I dropped into the pop up store earlier today, just to take a piccie and text it to my wife as a stir :lol: .....then realised that some of the stuff I'd been wanting was 30% off and I could actually check it out for a change.

Friendly dude in there, too. Much more so than most of the "high end" bike shops around Melbs. :)

Edit....fwiw, apparently when that one closes they're moving to a permanent location in the city.

Their kit is such great quality and their customer service is also really good. I've exchanged items, had bibs repaired after a crash and shipping is within 5 working days. With 30% off it's even nicer. Their lightweight stuff is absolutely perfect for the Aussie climate.

The Core looks to be the best value, the lightweight is great in hot conditions, Classic I find a bit too warm in summer but great for the cooler rides.

Email them once the sale goes live. They've given me a credit for the difference before provided they have size and colour in stock.

Looking at buying one of the S. Lightweight jerseys but I've heard that you can get sunburn on your back from the jersey, do you have any experience with this?

I rode around in an XL (so a nice large test piece :lol: ) for 8 hrs one day in January. Was over 30 all day, no cloud at all. No sunburn on back. Mine was a black one. Actually, I spent most of the month off riding at least 3 hrs a day in one. Never got burnt

FWIW

Yes no sunburn for me either, although when I read thier instrucitons for the jersey, i think they advise to wear sunscreen.

Oh and speaking of missing out on the sale having purshed items at full RRP a couple of weeks ago, dropped them an e-mail yesterday stating this and they just credited me $120!!! :D Hows that for customer support!

Just bought the newly released Pro Team training jersey with it.

www.erudy.com.au has a 30% off Black Friday sale on Rudy Project stuff.. Looks like the sale was extended to Sat 26th -- but I can still add the voucher code succesfully ($299 sunglasses down to $209).
