Argghhh, just ordered another top I dont actually need 😀
Long sleeved cross jersey, gotta be a bargain if it fits...
I went for L on basis that I am an XL in Sportful, which is really Castelli for the penny conscious 😀
well, t'other half emailed them and got a credit note for the recently reduced jersey AND a jersey she bought about a month ago that has just been reduced, so is a very happy bunny. Who is obviously shopping for ANOTHER jersey now....
Bugger, thinking they might be on the tight side I went for xl but need a large. Doubt i'll get a large though as they are out of stock of the jerseys I ordered so probably end up with a refund 🙁
Anyone got their stuff yet? Ordered on the 7th here but still showing as processing. Guessing it's pretty busy at Rapha HQ. Hopefully get my winter tights while it's still cold enough to wear them!
Is Rapha the new Howies to STW'ers...?

Got a dispatched notice, so don't worry.

If so we must have lost a bit of weight.
I've been completely spoilt by Wiggle/Merlin, no sign of my jersey. I checked out as a guest so can't see whether it's still processing or not.
Rapha the new Howies 😆
Only when it's Sale time SOnney Jim, only when it's Sale time 😛
Mine arrived today - maybe a day or so slower delivery than normal but I'm guessing it must be mentally busy at Rapha dispatch!
I went for a Large in the Cross Jersey cos I know how "race-fit" their higher end tops can be, thankfully it fits perfectly, I need the length in the body and arms and Rapha is one of very few brands that cater for that without making it really baggy.
hora -

Only if it gets you frothing into one of your little hissy fits.

Got a dispatch note on Saturday morning, should be here tomorrow. Their deliveries are never that quick, but can't complain as its free.
We missed our parcels Saturday, collected them today. They were no doubt flat out dealing with sales business.
I'll be keeping the Cross and the Country jerseys - different thicknesses so obviously need both 😉

Come on Hora, you're a roadie now, get yourself some Rapha in the sales 🙂
*twiddles thumbs*
6 days and counting. I wouldn't mind (so much) if the postage was free

Order x amount to qualify for free postage, send back what you don't want as its free returns. Be sure to order a size that's nowhere near your size or you may ending up keeping the extras.
Mines been dispatched 🙂 Reminds me of the olden days of mail order and having to wait at least 30 days for delivery. How did we ever survive?
Mine arrived yesterday. The cream merino V neck baselayer is great but not to be worn on its own - no matter how hot. I think cling film would be less transparent.
Dispatch email yesterday, race is on mrblobby, hope mine comes before yours 😉
Ordered Thursday, arrived yesterday. CX Jersey. Despite the warnings above, seems a similar size to my old Classic jersey, though noticeably a bit shorter in the body.
If anyone ordered the cross jersey in a medium, but thinks they may prefer a small, I'd be interested in a swap.
It fits me nicely, but is quite short in the body for my longish torso.
if not, I'll send it back.
Woohoo, mine has arrived. Just got back from a ride in the cross jersey (under a jacket, small was perfect) and the winter bib tights. The tights have a weird asymmetric stitching thing going on which was a little puzzling when putting them on, all good when riding though. The loveliest bit of kit is the winter base layer, but didn't use it today.
Monkeyfudger, you got yours?
Just back from a ride to my Cross Jersey too. Was going to buy one at full price. Bargain
More stock in the sale btw
Country jersey down to 60 as well
Bugger, a short sleeved base and the long sleeved jersey ordered. Please stop the sale! 😕
Ha, you're an addict, step the **** away! Yeah mine came this morning (I love HR woman's sour face every time she brings me down a package, it makes the purchases all that moar awesome), not tried it on yet.
I don't need anything

A couple of tempters but nothing quite enough to get my credit card twitching. Is those Cross jerseys came back in stock in a large however things may be very different.
Ive got large cross Jersey coming but not sure if I'll Keep it or send it back - let me know if you want it.
Gutted they reduced the long sleeved country again. Feels top quality though. XL comfortable fit on me - 6ft 13 stone ave build with a stone to lose off the tum.
pryally, yes, let me know, I'd be very interested if you decide to offload it.
My medium Cross jersey came today and sadly I think it's a bit too short.
Shame as I'd already ordered more medium stuff. So I've now ordered more large stuff too.
Good job I didn't have an expensive Christmas.
tinribz - I'm a shade (1cm!) under 6ft and 11.5 stone - do you reckon I should go large in the country, I was going to order medium
chakaping - how tall/wide(!) are you if you don't mind me asking?

5ft 8.5in - shortish legs and longish torso.
32/33in waist
The cross jersey does seem to me to be more towards continental sizing, but with long arms.
Chakaping - if you haven't sent the medium cross jersey back yet I might well be interested, is it the ls one?
Cheers,
John
Oh man I LOVE Rapha kit and can't fault them refunding me the £15 difference on a jersey I purchase in Nov that was put in the sale last week. however it has just been reduced by ANOTHER £10!!!!! ARGH .. shows how much money they make and NEVER pay full price.
I must resist the merino wool base layer.. I must resist ANYTHING in my size on this site 🙂
I am a Rapha addict and I need help
Munqe-chick, your pain may soon be over, final reductions now apparently.
Phew that'll teach me next time to wait until "FINAL REDUCTION" day as they always have XS in my size left and if they don't I didn't need it anyway 🙂
large cross came today, perfect fit, although would echo comments re slightly long arms. 5ft 10, 12.5 stone, longish back,
My medium cross jersey arrived today. Looks and feels like a nice bit of kit. Sleeves seem a bit long but I think I'd rather have that then them being on the short side. Also nice to see the jersey has a few features such as the pump sleeve that were not mentioned on the web site.
Interesting to read that so many people have been refunded the difference from goods they ordered earlier in the sale. I got a ls brevet jersey and see it has been reduced by a further £45. Tempted to see if they will refund the difference especially as I'm probably going to order something else that I really, really, really don't need.
tinribz - I'm a shade (1cm!) under 6ft and 11.5 stone - do you reckon I should go large in the country, I was going to order medium
I don't know how big medium or large is, but sounds like a medium would 'fit' but maybe a little short given other comments.
Couple of things ordered for the inner hipster in me 😀
tinribz, I'd go medium for fast training and large for Sunday coffee runs.
Lantern Rouge there is no MIGHT about it! Get on that email to customer services, they'll give you a voucher code.. perfect justification for that piece of kit that you want but don't need .. as you have a voucher which needs using! I now have £45 in my basket waiting for something nice to spend it on got 12 months to use it too 🙂
Winston, buy both sizes, qualify for free shipping, use free returns on the one you don't want.
They initially feel a bit short in the body, but for me that works out perfect once on the bike.
