Rapha Fixed shorts test - score 50%.
On the plus side, they look good, they do fat bastard sizes, and the shorts are still great to ride in even when completely soaked with heavy rain. Must be the fancy Shoeller fabric.
On the minus side, the padded bit isn't padded enough, and one of the leg buttons is not stitched on properly and will fall off soon. If I had paid £125 for a pair of shorts I'd bloody expect hand-sewn buttons. In fact I paid £45 for them and I still expect buttons not to fall off.
