    These pretty much epitomise everything I was ranting about above.

    Seriously, WHAT?

    Warmers rock. As dies the Montane Velo jacket, rolls up to the size of a cricket ball. Fab kit.

    Agreed!

    I have one in lumi yellow, awesome bit of kit, got mine for £25 when je James had them on sale - tempted to get the one that's not a jacket, more of a pullover thing, as well.

    Not much I can say about the armwarmers above that hasn't alrady been said :lol:

    Agree about the velo jacket except they pack smaller than a cricket ball!

    By the way Jash, surely in the real world you have to addmit that buying a Prince is JUST like buying Rapha: you'd get there just as quick/comfortably on/in something half the price ... but they are really nice. And if you've got the money - fair enough.

    You can't really, with a straight face, claim either offers true value for money by objective standards. Unlike say a velo jacket or a, say, Planet X pro carbon. Just as it would be tricky to argue that a Ferrari offers value for money versus, say, an Imprezza.

    I do appreciate that Rapha stuff is not really up to your standards of tartiness and colour coordination though!

    Cheers,

    Dear God.

    WOW those are lovely!!! :D

    I am currently on a mission to girlify cycling but currently this only extends to wearing my red cycling skirt over leggings, nike rifts with a pink swish on them a bit like these http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b146/ ... MG0434.jpg
    by hair (actually long braids) streaming out from under my helmet and erm
    my flowery Basil pannier bag.

    I think i actually just look like a muppet from Sesame Street but who cares!! I like it!!"

    I am now on a mission to make a cycling dress and those arm warmers would work very well with them. Plus I have seen some lovely Addidas trainer boots things which I am determined to hunt down.

    So there you have it!!!
