rapha isn't messenger clothing though is it? i know they have their fixed range but i have never seen a messenger wearing any of this stuff. i don't think the brand is aimed at "fakengers" or real messengers either.
i think it's aimed at people like me, i don't want to wear a lurid 'team' jersey because i don't follow the sport enough and i think they look horrible, to me it seems odd to have a cream cheese or tile adhesive logo on your jersey. i find most of the endura stuff boring if functional (i do own some commuter/mtb stuff though) but i do want to wear bike clothing that looks smart and is made of technical fabrics that perform well (so no jeans). i find rapha, descente, assos, etxeondo, gore, castelli and craft all make stuff that is well designed and well made, i guess some people have issues with the price but if you can't afford it don't chastise those who can or buy it in the sale :-)
