Some pretty nice looking tops are being introduced by the looks of things.

I really fancy about 10 of the new things. Oh well that's my Xmas list sorted, hopefully I'll get one!

    Wish I had the figure to carry off Rapha stuff. My wallet, on the other hand, is glad I don't.

    Every piece of cycling gear I've bought is pretty damn tight, it's giving me something to aim for. Commuting through winter coming on!

    You seem to be on a one man mission to keep the cycling industry afloat.

    Not on the new stuff that's not been released yet I doubt. Although I'm sure there will be some voucher codes kicking around.

    All the new stuff is just the paul smith stuff from last season in different colours and no longer paul Smith. What a gyp.

    Sorely tempted by the "Comic's" subscription offer -Free long sleeve Rapha jersey, it's got a small Cycling Weekly anniversary badge. I buy it weekly so maybe.........

    I love Rapha gear, have quite a bit of it - yes it is expensive but well designed and more importantly, made to last.

    And the merino socks are worth the money IMO. There is good merino and bad cheap merino.

    This is a super Rapha pisstake, for the haters:

    Do you have the Tourmalet jersey from last year which read (in French) 'perfectly average' instead of the intended 'perfectly passable'!?
    Sorry but Rapha is a w@nk brand

    Thanks - most amusing. Better than the "that thing you like? It sucks" attitude.

    Gosh, how dare they not consult you about their pricing and designs! they must have forgotten that you know everything I guess. Here's a tip for you: dont like it, dont buy it. Why oh why do people like you get so wound up by rapha?

    Do you sit outside branches of Waitrose/Ted Baker every weekend ranting at the customers that its really no better than Sainsbury's/Next???? And it apparently is still fine for assos to charge over £200 for some of their stuff; the rapha haters never have a problem with them, £400 for a pair of bib shorts anyone?

    only if they're called imatwunt.RUs - i'm loving their new naming scheme almost makes me want to buy some.

    In other news I have yet even more Rapha, it's almost a 50:50 split now between Castelli & Rapha :roll:

    Alas these latest editions to my bulging cycling waldrode were purchased at full price by the mrs :?
    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.

    Step away from the computer and take off the Rapha specs - it's nasty. Really nasty! I'll grant you some of their stuff does look nice but that thing is horrific!

    How can you not like that? It's right up my street, whereas some of the other things aren't.
