Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Yes but a bike is still one's own property.

I don't like people touching my mouse - not because they might damage it - I just don't like it.

Or standing too close to me and sticking their face in mine for that matter.

Your honeymoon night is gonna rock!

20% of Rapha classic bibs:

CLASSBIB12

might be of use to someone - even with 20% off there's a reason why i haven't bought them - my wife would murder me!

"As you haven't yet tested Rapha's award-winning shorts, we're offering you a 20% discount code for a limited time on a pair. Just enter the code below at checkout.

CLASSBIB12"

made from luxury lycra..hahaha

if you're not 100% satisfied after 30 days of riding, you can return them for full refund or credit

does this mean i may end up buying someone elses 30 day used sweaty arse bibshorts sold as new?

Only if you got to one of their regular sample sales.

You may jest, but having spent far too much of my cycling career following people wearing cheap white cycling shorts, I think this is worth promoting.

Along with their base layers and socks, the Rapha bibs are one of the few things in their product line that are worth the money.

They're extremely comfortable and last a very long time.

And they don't show off your chocolate starfish to anyone sucking your wheel.

^ we can all be thankful for that.

edit: Have you ever considered a applying as a copywriter for Rapha, Andy?

RISING12 for 15% discount code if the 20% codes have expired...

Just bagged me some bibs.... Cheers for the code. I've promised myself some for over a year.....

+1 some scarily see-through shorts out there. Red shorts also seem to be particularly bad. Wiggo's supplied yellow skin-suit in the Dauphine literally left nothing to the imagination and my housemate was terrfified by his trouser-snake winking at her

There was talk in this thread a while ago about saddle pouches, and how there aren't any good ones on the market. Prompting the importing of the Timbuk2 ones which are a bit awkward to fit under a saddle.
Well a guy came in to my work the other day with a really nice one, so I asked him and it turns out he makes them.



He does loads of other bags too and sells them through his Flickr

Fuck me - that's like a sleeping bag for Scoot!

TdF 20% code still works. I just got some 3/4 bib shorts.

^^^^caffe nero loyalty card but not a lmnh one? hope you kicked him out...

Nice one, just bought a rain jacket with the TDF discount - £38 quid off!

Still a bit pricey though?

I have a daft question: I'm a uk 8 and am wanting to buy the merino socks, however this means large and I am keen to avoid having mid calf socks. Does anyone else fall on the cusp of size changes?

I'm a uk 8 and mediums are fine. socks are stretchy.

Ace, I thought so. Thanks for confirming.

Still works, still expensive

Just went into the shop.

The jeans have sharp-edged metal studs on the pockets, not a good idea as they can tear your skin up when hitting the road. They should have talked to some skatewear people about that.

Then I looked at these 3/4s and trousers with a diff material around the crotch - looked really good, then realised they have massive seams right where they shouldn't. Duh.
