Do you only wear Rapha and pro kit because you crave attention?

No i also wear castelli, dhb, altura, sportful. I own sky/rapha kit as i am fan of the team in the same way people buy replica footy, rugby, cricket, baseball kit etc. Im not harming anyone while wearing it, just enjoying my choice of sport and equipment, the same as everyone else.

In all fairness Jowwy (and all p1sstaking aside) you are entitled to wear what the hell you like, its your choice, and it would be a sad world if we all wore the same identikit. Rapha kit isnt for me, i could not bring myself to spend that much, but its your money, you can spend it on what you want. I have an expensive "summer" bike, some think thats stupid, but again, my cash, my choice.

Never over indulgent, how on earth is one expected to travel, please we cannot all use cycles as there is not enough room on the paths.

Amazing. Thanks for that. The fact they seem to have very low mileages is strange. I remember my uncle bought one from new when they were almost giving them away. He had I think three gearboxes replaced under warranty before giving up.

I'm keeping the hell out of this thread if that stick is being waved around.
