Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Alright Zoolander..

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse than the new Brevet stripey jersey:

Good news - there are equally horrible caps, socks, bidons and arm warmers.

horrible

yes, like chevrons thown-up on u

Although I havent used it for a long ride yet that brevet jersey is top notch .. its also my first rapha jersey.

And even for me that data print is ugly but will buy in sales

Nah, they'd be all over that in the Stylish Cycling Kit thread.

Prolly then Tumblr then stylish thread ..

They're really missing the matching bibs, reckon it would look awesome.

I quite like the pseudo chevrons. I think.

Fuck me, looks like a lorry has just driven through fresh paint and then run over a cyclist.

Meh. I don't mind it. Although I'm not sure I'd spend Rapha money on it.

I wonder why they're deviating from their simple/traditional/boring/elegant styles(?).

Great to see Ben Ingham back though ..

They moved onto the bright and vibrant pattern of the 80's clothes now.

Data print stuff is much better in the flesh.

Prolly then Tumblr then stylish thread ..

LoL. Truth.

O hai @hugo7 please meet fashion.

Poorly timed.

Peter Kennaugh is so dreamy though

I really like that new data print.
although I don't really get the photos being so gloomy and all.

To me it looks as if they've hired some young hack designer who just likes to push vector shapes around in Illustrator. Case in point...

You mean DHB.

Sorry, had not thought of it like that.

bottom dhb jersey looks better than anything else on this page (apart from Kennaugh)

I quite like that data print stuff.

You and scoble on the stupidity step. NOW.

Yes, no, yes.

I do actually really like the white/yellow/grey on. But as I'm on the stocky/tubby side I tend to be a bit more conservative...

...maybe the diagonals will be slimming.

Oakley, Adidas and Trek.

I understand the homage to the late 20th Century, but faux branding?
