Tweed. YES TWEED.

Next out, tweed plus fours with wooden insert?

    Well, they already do their Fixed shorts in brown with tweedie inserts! Is this tweed cap of the deerstalker variety complete with ear flaps?

    Do they come complete with a racing pigeon or would that be extra?

    SIZE IS EVERYTHING! or at least that's what my LBS tells me.

    So many with a Rapha phobia.[:(]

    I should have been a psychiatrist. I want to help. Call me if you want to talk (I'm having a 25% reduction this month).

    No phobia - It's good stuff, but if I can't laugh at myself once in a while etc.
    The spoof could equally have been written about any premium brand - such as Assos. - which would have made the toilet paper gag doubly funny!
    Those Rapha team jerseys look cool.

    Oh it's been shown before on a few threads. I'd guess that most have already seen it. Bit like they've already seen this...

    [:D] Very good! Oh dear - I won't tell you which jersey i've just ordered from my favourite City store then - curiously, currently out of stock!

    P.S: I hope that tweed's a carbon weave.

    I hope there is no budding 'Banksy' out there planning to customise the banners at the Smithfield Nocturne.

    umm not sure I should come clean... but .... I bought a rapha cap. Too expensive but very nice. Would have liked a white one with a pink or blue stripe but settled for a black stripe... I am a complete waste of time ;-).

    I quite like Rapha but I can't help thinking that the ____ _______ cap looks a bit Sir Digby Chicken Caesar.

    the rapha treated cotton cap is actually an excellent product, which keeps wind and rain off far better than a 'normal' cotton cap - which is important for those of us who have an aerodynamic head

    as for the tweed one, oh dear

    I've got a Rapha Epic cap with a white strip - helps me line up my racing line [^]
    Also got bought their winter cycling pack for Christmas - the merino socks are a bit ar$e, but the jersey is nice and the winter hat is good for when out walking in the peeing rain [:)]
    Maybe next year I'll get those œ80 gloves... [;)]

    I've just come back from a ride wearing Rapha kneewarmers and Epic cap paired with Aldi Crane Sports gilet and armwarmers (and shorts, and a jersey).
    What does this say about me?
    Both the Aldi and the Rapha seem to me to be good value for the money you pay, it's just that the balance between cost/performance changes as you spend more or less.
    Just ride the bike...
