Rapha -What to Buy

[400bhp]

You could wear it to rob the local post office. At least you would be doing it in well made kit

rob it to pay for more Rapha tat?

If i was to choose only one bit of high end cycling kit to have then i'd go with shorts.

However there isnt much in the way of size choice available in the shorts they have reduced to £100

In amongst the banter,

Get the fingerless GT gloves for summer. Fabulous

A suggestion.

Thanks, it's good to a recommendation.

And thanks to 400bhp and jayonabike

Had a look at the gloves, I am going for the deep winter gloves, hmmm, no, I am getting the GT gloves

I have 2 winter base layers which were bought for me at Xmas. Both brilliant and fantastic quality. The winter base layer which is Merino wool costs £80 I think and the deep winter merino base layer is £100 but has full balaclave and thumb cuffs. I have to say that Rapha may be expensive but some of their kit is brilliant quality and will last for years. baselayers can be worn whenever not just for cycling ....

Did someone mention Rapha?

I have been given a £100 gift voucher for Rapha, what should I buy?

I usually buy from Decathlon or Sports Pursuit, this is a whole new world - £70 for a belt!

perhaps one glove - whether to choose left or right is up to you

Now it's getting complicated, the deep winter base layer sounds good, especially as I will be working in Poland next month they told me today it is -15

Cost me £90 to fill the car up today, makes a Rapha top good value.
