You get caps on the collar when you own the company .

To judge by the promo video, this is the last spring riding season before darkness eternally engulfs the planet. We all take you seriously, Rapha. You can dial back on the Foreboding Timpani.

Chamois Time is Sunblock Time - skin cancer really really really sucks - a lot. Did I put to fine a point on this?

Fellow Raphaelites,
Rapha set in all caps = Pro Team garments.
Rapha set in cursive = Classic + Club garments.
Rapha set in gold cursive = Imperial Works garments.
But, what's in the new capsule collection?
Bernardo Hernandez

Now how am i going to explain all my new Rapha wear to my wife!
p.s. is that a Rapha helmet?
Alex Tellez

Interesting tease.
Some thoughts:
1) Pic 1 looks like a rain cape (<-awesome!)
2) Pic 2 looks like a ProTeam gilet which was hinted at last during the SS12 launch
Note to RAPHA: PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF TOM HANKS re-release the pro team summer mitts. I lost one of the gloves and haven't been riding the same ever since!

Is there a hint of quirkiness in the vid? I am still looking for a jersey with skulls or rock n roll vibe.
Fingers crossed, as the wallet id open!

Red version of the Brevet jersey?
Classic Ajax copy? Naah, couldn't be….but intriguing.
Not in the photos but Lightweight Bibs sound like a welcome addition…some lightweight caps as well please.

Was at the CC relaunch in Soho last night, certain new season items were on display….WOW…certainly some great new products and new colours for existing lines…
My favourite pieces….erm….Pro Team jersey/shorts in black with either pink and chartreusse detailing….
…and….the pieces from the Raeburn collaboration all looked amazing…it was said that next week at some stage we can expect to see ss13 on the site.

Joe Hall: That is acceptable. Since there is a delay with standard delivery time, it is better to finish one thing and start second afterwards. But you claimed that delay will be 7 working days (At least it is written on shipping page) but I placed my order 8/2 and still no sign of sending.
I understand that you are in the middle of transformation process but a note on page about that fact in advance would be nice. I would happily pay for express delivery if I knew that. But now? Im waiting for my overshoes and needs to ride in 0°C without them, because I don't want to order them elsewhere and send yours back - that wouldn't be fair to you.
So maybe for next time you can advise us beforehand.

Interesting that almost all of the women in the photos wear helmets and almost none of the men. Seriously guys, get over it, put on a freakin' helmet. Brain damage isn't fashionable, it's life changing and permanent.

I have just looked at the video again, and it does look like Rapha have managed to turn spring summer into winter. That maybe an art form, but for me, after 4 months of black, I am done with it. I hope that Rapha will celebrate spring and summer with a real burst of colour and energy. The peloton in Qatar and Oman were resplendent with bright colours!
Will we get something to cheer about? Rapha pink without black?
Darren Buckby
27th February 2013 08:18pm
Amazing….well worth the wait…excited about the postman delivering my first hit of SS13 kit in the morning…second order already gone in….so many nice items….
Hoping the bidons will be released in black as per the 'lookbook'…..Pro Team Jersey is next on my list once in stock…..
Bring on the summer :)
