Anyone a member of Rapha RCC?

[R1gtr]

Hoping someone is a member as I really want one of the long sleeve tops but they are member only and can't justify 125 notes just for the right to buy!
If anyone is would they fancy ordering it for me (pretty please) and I will send them the money!

I was eyeing up the kit in the sale but then realised I can't actually buy it

If I lived in London I'd get my money's worth of free coffee but sadly the store in Zürich was only a pop-up for a month and they don't seem to be opening a permanent one

Surely if you're not a member of said club (which I cannot fathom why anyone would want to be) wearing the kit is a bit random? I get it with pro teams and the like, but its a bit odd to want to wear a club you're not a member of's kit?

I really like the grey and pink striped jersey. It's not like wearing pro or other club kit as any fat monster can be a member as long as they stump up the fee, I agree it's strange to wear 'club' kit but to me this is just nice looking kit with no club affiliation to 99.9% of people, not like wearing 'Doncaster Dongslayers' gear when you've never been there.

I get what you are saying but basically it's a 125 pound membership to be able to buy exclusive tops and limited edition stuff, one of the long sleeve jerseys is lovely and is down from 110 to 59 with discount code

Where's the resident poser 'Johnny' when we need him?!

i live next to the rapha shop in spitalfields, they gave me a free club cap.

no fking idea why anyone would pay to join,

I am a member ..... solely for the reason that I travel to New York a lot for work and use their hire bikes while I am there, the membership fee is super cheap compared to cost of hiring a similar bike so works out great value for money. I don't live in London so don't use any of the rides or clubhouse stuff.

Fancy ordering me the jersey below in a 'large' for me and I will bank transfer the money?
If you use the code 'EXTRA-TEN' you get an extra 10% off!
Cheeky request I know!!

Well, quite

I have looked at it as I like the kit. And I'm a bit of a tt. But not sure how much use I'd get other than paying to be able to buy the kit.

Mrs Johnny works 2 mins away from Brewer St so I suppose the free drinks would get some use when I meet her. But then I usually head the The Crown for a Meantime...

I'd like an RCC headset cap too...

Had mentioned it to the wife as a possible birthday present but now would probably rather the money went towards an Enve Bars & Stem combo tbh.

[okgo]

Enve bar and stem combo, probably about the biggest waste of money in cycling BUT even I think that is a better use of the cash in this instance

[Johnny]

But it's soooo pretty

[Granfondo]

I get a slight feeling Okgo doesn't like Rapha!

[okgo]

I do like some of their kit and bought a couple of subtle items in the sale, just think they've taken the whole thing a bit too far with the club.

[R1gtr]

For the record this does not make me a FPKW!
I also have a hankering for a fancy Stem and aero bars but was looking at the 3T stuff!

[Johnny]

Yeah, I like the 3T stuff too. It was that or Enve for me.

[R1gtr]

If anyone wants an extra 10% off the rapha sale or any rapha item try the code 'EXTRA-X'

[Johnny]

I was just coming to post about an RCC jersey that is making me consider membership only to see it's the very one you've posted above!

Love it.
