Ha! Ive become disillusioned with Rapha kit. I would defend anyone's right to buy it should they wish to but its just a bit too much now.
I had resisted for a long time then I folded and started buying the odd bit here and there, before you know it Im succumbing to the sufferporn and looking on ebay for the long sleeve brevet jersey, justifying it by saying, its only £200.00!
No more, Ive sold off a few bits (which holds its value presumably for the reasons alluded to above) Im going to say I don't think the quality is any great shakes. Perfectly serviceable but at the premium they charge,.. no. Its not good enough certainly not good enough to justify those prices.
The spamming they do is fairly relentless too.
In essence, its nice but a bit pricey.
