RAPHA - SS12 SNEAK PEEK: ENDLESS SUMMER

It may not feel quite like it, but apparently Spring is heading our way. So, it must be time for Rapha to start their annual Spring - Summer collection tease.


And of course Rapha very rarely disappoint...



All the latest designs, new components and revitalised colourways for Spring Summer 2012 will shortly be revealed. 


To whet our curiosity, Rapha have released some sneak shots of the products that will make spring and summer 2012 a season of endless riding and racing.


And if it isn't obvious from the photography, below are some cryptic descriptions:


• Stay faster and cooler than a cucumber with UCI points in this new colour update.



• Summer road-riding favourite Inspired by a Giro winner who took the yellow jersey from the Normand Gourmand.


• Bowler hats and time trials in the dark, bagpipes and daffodils, all in the weft of a nation.


• The finest tailors, the greatest street food, and 19 World Champions of la strada in one piece of performance roadwear.


• Inhale and exhale in perfect comfort as you ride homeward towards the second planet from the sun.


• No need for hats off even in the hottest battles, Rapha have it covered in weightless abundance.


At a guess, it looks like pro team jersey in yellow/lime, a Felice Gimondi club jersey, a new GB Country Jersey, an Italian Country Jersey,lightweight Jersey in a new colourway and finally a lightweight cycling cap.


I'm looking forward to a jersey commemorating "The Phoenix", if indeed the Felice Gimondi clue proves correct...
