To be fair, I have only seen DK's jersey in the bag, and I didn't even look at it properly. So I'm reserving judgement till I see it in the flesh.
Also, you can't ignore what Rapha do for the cycling community - sponsoring Rapha/Condor/Sharp team riders and so on.
I heard at the Cycle Show that Rapha/Condor don't actually sponsor their riders in that sponsoring usually means paying for their bikes, etc.. Supposedly all their riders must buy their own bikes. They get some sort of discount but that's it. Can anyone verify? (understandably strong gossip if untrue!)
Someone tell me that this isn't true!
