I saw the same price and ordered a pair last night. Fantastic gloves

Do these size accurately to the size guide? XL appears to be a size 9 glove which would usually be a L in most gloves/brands.

Gore glove sizing is slightly on the small side, in my experience. Your best bet is to order XL & XXL and use the relaxed returns policy

Take a look at the reviews to get a feel for them. I ordered a pair of Gore semi-lobster gloves a few weeks ago and the consensus from the reviews was that they were one size smaller than labelled, which turned out to be true.

I want planning on going today.... Was thinking in april when i have a couple of weeks off. Mid week ride. Stay over, ride back.

DrLex

If you post up a date closer to then, I'll try and call in to check stock levels before.

8% Quidco on Evans Cycles right now. Does anyone know if it tracks in conjunction with a Price Match?

Or are the prices not that good, just playing on our weakening pound post-referendum fears?

6.9% Topcashback helps.

No and yes, same for me 90 mile round trip with the added benefit of a +30 mph tailwind all the way home, mostly

I used the club ride to get me/us halfway then sat on the front into the headwind for another 25 miles grinding it out, it was brutal but thankfully the roads were traffic free and pretty clean considering the weather this last week, lovely morning as well. The return journey might have had a tailwind but it also had considerable amounts of sidewind and rain.

Aside from the bargains the scrambled eggs on toast with bacon is well worth the trip

I tend to drop them an email before I go just to check they have what I want. Anything else a bonus.

one thing i have noticed on my trips down there, the road in/out is brutal steep and cars waiting behind you have ZERO cyclist tolerance levels

never bought from these guys - but shed loads of Small/Xsmall Rapha stuff from a few seasons ago. Frankly I thought their colours were better then anyway

http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/treasure4u-2sell

Nothing for Mr Average - a few XXLs and most is tiny roadsnake fit

I was thinking it could just be all the previous season stuff Rapha couldn't sell (on account of the ridiculously tiny sizing) but you have a point, it's also a normal Chinese clothing size...

I thought of that possibility but decided it was unlikely - if you are gonna sell rip offs then you sells mediums and larges and clear a profit and disappear. I think that it is more that it is not just last season but sometimes 3-4 years old

I too think they are legit, if you look at their feedback, and the close up pics, it all smacks of a genuine setup to me.
Have never bought anything, as they have never had anything in Small or medium that I have seen.

bendertherobot

It's real. They've been on there for years. I think they just have a relationship with Rapha to take all the more extreme sized clearance stock.

spasypaddy

but it could make a lot more money than that...

oh fuck it im off to waste a months salary

I guess they will have no stock by the end of the day then!

Not in the same league, but tool delivery of these over trousers yesterday from Merlin - £110 down to £40 plus cashback:
https://www.merlincycles.com/altura-attack-cycling-trousers-clearance-72751.html


Bought them, as this coming autumn I will be taking my daughter to school a few days a week on the Kona, and then heading straight into work, so planning to wear these over work jeans on the rainy days which are bound to happen.
Feel very good quality, and nice and roomy - plus velcro on the waist to adjust the size, and velcro on the legs to keep it away from the chain.
I am around a 34" waist, and went for a small.
