Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Summer Embrocation
New. Mild warming agents, contains sunscreens, includes mica for a pro sheen.

Pro sheen..... We're talking fake tan here... FFS..

I bet you've ordered 10 pots.

this year i am already getting a tan just from working out doors

one less item to buy

The road to pro mailshot is utterly fucking ridiculous.

A tan in this weather...I'm dubious

However I'm not sure why you would but the Rapha Condor Sharp kit as the while reason I (personally) buy rapha is due to the lack of walking advertisements. Why not just buy the plain pro jersey? Or is that just me

the RCS kit gets a healthy price knock at the end of the year for a garment that is the same fabric and cut?

Same cut, fit and materials but they are both £140

I bet you've ordered 10 pots.

I tried but I'm told you already bought the entire stock.

I'm in.

Ffs just seen the new mailshot and the exciting news of a new colour of oversock "charteuse". Kinda reminds me if the flouro socks that were all the rage when I were a kid.

If what I heard about the new skincare range is true Mottram is definitely cray-cray

They should do an anal sex lubricant.

+1. Wac.

If you read the Rapha brand as having absolutely no sense of humour or self-awareness then you might take that away from that article.

It seems clear they are now at the point where they are knowingly taking the piss out of themselves. Which is good.

City Wind Jacket? Gash

Surely they can't be seriously meaning that drivel??

Fucking stroll on...... Ha!

I find my Birkenstocks mated with rapha winter socks show my sartorial elegance and 'pro-ness'..........

Irony, sincerity, whatever. As long as the cash keeps rolling in.

I think they became a pastiche a while back. Whether they've gone full circle and are back in genuine we'll never know but they're laughing either way so who cares.

Tbh what little rapha I own is pretty wank. I think maybe the pro team stuff is good but I don't like sponsor logos.

I would have assumed mica wasn't for fake tan - rather a little added sparkle. 'sheen' sounds like it equals 'body glitter' but less glittery. is a 'pro sheen' more aero?

Pro-sheen...sounds like something I'd spray on the dog to make its coat shine.

Hahaha!

Sadly, I can't be bothered to make the dogs shiny.

Heck, I rarely bother with my own hair.
