But what do I know? I tuck my jeans into my socks.

Hope the socks aren't white

who really cares anyway...


I have a real bianchi shirt..it's ok..and it was expensive. I then went and bought a fake shirt on e bay...it's a much better quality material, looks better imo and has a working zip instad of a cheapo seize up type zip...it was also£45 cheaper.

Now where does this leave those of us who find Rapha kit to be quite nice but a bit too common?

I think that leaves you with a healthy bank account..
(healthier than mine anyway!!)

Living in the SE corner of a big island, in a place with a lot of cars and inflated house prices?

Ah yeah, thanks for that.

Okay - I just meant, is it mainly a London thing? I haven't noticed much Rapha kit up here, though bromptonfb was sporting a Rapha cap when I met him on Tuesday.

I see much more Assos in these parts. (Still in a minority though - 'value' brands such as DHB are more common.)

He's did say that he got it cheap, and wouldn't have paid the full price!

(Perhaps he inadvertently bought a fake cap? )

Well, they are close to the border, but I think that both his home town of Nelson and where he lives now in Rossendale have always been in Lancashire!

That's very snotty of you, thanks. I expect you wear only crimplene outfits bought from charity shops.

You are perceptive to a certain degree at least. It's more than I expected.
