PSA Rapha sale – further reductions

^^^^^ just ordered a winter base layer 🙂 that I didn’t really need !!!

Lol good luck racing in a hardshell.

Lol indeed, just because it’s race fit doesn’t mean you’re going to race in it 😆

Ohh just got the DHL SMS to say I can collect my parcel in a place that’s nowhere near where I live.

Ordered Tuesday arrived in Sweden on Friday. Excellent!

Yeh I just ignored that comment the first time mrblobby. I presume he doesn’t know what ‘race fit’ means in terms of cycling clothing and was trying to be a smart arse 🙂

CX specific jersey?……

It’s just a jersey really. Got their CX pattern/motif on bits of it.

It’s also got a padded right shoulder, presumably for lugging a cx bike ???

Does it not have a Joan Collins style shoulder pad on one shoulder.

ok….

Pad is probably overselling it. 3mm bit of soft, stitched foam is more like it, but nice thought.

Jeans and winter base layer have arrived, very nice too. Super fit and lovely detailing.

Hmm what else is there to order?

^^ Haha, silly bouy, theres loads of stuff 😆

I bought an xl and xxl cross jersey but the xl is a bit tight so going back. If anyone wants an xl email me.

Do I dhl it back – I am in spain but back in uk within the 90 day window. Just printed the returns page
at work.

Even the wee pretty wrappers that the clothes come in are quality.

Hooded rain jacket on its way to me 🙂

My wife saw me looking at it on my ipad and said ” that looks nice, you should buy it”! Nearly choked on my coffee – she must want something!

What sizing like? I’m large in Gore stuff. Looking at the wind jacket.

Poolman how tall/wide are you?

My medium country Italian Jersey arrived today, fits me just about perfect, however I needed to buy a large in my Castelli Motorola jacket to get the best fit, not got my Rapha hooded rain jacket yet but I ordered a M & L to try both.

I’d say they are pretty true to size for the average rider, I believe the race wear stuff is designed for skinny roadies

6ft and 14st here – so no skinny roadie but the Rapha sizing charts suggest I’d be a large. Just wondered if they are accurate.

I’m 5ft 6″, 32/33″ waist, 40″ chest and 11ish stone, not weighed myself for years n’ years so no real idea but clothing size is same as 15+ yrs ago

For ref. I’m 178cm with 101cm chest and weigh 77kg. Large is spot on for me,

For the larger rider, merino hoodies @ £31 on eBay.

(From Rapha, not a knock-off seller)

Cheers, DrLex, ordered.

Is it this one? 😛

It’s something like that, yes.
Only mine’ll be grey, xl and it’ll have a slightly straighter back. Hopefully.

Thanks drlex, XLG in grey ordered.

Great psa drlex. Not sure i will look quite as hipsterish as that man up there though^^.

ive got a couple of them, icluding the purple one up their, great items, think i paid full price for mine as well,

Middle aged men in Rapha

Hipsterish! I thought the picture post was a piss take until I scrolled down and saw the awful Rapha turn up trousers and shoes! eek….. remind me why I love the brand again? 😉

Jeez, thought I’d finished spending but that’s too good a bargain to pass up so had to have a grey xl myself… These were £160 originally !

Damm this thread, I’d avoided looking at the site till last night. 🙂
My only hope is that xxl is too big.

6ft 3 90kg usually an xl but the xl rapha cx top was just about ok on the shoulders but short on length.
xxl spot on.

Just bought a grey XL merino hoodie ! This thread has cost me a small fortune 😆

I suspect it may be a bit large, as the L cross jersey fits perfectly….

Gotta love this thread…

For years you lot have bashed Rapha on so many levels, then all of a sudden a Sale comes along and you buy the stuff and find out its bloody good stuff.

Ohhh the ironing.

🙄

Judging by the amount of Rapha on display on the roads today I’ll say that quite a few people have taken advantage of the sale.

Ohhh the ironing

Why does this phrase grate with me so much? When I imagine folk who use it, I imagine them having a ‘you don’t have to be mad to work here, but it helps’ poster in the background.

Define you lot. Every stw forum user ever or the specific posters on this thread? As someone who has had bits of Rapha in my wardrobe since 2005 I hope I’m not rolled up into ‘you lot’. There are surprisingly a diversity of opinions within the forum – it’s actually not a ‘hive mind’ (my 2nd least favourite internet phrase).

Cancel that i really dont need any more clothes lol

Convert mate you need to start giving less of a **** about things

Stuff arrived today. Never bought from rapha before – its all nicely wrapped isn’t it. Country Jersey feels and looks superb as does the winter base layer and the hat fits under my helmet a treat.
Obviously its all far too nice to get muddy though…….
