Ethical question

Where do you think the name came from? They've always said it was based on that St Raphael club.
Give me Assos or Endura any day.

Dunno about that but House of Pistard have been up to their usual dirty tricks:

Wow ! That is bad !!

I know the HOP thing was a pastiche itself, but c'mon that's blatantly copying their sense of humour and idea !!

Plus there something about the fact that the original (pastiche with bike) was for a good cause and that makes it all the more shabby.

i don't get it, what is on the t-shirt?

original HOP pastiche:

Which of course references this:

I like claud butlers, and im not sure you deserve one now. I think you should make it my problem.

So are we saying that not only are Rapha overpriced, made in China, but also stole their logo? Really!?! frickin eck. I'm so disappointed.

No, you said that.

Anyone with even the most casual interest in the history of continental road racing would know that the logo was an omage to greatest era of the sport.

Oh, and the Smash Rapha shirt is BY HOP, not Rapha. It refers to... oh, never mind.

homage Bill? is that french for knock-off :^]

that courier who got into hot water by throwing his bike through the windscreen of a car?

I too have a Majestic frame, though I didn't pay for mine. I think the original gold colour scheme and decals looks alright. I was thinking about trying to spruce mine up without changing the colour scheme, till I dented it with a hammer trying to get the seat post off. Now it looks as though I will have to re-paint after some filler? It's an alright frame 531 with okay looking lugs if yours doesn't die of internal rusting make it look nice and maybe buy the original decals?

i have a majestic,i fucking love it!

here it is on a bridge...
