You sure about that? Is not liking a particular image mean that you are extremely self-concious and having a crisis? Alexb618 post on several large online forums and if you are that curious about him I'm sure you can go read. I believe he races.AUbicycles wrote:That is pretty funny though because the seller is having a crisis - extremely self-conscious.
It is funny because it is funny reflection on cycling culture. Sort of like that performance video.

Disagree with the self conscious remark. I'd chalk it up as dry humour.

Rapha co-owns the UK-based cycling team Rapha Condor-Sharp with London bike shop Condor Cycles. Rapha is also majority shareholder in Rouleur Magazine. In August 2012, it was announced that as of 2013, Rapha will be producing the clothing for the British cycling team, Team Sky.
Part of their marketing too I s'pose but I'm sure those on the cycling team appreciate it.
I don't own any of their gear but if you have the money and its good quality why not.

However the Rapha gear I have bought is well made and practical. Though pricey it has outlived other less expensive kit I've bought.
Have a great ride,

You can buy them in a limited variety of colours. Your choice.

Yes I know they are available in other colours apart from black. My comment was that the most commonly purchased colour is black which makes these cyclists hard to spot on the road (few are using rear lights).il padrone wrote:biker jk wrote:I just wonder why just about all the Rapha jerseys purchased are black since they make cyclists very hard to see.

They make tools in lots of brands these days.
Colour options available was the main reason I did not buy the BNA kit

In my current injured state I can relate to the comments about 'the bad'

"At Rapha we love gravel" - ah, now I think I like their ethos even more

Meh! The blue was OK, but I already have one in that colour, and I guess the alternative of black just coloured my attitude.Mulger bill wrote:What was wrong with the blue? Mine looks pretty damn fine!il padrone wrote: Colour options available was the main reason I did not buy the BNA kit
