know where in the brewery the 'loading bay' is?

Just to warn the lawless among us, there were some clued-up rozzers stationed on Brick Lane last time dishing out tickets for people riding the wrong way to get to the sample sale.

^forgot they did that last time. Thanks for the heads up

I was planning to be there about 9am. I am expecting a queue.
I will be in a white and red retro harlequin jersey

I hope it's nothing too major Bobbo? Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Nothing too serious; tonsillectomy, shortening of the uvula (that's the dangly bit in the middle of your throat, not the bit round a nipple as I thought), and they cut 2 slices out of my soft palette. I now think that my chronic snoring may have been a better option, especially as it never really bothered me!

WTF?

is there anything you want me to pick up for you? i will be going to the opening of the sale on Thursday so may be able to find some bits - PM me a list inc sizes and colours of what you are after

Thanks for the offer to be honest have decided to HTFU and go along tomorrow! If I cannot face it Fi has offered to go for me at the weekend seeing as how I'm putting myself through this for her benefit!

If one were cynical you could see this as an elaborate ruse! But seriously Bobbo, get well soon. Unfortunately, my selfish sister in law has her wedding booked for this weekend, so I am unable to help with Rapha stuff. Anything else you need, we are all here to help.

Feel your pain, however it's not like she's a proper sister! ;)

Prancer is a complete sucker that spends all of his free cash on the latest pink-rimmed nonsense valued customer - I imagine that this has the odd benefit other than spending all of your extra cash on nice, but overrated and too pricey kit.

ROFL

ah found it now, panic over.

I am planning to get there before 1pm with cash, will it be a waste of time from anyones experience from last year?

How much is stuff reduced to, I know it is cheap for rapha does that mean it is still £100 for some bib shorts?

Prices from last time were Jackets £60, Bibs £50, Jerseys £30

Ahhh now I see why people get pumped about this. I might pop along Friday and Sat then if they add stock every now and then. I need some bibs and that coffee machine

A friend was at the pre-sale tonight.
No bib shorts and no rain jackets (at least in L size anyway)
but plenty of tops - eg: the zip up merino track tops are £40

• plenty of winter tights
  

here's the price list people!

there is one communal braincell at prancingmousetowers

missminniememouse clearly had dibs on it

I went with a list so I wouldn't do anything silly, did silly things anyway. stuff in M was so hard to find that once I discovered something I felt I had to buy it. Balls. still, went for pro team jersey in white, left with one. didn't tick much else off though.

I did spy a size s bomber jacket at the back somewhere though...

did they have loads of mitts
