Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

As an alternative to rapha, perhaps look into twonfro. (www.twonfro.com).

Cheaper, quite nice looking, and made from a quirky mixture of man made materials (for winter) and natural fibres (for summer).

The website is still under construction, but why not visit their store. It's at 215 westbourne park road, w11. Just off portobello road. They also do a load of quirky accessories from around the world, and they have a few bikes in there too. Aimed mainly at the casual cyclist/commuter rather than the sporty lycra clad type.

Please god tell me that you are bringing that man and his alleged label up as a joke.
