You seem to be about my size. you have any rapha gear you have sitting around that you might be looking to sell? I ended up with a large bib and large pro team, but I think I'm more of a medium in the classic.

Unfortunately I sold it all except my Pro Team kit and my Classic kit, I'm going to hold onto both, plus the pro team kit has seen some serious mileage.

No experience with the jerseys or bins, but I haven't gotten rid of a single baselayer I got a couple years ago and worn a lot, nor the half finger gloves worn every ride, nor any of the jackets. All have been used a LOT, and all are still in perfect shape. My boss has a ton of jerseys and bibs, and rarely if ever wears anything else. The quality is outstanding. If I had the dough, pretty sure its about all I would wear. As it stands, I get twinsix kits, and supplement rapha for the changes in weather and for gloves.

I know that if I had the cash, I'd probably go for Assos or the high end Castelli stuff like Bodypaint bibshorts, but I really want to try the Rapha Pro Team.

Somehow I wish they had some different armband color choices though (and maybe on both arms). We'll see what styling they have next year.

I will say I have had almost no issues with my club jersey, essentials case, merino base layers, socks, my pro team jersey and classic jersey. I'd consider those items again.

It looks like collection was a about size mine is. What products where you having problems with?

Twinsix is quality stuff too! I love their kits. All the twinsix stuff is on sale at competitive cyclist right now. Just bought another jersey yesterday.
