Is there any difference other than colour between the kings of pain jersey and a classic jersey?

Has anyone tried using a permanent felt marker on white graphics before?

50% off sky bibs... Would consider at 75% off lol

They have all sky stuff at 50% off while condor stuff is only 22%. Hah

I've tried a few different markers on the white to various success. The paint ones work best but run a bit in water.

A few of the fabrics forums discuss removing techniques. I never tried.

At the end of the day I figure function over form and don't regret paying half the price for something that functions just as well as something that cost twice as much.

Just wait for one of the Rapha workers to come on here and tell their story about how they sent their pair of light weights in for repair and they gave them a free Jag for their troubles.

^ i love these stories.

everytime ive sent something for repair they just do the bare minimum.

From memory, I particularly like the story about the cracked logo on the pro team bibs. When asked about they were sent a new pair and not asked to send in the old ones.

I'd love to see Rapha's sales figures this year: #tanking.

That's the standard. There was a club jersey that had a red stripe. Fn pricey.

The tempest club jersey looks great, but pricey

Looks like they've pulled it?

Problem I foresee is that the base layer wont last as long as the bibs...

I'd have died of heatstroke, so no. :P

Shouldn't be any hotter with a summer base layer. Saves your jersey.

Planning my longest ride that has a possibility of showers tomorrow, 14 degrees supposedly, brevet jersey and gilet, arm warmers(?)

How do you like the brevet jersey?

You boys wearing base layers under those sweat/salt stained jerseys?

The ptj is my favourite. Not too hot or cold, fit's great, holds heaps of shit in the pockets, doesn't smell.

I do not like the yellow band on the black though, wish they would return to white.

bib and 2 jerseys in shopping basket ... still a lot of money, even with discount :(

which jerseys? i'm struggling to see past the pro team in this current line up...

ok here's when we all start stopping each other from going broke...Sorry mum I made you a card for your birthday this year....

Brevet jersey is tempting....

Any word when then kings of pain jersey will be out? Mid June?

I have the GT gloves and yes they're great. After about 30,000km they stink even after washing. I've had them repaired locally twice. They're the best by far, but the new price is out there.

The pro team gloves seem rubbish in my opinion. Not putting leather between thumb and forefinger is a major design flaw. That section is one of the most heavily rubbed parts. The GT gloves have extra padding there.

ok thanks for the tip

I ordered some pro team mitts. The missing leather on the arch between the thumb and the index finger means that section will last about a week. So I thought bugger this I'm returning them. The returns sheets says I'll get about 15 quid back for them...so looks like I'll keep them...

Interested in the classic mitts however, durable?

Which base layers are best? Merino, merino mesh, or pro team?

Can anyone tell me if their standard jeans have ever been discounted on their web site?

Yes, they have, in the sale. Evans have the sky jeans discounted in the past too. Good, long lasting jeans.

The free postage minimum putting other people off as well?

Is there any other website in the world with such high free postage?

Think I'm going to wait for the Pantani jersey and Transfer Mirror bundle.

New Rapha stuff use to sell out in a few days, now its the same day.

There's a secondhand section?

Lightly soiled skimpy shorts?

I'm now thinking of wearing a jersey with a baselayer, and a gillet. In the jersey pockets I'll stash a race cape, a rain jacket, and a wind jacket. In the gillet pockets, because they are bigger, I'll chuck in a pro team jacket for hilly tempo sections and a hard shell jacket in the other pocket. Or I might wear a softshell...

Nice.

Reckon you don't need a PTJ if you have a classic soft shell.

Any codes dudes?

Also, gear show down:

Base layer+ Pro team jersey + race cape

verses

Base layer+ Pro team jacket?
