I'm growing tired of people quoting 'the rules'

[i]Just leave the price tag on, that'll give everyone a good laugh.[/i]

Not to worry. They've just increased the free postage threshold from £150 to £200. Yes, now its free postage on orders over [b]£200[/b].
Suppose you could always order a spare cap to avoid the postage charges....

rule #5, blossom

thanks for exercising rule #19 there blossom

No, its a picture of a lolcat.

Why all the Rapha hate? They're targeting a certain part of the market and they seem to be doing a good job at it. If you don't want or can't spend £[s]40[/s] £30 on a cap, don't. But don't come on the internet and bitch about it.

Failed attempt at rule #43

[i] If you don't want feel as if someone is taking the piss [s]or can't spend £40 £30 on a cap, don't. But don't come on the internet and bitch about it.[/s][/i]

I don't necessarily 'hate' Rapha, but they do seem to take themselves very very seriously. Then, as they are successful, other companies tend to follow the market trends and market leaders, all of a sudden it's moody black and white advertising featuring overly earnest man and women with 1000 yard stares and solo 150mile rides in the rain

It's a bit, yknow, dour

Rule 99, you muppets!

It wasn't just you trolling Solo. But carry on, might want to see someone about that chip on your shoulder though 😉

rapha come across as taking themselves way too seriously, consequently so do some of their wearers. That combined with their pricing and faux heritage makes them ripe for p1ss taking.

To be fair, around Oxfordshire many of the [url= http://www.zappis.cc/ ]Zappi[/url] kitted riders I see make Rapha riders look positively joyful and welcoming.

Have free Morvelo cap that I try to use under road helmet for sun glare avoidance but it's either too low or helmet rides to high on head.

It helps me feel superior/look like a **** - I suspect the latter.

Ah, I think I see your problem. You appear not to understand the phrase "I don't give a shit".

We like our rides like we like our fonts. Sans serif. If we have something to say, we will say it in Helvetica overlaid on a picture of us looking off into the distance, pretending that our photographer didn't just say, "Look off into the distance like you're thinking deeply about something!"

[i]Keeps your head warm when it's cold.[/i] - Buff
[i]Keeps rain out of your eyes whens it's raining[/i]. - Glasses
[i]Keeps sun out of your eyes when it's sunny.[/i] - Sunglasses
[i]Keeps sweat out of your eyes when it's hot.[/i] - I'll give you that one but there must be other ways that make you look like a muppet! 😉

Life is serious Son, life is. 😆

I spent [s]£30[/s] £39 on a hat. It's a tweed one. 😛

I much prefer a Buff. Same function and look waaay better surely?!

S'ok, you're among friends 🙂

Why take 4 items onto the bike, when you can take one 🙂

[i]The Rapha ones are hilarious imo [/i]

If you think this is funny then you need to get out more.

I actually LOVE the way Rapha is just a massive piss take of gullible fools.

Bloke turned up to our local sportive having spent probably £millions to become a mobile pink advertising hoarding for them. Asked if any public toilets about, as the portaloos were 'ghastly'. Nobber. Bet that's not what he wanted a cottage for anyway.

Don't really understand what you're on about but are you always so judgmental?

And what does this 'Bet that's not what he wanted a cottage for anyway' mean?

What clothes do you wear on the bike?

I agree with him, I hate using a portaloo at cycling events after all the energy bar munching Mamils have been through them.

Makes mental note to use the word Ghastly more often

There are some frightful prudes here.

Not as much as the Il Pirata bandana Rapha are giving away (you know what I mean) with the Pantani tribute jersey.

I will not say if I own this.

I have some and wear them whenever I want to. Best in the rain, but I like to pop one on when I've had a few....God knows why?

They have been and always will be a steaming heap of..............

But here's me wearing caps and I think I look pretty great.
Sun..

Oldgit - you do look awesome. Seriously hope I'm in as good shape as you when I get older.
