    Base layers are available in their sale - as and when they hold it. Normally rent a shop to get rid of all old stock for a couple of days. As you can imagine its queues out the door the whole time and an elbow fest once inside.

    Prices plummet though.

    Meant to say - last one was Dec / Jan time I think.

    Is there a time in the year when Rapha often discount their baselayers?

    I was hoping it might be the height of summer, but nothing yet.

    No problems.

    It is actually a good thing, as i said to myself : No Rapha for me!

    I'll stick to Shutt VR :)

    Thanks!

    Hey - no worries.

    Fully aware of the ponce element - it is best to steer clear! Unless you get a chance to hit one of their stock sales. Great deals to be had on some stuff if you can find a size. Sadly - medium stuff tends to go before the public get a look in.

    Got one of those to swap if any good at all. Slightly more blue on the front. Says Large, but more like a medium.
    Worn once, too small.

    Thanks - I'm keen to swap out Rapha for Rapha though.

    I have just taken the Rapha lads up on their downsize offer, moving from large to medium and lucky me - they've let me keep my old jerseys too!

    So I now have 2 large jerseys pretty much surplus to requirements. Was going to ebay, but thought I would shout here first. Keen to swap for medium sized items, dependent on what people have and are willing to trade.

    I've got the club jersey (yellow, white, blue) and classic black. Both in v good nick, no fraying threads, fading or anything.

    Am open as to what I might swap for from the Rapha range - old and new assuming similar value when new.

    Let me know over the coming few days if interested - am Etape-ing from Friday so excuse any slow responses over the weekend. Otherwise will ebay next week.

    For the old white ones, unfortunately I've always found Cif or similar cream cleaner to be best t removing marks. Scrub hard enough and you should lose the deeper black marks too.

    The stickiness is not a sign of wear as far as I am aware - just a result of the clean up.

    Maybe some finishing spray or something might reduce the stickiness?
