Not really...I don't really thing Rapha is "trendy" either - it's an elite brand.
Being a hiptster is not about being trendy either. "Trendy" generally means what is in style/popular look you'll find up and down the high street. Fo' shure some of the hipster look can be found in Topshop et al atm (Topshop even have hipster triangles in their window displays atm!)
The point I'm labouring is that hipsters spend their money on skinny jeans, deck shoes, single speed bike with no back brake. They don't spend their hard earned on a £90 jersey from Rapha!
