Earlier this year, Rapha asked us to write a feature story for Cyclingnews about Custom, a brand new online design software tool that allows users to create their own designs from an almost infinite number of possibilities. In the months since then, we've spent hours playing around with the tool, and while deciding which of the many designs and colors to use, we seem to have come up with a better idea.

Rather than creating our own design using the tool and writing a review of the process, we give readers a reason to try it out for themselves.

Create your own design with Rapha Custom throughout the week, and on Friday we will choose the design and the lucky creator will ride off into the sunset wearing their new, truly unique kit.

But that's not all: Rapha Custom has a minimum order of five pieces for each item you design using the online creator tool. Therefore, the remaining four kit designs will be auctioned off, with the proceeds donated equally to CALM and Ambitious about Autism.

Step 1. go to Rapha Custom (opens in new tab) and create an account.

Step 2. design your own kit

To activate your entry, complete both jersey and bib shorts designs. The designs can be either men's or women's. If you would like to include a charity logo, you can download it from the gallery at the bottom of this page.

Jersey Links Men's Pro Team Midweight Jersey (opens in new tab) or Women's Pro Team Midweight Jersey (opens in new tab).

Bib shorts link: men's pro team bib shorts (opens in new tab) or women's pro team bib shorts (opens in new tab).

Step 3. When the design is complete, press 'review and save', then 'save and exit'.

Step 4. Once you have completed the design for both the jersey and bib shorts, go to your Rapha Custom account page (opens in a new tab).

Step 5. share your designs, click on "options" under the two designs, click on "copy link" and paste the two designs into the form below.

If the form does not load, you can view the original link here.
