Rapha
 
For anyone with deep pockets, Rapha is on sale here but given the prices it ain't that much of a sale...

I think the fact that so many items are on sale just goes to show that the average cyclists has enough common sense not to spend $140 on cycling gloves or $40 on a cycling cap.

That $180 rider's journal made me LOL.

The $56 fixed T-shirt is a great bargain. It's normally $70.

So cool...so cool...

I must admit their cycling cap is kinda tempting. Does anyone know of other manufacturers who make logo free solid colour caps?

I'm thinking "The Riddle" might want to look at those Rapha Leather Grand Tour Mitts

I can't remember the web address I *think* it is http://smeear.co.uk. If not head over to http://www.londonfgss.com/ and look for smeer or RJM(thisisrob) they will do hand made caps to order check out his flikr account http://www.flickr.com/photos/smeear/ . I am sure they will post over to the states if you ask. Tell him TheBrick or Tommy sent you to him so if he gets lotts of orders from here he can give me a reduced price hat ;) . I know these are not solid colour but just ask him for solid colour.

www.walzcyclingcaps.com

Their prices have skyrocketed in the last year or so though. I think they're up to 11 or 12 bucks a cap now.

Looks great, thanks CrushKill! Does anyone with a really huge head (mine is 24") have experience with those caps? 24" is right at the top of their quoted range so i worry that the cap may hot come down far enough.

Thanks too TheBrick, I will keep them in mind after i move out to the uk in January.

I have a pretty big head (wear a large - xtra large helmet) and got one of the walz caps. It fits but as my wife puts it: 'It makes you look a lot dumber than you are' or 'Wow, you look like a pinhead!'. It also wants to migrate to the top of my head because I am straining it so it does look pretty dumb and it won't stay put. My kid wears it now (he inherited the big noggin).

+1

WTF is wrong with people? Who is that ********&rich at the same time, to drop ($230) $184 for a freakin' notebook?

I guess it's the same kind of jerkoff that would spend $20.000 for a night in a suite in the Burj al Arab in Dubai.

Walz will make a larger hat for you if you email them - at least they would as of about six months ago.

I don't have a huge head, just a large one 22.5'ish and their "one size fits all cap was too small for me. So I ordered a larger one and that one is a bit loose.

me too. I don't know what I could possibly have to put in a journal that would be worth $180.

US$230 RRP for a notepad?

'****-ha'

C Law 09-07-07 09:21 AM

not a notepad. A riders journal.

MIN 09-07-07 10:50 AM

The notepad and "training bags" are gimmicks - for sure. But their jerseys and shorts prices aren't out of a line with Assos and other "premium" brands.
