Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Platini [quote]andrewleitch86 The thing I don't like about Assos is that they insist that you wear a totally different outfit for every weather condition. They even have a socks pack with different socks for each season. That's a little overkill I think. Rapha stuff is expensive but they do have the deal of the week which sometimes is quite good.

"They insist"? They can insist all they like - doesn't mean you have to take any notice....[/quote]
Makes it confusing though. Rapha's limited stock range seems easier to navigate around.

On the topic of Rapha's excellent marketing I looked at my work inbox and I have their Autumn Winter 2007 catalogue. It matches Raphas "It's more than just the clothes" ethos. The first half of the catalogue reads more like what I'd imagine a copy of Roluer would read like. I'd urge anyone who's not totally against Rapha to get a copy and have a read. Also some really nice photography in there.
