Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

no queue. nothing I wanted :(
spotted dan though.

btw, orlebar brown sale around the corner if you're into "classy" beach shorts

TBF I would love some of their 'Bulldog' shorts but I suspect even in the sale they're beyond me.

No queue when I left 20 minutes ago. Lots of gloves/mitts/hats along with club jerseys and country jerseys and trousers. Fair number of merino tops. Baselayers mostly gone.

^ This, and a nice track jumper.

If I picked up anything that doesn't fit I'll pop them on here at cost; mostly small and xs stuff.

That's a nice offer.

I wouldn't say no to some L/XL mitts to replace my frayed old decathlon slips but east london + schedule doesn't fit this time.

£45. Not too bad.

Sorry Kris I couldn't get you a jacket. Wanted one myself.

I spoke to guys inside and they said that there's no jackets. And even if there are they'll be only a couple of them and either tiny or very very big.

Anyone want to swap some large arm warmers for some mediums?

you have larges and you want mediums?

I have mediums... they are damn tight, but I think they're supposed to be like that. maybe. I had some that came with women's medium jersey last year and I think they were smaller maybe. I can't really imagine I have 'large' arms. Sorry, waffling...

Very pleased with the women's club jersey, short sleeved, half-zip, mesh sides. Got the blue.

I panicked about Rapha being designed for whippets and got the women's shorts in a large which are far too big in the, er, front crotch area. I hope they look/feel less ridiculous on a bike than off. I am going back to boycotting Rapha.

I wear mediums in the shorts. I actually find it's the opposite - I'm a high street Large, but a Rapha Medium... you might be able to persuade someone on the door to do you a quick swop if you go back? there were loads of shorts... or last year there was no queue at all later in the day.

hmm... I really should see if I can swap but I am so lazy. I will try them out tomorrow, by which time it will be too late to do anything about it and I can spend the rest of the month whinging about having spent my monthly food allowance on clothes which don't fit. good to see you briefly earlier by the way!

Yes, you want swaps?

just tried them on again, and no, I don't think the Ls would work. sorry. there were quite a few white Ms though...

oh, hello anyway!

Budgeted for £100 and spent £90 = £215 'saved' if I'd bought the 4 items 'properly'.Arrived 9:40 and got in at 11:30 - I haven't queued that long four years.

Was it worth it ?

Arrived at 10, left when I saw the queue...Came back at 2, queued for about 10mins... 20mins later people were walking straight in off the street, no queue...

so what did you do to empty the place - was it an old man fart?

Any reports from todays queue? I'm planning to pop in later on (if there's any stock left)

I'm in the queue now. It is short but still taking a while to get in. Hopefully they have restocked this morning. Will try and update on here

If they haven't it will be a sea of hats and arm warmers.

what's the bike parking situation like?

Plenty of country jersey in all sizes, mixed up gloves. All the PS shit stuff and hats. No queue now. An can lock bikes up round the corner
