Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

People itching to get their order? Think I saw a courier heading up to Rapha on the way back from lunch, they do same day delivery right?

I don't give a shit how long it takes to get to me, but I would like to assist in reducing their deficit...

site works fine for me, or is it a special place of the site? I'm seeing most of their usual stock with sort of 20-35% off, is that the right bit?

Windproof shirt for £80 from £130 seems alright.

Some of the discounts bring it from rapha prices to, erm still above Finnisterre prices, so I'm good.

I'll stick to being too poor to own any rapha stuff :p

They are also doing the sale instore.

All the items i wanted weren't in the sale :(

the items i wanted were in the sale - city trousers, socks and the merino t shirts!

guess what size i am in the pro team bibs?

xxl, chubs.

how did you guess?

oh wait, so are you?

i am hopinh M would fit me in bomber jacket which looked quite baggy (comparing it to castelli stuff I have)

DJ: the City Trousers. How does that Cordura 'seat' work aesthetically. Looks a bit odd on the website. How do they compare to the standard trousers?

Fuck it - just pulled the trigger on a rain jacket, country jersey and club jersey.

I can't get the site to load... does Soho shop have the socks on sale?

Not tempted by anything in the sale. Is it just me, or do those primary coloured jerseys with white stripe and Rapha logo look a bit dated and cheap now? It seems that every time I see someone wearing one, they're chubby and slow. Negative association undermining the brand machine? Meh.

Interweb security time - Rapha's password management is shit, so I would avoid storing any personal details / credit card details on their site.

....a lot of the stuff is still over priced tat.

I mean sure they are considering the cyclists needs.

So Why not pay 3x as much as you would normally coz it shows you are a serious cyclist.

"an urban classic" "packed with cycling features"

I'm tempted at half price, you should be too.

Wank.

**yes but... **

... want stripey woolly socks

Would you say 'not so nice, and a little pricey'?

I have also invested in a bomber jacket and some nice socks.

Got any t-shirts you can cut the arms off?

I'm waiting for the sample sale for that. I'm not paying more than £5 for something I'm going to immediately destroy.

I have an ex like that.
