    Saw it at the Bike Show but don’t need another jersey, and under £60 posted. I have the Ibex base layer, arm warmers and 3/4’s and it is all quality stuff.

    Now come on guys, I’m starting to get offended here…

    I’m 6’1″ and weigh 11 stone 0, a 31″ waist and 40″ chest and Rapha jerseys fit me perfectly!

    Good choice on the Colomba top though, they are very nice.

    The Rapha one is probably designed with middle-aged spread in mind 😕

    Be interesting to see what you think – the only drawback I find with wool is the pockets sag if you have anying heavy in them. Other than that I think they feel great and are usually fine for the British summer and with a base and arms get you through most of the year.

    We’ve got a 100 per cent Merino prototype jersey in to try out, but haven’t really been able to put it through its paces yet. Going to get out in it over the weekend and see how it goes – it’s not scratchy around the office – so that’s a start! 🙂
