have I dreamt it or is there a pink rapha waterproof jacket in a kind of baby pink in a mans size?
I looked on their site and couldn't find it but I'm sure I saw on being worn by some lucky beggar on the etape.

There was lots of nice black and pink kit being worn - looked like team strip of some sort.

    I think th epink one was the Rapha Stowaway. Not sure if they do it in pink anymore though they might do some more nex year?

    I don't recognise the kit in the photo so it may ba a kit/race specific strip.

    HTH,

    I can confirm that there is definitely a pink Rapha waterproof, the stowaway jacket, but it is a previous year's model I believe and not available in the new range.

    You might find something on eBay, a lot of Rapha gear seems to change hands on there due to unwanted Xmas/birthday presents etc.

    How did you get on in the Etape anyway?

    I've seen the pink Rapha waterproof.

    It might look better on you, Popette, than on the fat beergut and unshaven bloke I saw it on :lol:

    cheers chaps - I'll start trawling ebay.

    I didn't do the Etape dodge - had to watch this year due to minor heart problem. Should be fixed in a few weeks though :)

    Really sorry to hear that Popette, I haven't been on the forum for a while so wasn't sure whether you'd got the problem sorted out. A real shame, but I guess you now have a whole 12 months to prepare and really nail it!

    Hope it gets sorted soon for you!

    There was indeed a pink Stowaway jkt. Might be worth emailing Rapha in case there is one still in stock. NB. It's a v.waterproof jkt with some nice touches but not the most breathable. Ideal on a long cold descent or v.heavy rain.

    Re that kit - it clashes with his shoes and helmet. :? On the Nove Colle this year a group of riders from a club went past with the female members at their centre and resplendent in Pink club kit whilst the men wore blue - looked good, but 'azzura' looks good on the ladies too :P

    It might be worth ringing a couple of the shops that stock Rapha, i.e. Condor or Sigma Sport down here in London, as they might have one in stock still.
