SAS the new Rapha?

[Kirk Pacenti]

With only 2 designs maybe not, but this stuff looks pretty good to me.

Just bought a jersey. Made in America. Black is the new anti-Recession. I like black jerseys or white. Hopefully they do white next.

SAS is the Special Air Service, BTW.

Any idea what the fabric is on the jersey? I couldn't find any info on their website.

Not too impressed with just two pieces of apparel in all black.

not sure what they believe. is it all black? I would say a collection is more than 2 items. if they can make a short sleeve, how hard is it to offer a long sleeve. a vest and arm warmers would be good.

I'd say Road Holland is further down that road than SAS right now.

Two black bits of kit?

Long way to go....

[veloduffer]

Only in Roadkill Black?

[wooly]

Agreed - I've got too many pieces of black gear. Need more options. But nice they're made in the states.

if schoeller c-change fabirc really works that would be an interesting jacket

Never understood black short sleeve jerseys. Last thing I want to wear with the sun beating down on my back when I'm working up a seat and when its dark -I want to be seen.

Stuff looks nice, simple clean design and discreet logos, hope white is the next color option.

Exactly! Their zippers are not even offset from center!

i was in black jersey in 80 degree sun today.

couldn't shake that burning smell of fat. hmm, might have been me, cooking on slow for 5 hours?

the only thing worse than that would be the visual of me in a white kit.

Black shorts - white jersey

The shoes certainly look comfy:

For an HP MSA 2312 would I need 2 external cables or 4 to connet to the controller?

grandma, is that you?

The only 100% wool jersey I have is a SS black Ibex.

For as often as I wash it, I'm glad it doesn't show road filth- or person filth for that matter!

Saw the jerseys the other day at Angry Catfish in MPLS...which also sells Rapha. Best coffee in the Cities too, by the way!

Looks nice and well-made and I like the simple design, but I prefer the feel of the Rapha lightweight jersey for hot weather riding. And of course the limit to only black is less than ideal. That plus Rapha's track record for quality, longevity and customer service will keep me with Rapha for now...even at the higher cost.

I will keep an eye on them and probably give them a try when they (hopefully) expand their line, but for now I'll stick with Rapha....

They lack imagination but are long on bullsh^t. Where are other colors, arm and leg warmers, bibs, caps, bigger sizes, a design or logo? Nice pictures. Skinny, coffee drinking hipsters won't pay $125 for a jersey, so they need to get on with the full program.
