It's laughable that any cyclist, road or mtb, think the clothes they wear look good.
I always look good on or off the bike. Just cos you look like a wobblespod don't mean everyone else does...

But it seems to upset people in an understated way and I find this strangely alluring.
that's one of the main reasons why i wear the stuff, i think of it as a bonus feature.

Oldgit I'm waiting on your Lusso picture.
I still have a Castelli LS jersey I bought in 1979! And apart from a few abrasions in the shoulder area from crashes its holding up well

Confirms what I've always thought about Rapha, over-priced crap of dubious quality.

Your doing well so far oldgit, but you would have to say despite the BIG mullet the Aldi chap looks quick up the hills.
The Endura bloke will surely come unravelled 1/2 way round & the zip will also fail.

a) Some people want to pay well over the odds. It's part of the appeal. It's a status thing. 'I have more money than I know what to do with'
b) What's wrong with Rapha selling stuff to these people? You don't have to buy it if you don't want to.
c) What's the problem with the way they sell cycling as a bit of a lifestyle? It attracts new people to the sport. How else do you expect cycling to grow? Remembering that the more people do it the more funding we'll get for trail centres, better rights of way, safer roads etc* I agree with some of the detractors here ie: I don't buy Rapha because I can get good quality stuff that lasts me years of regular use without having to spend that kind of cash but I don't see why the world is somehow a worse place because they exist...

Exactamundo....that's what I was trying to get across.
Youre right, he does look a bit Eastern Bloc hardman doesn't he. Pretty sure he'd be wearing snakeskin road shoes.

My guess is that he has a team mate that sits on your wheel, you just know he's sat there and doing bugger all to contribute and it's getting to you so after a while so you try to drop him only for Mr Mullet to come over the top just after your effort as he's been towed up by Mr Wheelsuckers brother
Yep got the Teeshirt I'm afraid

As someone who manufactures cycling gear* I'm following this with a lot of sniggering.
it's not you who's laughing all the way to the bank though is it.
instead of sniggering maybe you should be looking at their business plan.Posted 1 year ago # -
Rapha cycling kit is very good, as is gore, but rapha has the added advantage that it really winds people up so much Keep it up chaps. It is rather odd that people behave like this though.

Ah but it's not sourced in china and I'm sure irule don't make any profit from it. Well certainly not enough to buy a porsche for example
