Rapha -What to Buy

[Supersuperleeds]

I've taken delivery of my first bit of Rapha kit. My Rapha 500 Festive swimming badge I wonder if my mam will sew it onto my swimming trunks for me

£100? Obviously there is only one thing to buy...

(they don't seem to sell gaggia to go with it)

You could always add £95 to your budget and get the bargain brevet jersey and you'll get a lightweight gilet free

thread tl;dr so potential TMN going spare here.....

If you have to ask "Rapha - what to buy?" you can't afford it. Sell the voucher to someone who can. They'll probably give you £150 for it.

I'd get the shorts for £75 notes.

Buy 8 large bidons.

They are leakproof after all.

To fit in with my mates, I ended up ordering a Rapha gilet, it was £100

I have the Classic Jersey, it's really really nice (also part purchased with a Christmas present voucher), adds nothing in terms of technicalness and I know they are stupidly expensive but it adds a feel good factor to my rides that is hard to quantify. I actually want to go out on my bike more so I can wear it!

In the future I may get a pair of classic bib shorts to complete the outfit but that's a fair bit of saving up away!

If someone's given you £100 to spend anywhere it's all good in my book . FWIW, I have the winter jersey and the winter collar, both of which are very nice bits of kit.
