Why I Hate Rapha

A stupid rant about Rapha. O why do I hate Rapha? I hate Rapha because they make you want there products so bad like crack. Rapha figured me out and they know what they make works and last forever...... I never change my kit by season more by when they wear out. I hate Rapha Beacuse its so expensive. But is it 230 for bibs 230/5= 46 Bucks a year. "Thats ALL" I blow more on coffee than that. So why am I complaining about something so awesome. because its so expensive.... Ahhh Hell who am I kidding I looovvee Rapha.

Agreed, I have two pair of bibs that just turned 5 and another that is going on 3. They are in regular rotation and show little sign of giving up anytime soon. Damn good bang for the buck and I bought all on sale.

Yeah, but with a kuku penthouse, you also get a good bag for the buck.

Not necessarily. You just need to know where to shop.

Wait, how about Amazon? They wouldn't sell anything not legit, right?

Im just pissed that I just missed that Rapha Wallet in the Classifieds section.

But Ive got to admit, Shopping in a bicycle clothing store, in NYC, while watching the 1999 Stage -Oropa Stage, when Pantani too 49 riders after his chain dropped, Drinking a Extremely Pleasant Belgian Farm Ale with slight signs of ginger and aged barley, eating a Grilled cheese with prosciutto wrapped asparagus and sautéed Argentinean organic brussels-sprouts and a side of age seasoned vinegared fennel....was pretty Fantastic. On the Top of that To finish it down with surprisingly good Cappuccinos made it a lot easier to spend the 550 bucks I did on bike clothes..
