Rapha Clearance on Website

On quite a few things.

So, good deals on jerseys etc.

And, if you want to annoy someone on ebay whose price is higher, why not make them an offer lower than the RRP from Rapha's own site?

bendertherobot

Odd, they all just disappeared! Perhaps to be moved into the clearance section??????

bendertherobot

Yep, here they all are.

Cheers for that Mr Robot (didn't feel right calling you bender).

Anyone know if these were the same prices that were on this weekend at the London shop or have they sneaked them up slightly?

daviesee

Thanks for that!

My my logic, I have just spent £100.

By my wife's logic I have just saved £100.

I love it when the wife is right

There is a thread on the commuting thread titled 'Rapha Sample Sale' with the price list

Cheers Bender

They're a fair bit higher. All short sleeved jerseys were £35 for example. Went in on Friday and spent £200. Went in on SUnday and spent another £100. Got a merino Paul Smith/ Rapha jumper for £20 - they had hundreds in the shop, and they looked a bit lurid (quite bright purple) but got it home and it's actually really nice. WIsh I'd bought another. To be honest, I wish I'd bought a rake load of what they had left yesterday just to hawk on ebay. 12 club jerseys sold for £60 each would have covered my spending splurge.

Bit annoyed with myself - at one point on Friday I had 2 pairs of bib shorts in my hand (£50 each) then decided they might be a fraction too big and put them down - according to the website, they'd have been ideal.

Garnett,

Don't beat yourself up, I did exactly the same last year. Only spent what I thought I could afford rather than planning ahead. Couldn't make it down this year, gutted, sounds like there were some good deals. Least you have the good karma in knowing you left some stuff for others!

jswba

oooh, the silk scarf's down to 35 quid!

garnett

Yeah, good karma on Friday, but what about SUnday, when I saw they had shedloads of some things left! Hey ho. I deliberated about selling some of what I got, but then had a look at it all and thought - "You know, I'll get so much use out of it all".

Forgot to say already - how nice are the Rapha people? THey all seemed really decent folk. That, and the fact I've actually sen how good their stuff is now, means I'm definitely buying more.

I was going to treat myself to the Bomber jacket but loads of people got there before me and my size is all sold out. Mind you, I've got enough Rapha gear anyway (although not the silk scarf - for some reason I never did get one of those!)

Simmotino

Ooooh goody, a sale.

Now it's just ridiculously overpriced rather than stupidly overpriced! :roll:

bendertherobot

Is it down for everyone else?

anto164

i got on it, but it was a plain white background with basic text.. Like the formatting didn't load.

Hit refresh and it's down.

I am glad I got in early. Thanks for the heads up. :P
Way ahead of the customer e-mail which probably clogged the system up.

The Rapha ones are great if you like the stripy black/white (or Italian) look. They fit well if you have fairly thin upper arms (i.e. cyclists' biceps )

I heard this - potentially ideal for me. Except they were £10 in the store sale and I'm buggered if I am going to spend £25 on the same item to subsidise hard up Londoners!

bendertherobot

No idea what they are like but the Torm ones are ony £15 anyway.

garnett

Can second the arm warmer sizing comments. Bought some on Friday and took them back on Sunday. Got size Large and couldn't get them past my forearms.

rc856

Oh well....won't be getting any after all!!!
Just spent about 20 mins trying to order a pair of medium....it was on go slow, basket would empty, try to go back a page...all in text only etc etc...got back in....

medium...OUT OF STOCK!!! :shock:

Assos it is then

Watch your sizing if you have "normal" arms. My Assos ones are restrictive while the Rapha ones are more comfy (looser). I can't remember if I ordered by size or if they are one size fits all.

rc856

Went with the Rapha sizing chart and biceps make them a medium.

eBay is now heaving with Rapha in all sizes/colours! Never seen so much of it on there.

bendertherobot

Tis annoying though, very few "best offers" so I can't say ""Why should I pay you £70 when it's only £60 on the rapha site."
