    Yeah bib shorts were a non starter in all sizes really. Shame!

    Damn, just had a meeting request for 5-6 land in my calendar and I won't be able to get out of it. If anyone is there and sees any large jerseys (or a women's medium for the missus) and wants to make a pint or two profit for their troubles I'd happily take them.

    Just 1? Any preferences of the ones I linked to?

    There was a fair amount of L'Etape jerseys but, in my view, not ideal unless did the Etape!

    pangolin, one jersey in L, whatever they have left (ideally pro-team/classic but white country or any club bar the green). If they have any women's jerseys (any colour) in a medium I'd love one of those too to get brownie points :)

    pangolin, thanks, you're a star! I'm driving back up north this evening but can pop round and pick up the stuff en-route if that's convenient. Let me know if so and your address/how much I owe you via PM.

    No probs. Sent you a PM I think, though it's sat in Outbox rather than Sentbox. Err. PM me if you haven't got it!

    I spent almost over an hour queuing from 8.45 - 10.10 before getting in, it was one out and one in, so the chaos was controlled. I haven't queued like this in years, I blame the internets. :)

    Loads of PS jerseys in purple, PS tshirts and Track tops (in red). Guy at the door said they would probably restock on Saturday, with more of the same stock.

    None of the new range was in the sale ( understandably ).

    Anyone going from this forum going over the weekend? Please pick me up a pair of size large white Track gloves, I would be very grateful! Linky http://www.rapha.cc/rapha-plus-paul-smith-track-gloves

    Went back at lunchtime and landed a club jersey, Paul Smith winter jersey and some 3/4's so I'm happy.
    Now sat in the Worlds End in Camden with a cold beer before seeingKasabian at the Roundhouse tonight.

    Today is a good day!

    Watch out for the queue. We went to See Paul Simon on first day of iTunes Festival. Despite being there 45mins before start of gig we didn't get in until 30mins after he came on stage and there were still people in queue. If was first day and maybe they have sorted it out but..... I would buy some beer from Morrison's and get in the queue early!

    Thanks, for the warning but I was on the guest list thankfully, 2 visits to the Rapha sale, was enough queuing for me for one day!

    Hmmm popped in today and spent £££ however I've just checked the RRP which was about £575 so I think I did pretty well really, could have gone totally mental.

    FWIW it seems Sunday is the day to go, no queues loads of stock and even cheaper, I even got a couple of freebies - now how am i going to break this to Castelli ..? :lol:
    Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
    Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
    Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
    Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.

    Went on Friday and got some arm warmers and leg warmers plus a jersey. Was tempted by the gloves but I've got enough already. The France top looked nice, as did the Germany ones. Decided though that I could only support Italy so gave them a miss. Spain was dismissed out of hand :p

    So, I now own Rapha clothing. What have I become?

    I got some leather mitts for £25. I did not think much of the other stuff on offer...lots of Spain and German jerseys which I obviously would not be seen dead in.

    The bloke in front of me was clearly buying for ebay - he spent £475 on stuff that could never fit him.
