Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

[cite] lpg:

I bet it was that short fucker with the black hair (dunno his name). He's a right fucking twat, he is. The taller guy with the shaved head - he's well safe i remember him at bedford square.
But not shorty, nope.

"Shorty" is actually a very nice and knowledgeable guy. As is "shaved head".
And to respond to the original post - Rapha probably DO struggle to make any money at all, and yet they produce great stuff (Rouleur magazine being one of them), have fantastic taste (I love their Citroën van), and cater to a side of the market that needs catering for.
Do they advertise their products as being "hand made in the UK?"
If so there is ground for complaint.
