A rapha discount code for newbie who needs hot weather gear

Kupepe

Hello,

Is there a discount or free delivery code for some gear i need to buy? I cannot use my winter gear anymore due to temperatures and I have no summer gear since I started cycling in winter. I am interested in buying a Rapha discount item that will not make me eligible for free delivery.

Any help?

Or you could buy clothing that's not ridiculously priced...just saying... Being in Rapha won't make you a better rider.

Or you could get a a Torm top http://www.torm.cc/index.html

Same style, same fabric, same quality ......half the price (or less)

Some of it looks the part but that's just it ... It 'looks' the part ... Too much effort trying not to be Rapha whilst obviously copying the concept ... A bit like asking the Mrs to dye her hair and go on a diet just because you fancy your mate's wife ...

I sprayed my Volvo gold and wrapped an action man in baking foil and tied it to my grill.... I now drive a rolls Royce! Or is it a Volvo sprayed gold...

I prefer a clothing manufacturer to have a style of thier own if you get my drift.

Now ShuttVR have a good style going on, repect to them.

I do like Rapha too. Many say style over function, but (although eye wateringly expensive) the clothing has some superb design features that enhance functionality to another level.

I always try to buy on offer, or seek items on eBay, where someone else has had the ahem 'depreciation' first.

However, I would say it's each to your own, you pays your money and makes your choice over everything in life. If we all liked and wanted the same thing the world would be a very boring place.

I would never berate another for wanting Assos, or aldi

Another week another Rapha slating.

I dunno Crankbro - Torm's jersey's aren't a bad imitation. I've got a couple and whilst I like them a lot - it feels a bit like driving a Skoda, when you'd rather be in an Audi. You know there's a lot of similarities under the bonnet....but the Torm lacks a certain je ne sais quoi..which I think is perceptible only because I've tried Rapha's more merino-rich wares. But they are great value for money and mine do a lot of commuter miles. I would recommend.

I have a couple rapha tops - its great but mad prices. Just taken delivery of a Torm jersey the quality looks comparable with Rapha. It's getting it's first outing today!

I have stuff from Rapha, Shutt and Torm.

Jerseys from all 3 are very good, but given the price I would go for the Torm - they really are as good quality as anything. The others are both excellent but in my opinion not worth the extra.

However I have some Rapha bibs (a present) and they are so much better than any others I've owned I would he willing to pay full price for replacements. Assos are meant to be fantastic, I just haven't tried them.

For jerseys at rrp I would happily go for Torm.

I've a raphael sports wool top. I'd not use it for hot weather though.

I've one of their Lycra event tops too. It's just a top - no better functioning than any other. Really only worth paying the premium if you're really keen on the design.

(and if you're keen to save on p&p why not save a lot more money and just buy a cheaper top - it'll cost you a fortune to buy a few tops for summer - you'd be better off spending it on things that can make a difference ?)

I wear Rapha clothes. Is everybody sniggering behind my back? Ive tried to give them up but just cant seem to kick the habit. Ive tried other brands and even Rapha substitutes like Torm and Shutt but they just didnt do it for me so back they went. Im not fat, or a banker, or a dentist but Im hooked. And now shoes! What am I going to do? Can anybody suggest where I can get help?
