So... it's based on the jersey for the black lantern. The shittest guy in the Giro. The snail of the peloton. Presumably, this position has some kind of kudos attached, like being the guy at the pub that can drink 3 pints of guinness upside down after a vindaloo without shitting stomach acid down his back. That it's sold out in XXL shows that they are marketing to fat cunts who will be wearing this spotted monstrosity and spraying their sweat over their new condor dti specced bikes as they grind through Surrey at 12kph. Ok.
Shirly, this flies in the face of chiselled, rugged guys with legs stronger than Madonna's pelvic floor muscles mincing through exotic countryside despangled in discreet yet flattering vetements, and Rapha, for all their marketing nouse and nice imagery, will readily be the brand of the fat cunt with more money than sense or skill, rather than just the slightly vain tosspots with definitely more money than sense but also a BMI of under 1000 and who hasn't just taken up cycling because they've been told they've got to fight off type 2 diabetes because they eat too much foie gras of a corporate lunch and they also think their trophy wife has started getting the gardener to tend her succulents...
Or did we already get to that point long before I was busy trying not to look at the Rapha website since October for fear of being seduced by their CX gear?
