[dbnm]

I just bought it

[Hawker]

Expensive and ugly...such a deal!

[joosttx]

if it were hermetically sealed I could justify the price.

[Tony T]

I always pass if I have to pay the shipping ;)

[charliedid]

If only it were a size larger and blue!

Wait until brexit, then it should be about the same price as a closeout Performance jersey.

[Louis]

It's Rapha, so you know it's good.

[Dirtdiggler]

I offered 10 us dollars.. fingers crossed seller accepts.

[dbnm]

Here's another. Seriously cheaper

It does come with a spare button. :)

In the Rapha-sphere that is generally regarded as the holy grail even more so than the first Hampsten.

I think it was $300 when "released" easily 2x their regular jersey at the time.

[ultraman6970]

I dont even know who paul whaever is.

[echappist]

British designer who was himself a former competitive cyclist

LOL. At that price I'd expect proof, not just uncirculated.

Shoot, If that's true, I'll let my Hampsten-still-in-the-plastic go for 50k if anyone's interested... Hows that for a bargain.

Rapha is funny stuff...their "special edition" jerseys used to be more crafted - in this case sewn on things etc not just screened prints. some olks like that style a lot. Then again maybe these are the same people who wear the jerseys casually as if they were a polo shirt. that's weird, right?

the hampsten II special stuff this year or last sold out in < a day...the fervor is evidently still there.

[fiamme red]

This isn't quite so expensive, and it's in "beautiful great condition!"

I assume that the seller misplaced the decimal point.
