Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

My Park tool collection cost significantly less than a Shadow outfit! And it's for life. Won't wear out or become unfashionable. Actually saves me money in the long run on bike shop bills. I can lend them to friends, which is considered bad form for bib shorts. Etc. etc. ;)

The Emporer's New Clothes jibe had to be made given they are partly selling this stuff on its invisibility! For the record I think a lot of the recent Rapha stuff is nice (reflective stealth jerseys, Canyon/SRAM kit, Mondial). Not a hater.
