I don't think it's even that though. I think it's that in a sporting context there is an expectation amongst users that price has to be justified on the basis of performance. In the fashion world price very often has little to do with quality. Rapha unfortunately straddles both the sporting and the fashion and people often forget about the latter and concentrate on the former.
