I'm certainly no fakenger on my Fuji but I like my Rapha gear.
The merino fixed jersey is a dream for commuting -- completely non-stinky, even after a couple of days' wear.
The fixed shorts have a jaunty cut and come in a nice slimming colour. Okay, so they aren't waterproof - but I wore them last year on the Dunwich ride and although the were soaked through I felt comfortable in them all the way, and they dried really quickly. Surprisingly good quality as well; I have this terrible habit of sliding off drain covers in the rain, and although I'm grazed and bruised underneath, the shorts aren't even scuffed. I'm thinking about buying a pair of the new green ones.
I also wore a the fixed-t to Dunwich, and although I was wet, I still felt comfortable and it dried quickly.
