  • Jesus wept - do you have any idea how expensive Rapha would be if it were all handmade by men with artisan beards in the UK?

    It's a global economy - get over it. If you want cycling gear made in the UK, and believe there is a market for it that is greater than just you, then start your own brand.

    Totally and utterly this.

    Nearly everything is made in China - this is something people are going to have to accept.

  • I love Mamnick stuff, nearly all of which is made in the UK. The only product I can think of which isn't is the jeans which are made in Japan because everyone knows that's where the best selvedge comes from right.

    Thom's prices are Rapha-esque, but somehow he manages to get stuff made in the UK, and the quality is fantastic too. How come he can do it and Rapha can't?
