It’s interesting being out of cycling for a few years, now coming back and seeing that everything just looks like Rapha now. ‘Clean’ etc etc, with a little typography and tasteful choice colours. Rapha have really lost their selling point. There is a lot less terrible looking stuff about than 5 years ago.
There’s room for a resurgence in some stuff with character or flare I think.
Having tried other people’s kit, I’d argue that Rapha still make better kit than other people. All very well making a good looking jersey, but there aren’t many people who make kit as good IMO. And those that do charge the same amount...
