Going Long and Hard.

[seanrunnette]

The owner of Rapha has his own jet. Not Sprinter. Jet. Jet airplane. You should have had water at #3. He gets a jet, you don't die doing his "feels" event, easy-peasy. Glad you made it without further damage.

Glad you survived. I assume you won't be wearing the Rapha Prestige jersey around? In your honor, I have burned all my Rapha kit and will be riding naked for the remainder of the year.

There goes our plans to ride this Friday.

 

[Johnny Utah]

thank you for typing this, even in bullet form, i could feel your pain.

I think the bullet form added to the pain.

I'm pretty high on the anti-Rapha side already. Even showing up with a custom steel bike, Enve, Chris King, a beard and tattoos, I was shunned by this group. I even take artsy pictures.

I was curious to how you even ended up on that ride.

 

[Steve Vai]

It was a shop team thing.

 

[w_b]

sounds like BDAHs is more than confirmed based on your experiences.

if I had any Rapha stuff, I'd be collecting $20s for each of the videos right about now.

 

[Mumonkan]

where you went wrong was having a full beard. if it was a 70s cop stache and you had a euro accent you wouldve been accepted into the elite

Went into Rapha store in NYC once.

May go to jail when I snap one day stabbing people who wear Rapha after that experience.

 

[Steve Vai]

The majority of our customer base is the Rapha Crowd. This is why I spend much time alone and far away.

 

[JoeLee]

Went into Rapha store in meatpacking district when LeMond had all his bikes and memorabilia there. Great experience - very nice manager (he co-hosts http://www.speedmetalcycling.com/hosts1/podcast).

Sometimes I think what we expect reflects back on us. Or maybe they were dicks.

Brief synapse of trip.

- We leave late Friday due to much cluster-fucking by random triathlete customers.

- Since we left late, we couldn't make it the cabin we rented a few minutes away from race venue in time and our reservations were cancelled.

- The closest place to stay was over an hour away. We arrived there after Midnight.

- I learned that all the Rapha dudes actually are complete pompous assholes in real life, that's not just their marketing dept making them out that way. They live the pompous asshole roadie lifestyle to the fullest. Balls deep assholes.

WOW. That sucks. Can I have all that Rapha swag the you don't want?

Signed,

Roadie Prick

What swag? You think Rapha gives out swag!!??

I have a very nice drink coaster from the World Championship last year that sits on my work bench. It is paper. I also get postcards from them, not sure what you are supposed to do with them though, but the pictures sure are nice.

I was in the Rapha Pop-Up store at the WC last year and it was an odd experience, a bunch of @The Heckler looking dudes huddling around, seemingly not talking to each other. My son was with me too, so that added to the weird looks.

I could care less about the elitism and I am not sure I fit the standard Rapha mold, but having tried a crap-ton of brands over the years, I have found that almost everything I have owned from them is exceptional in fit, functionality, well thought out features and style (those are in order of importance @UtahJoe). The things that didnt work in the fit and functionality department were sold, regardless of how good they looked.

 

[UtahJoe]

Remove the how it looks portion of Rapha gear and you wouldn't go near it.

I won't deny such, similar to why I won't put one of those carbon penis stems on my bikes,

but look at the other clothing companies in the road game, they just can't see to help themselves from making stuff look retarded.
Giordana is good, fit doesnt work for me but probably does for someone, but why does it have to look like this?

Castelli has some of the most breathable fabrics, but who wants to wear this?

I mean, seriously, WTF Pearl Izumi, W.T.F, aside from that they fit like a potato sack...

And how can I leave out the assos dude?

Who can deny that something like this doesnt look better?

I have a very nice drink coaster from the World Championship last year that sits on my work bench. It is paper. I also get postcards from them, not sure what you are supposed to do with them though, but the pictures sure are nice.

I was in the Rapha Pop-Up store at the WC last year and it was an odd experience, a bunch of @The Heckler looking dudes huddling around, seemingly not talking to each other. My son was with me too, so that added to the weird looks.

I could care less about the elitism and I am not sure I fit the standard Rapha mold, but having tried a crap-ton of brands over the years, I have found that almost everything I have owned from them is exceptional in fit, functionality, well thought out features and style (those are in order of importance @UtahJoe). The things that didnt work in the fit and functionality department were sold, regardless of how good they looked.

Maybe I can get a modeling gig.

I own 1 Rapha garment being an insulated bib which I got as a gift on closeout (still cost $150). It's plain black with a black screened 'rapha' on the leg very comfy and warm in the winter months. Fit and finish is premo.

I do really like their styling, it's tasteful and classic looking but there is a certain amount of pretension to the brand which is a turn off. THEN there are the rapha clans. Out my way you might see one person show up now and again decked out in Rapha gear, I did a river road ride a couple months back and passed multiple groups of 6+ dudes in full $400 kit. Not team matchey - 'we all have money and shop at the same place' matchey. Like a herd of dudes in different color collared shirts and boat shoes walking to the bar. RAPHA IS LIKE CYCLING VINEYARD VINES.

Maybe I'm just jealous because I've been using the same bontrager bibs for 4 years and all my chamois are unsewing themselves.

BUT ANYWAY, this started with Rapha handouts! I actually got a Rapha branded phone sleeve (glorified ziplock baggie) at the NEMBRA August Adventure ride. BOOM!

but look at the other clothing companies in the road game, they just can't see to help themselves from making stuff look retarded.
Giordana is good, fit doesnt work for me but probably does for someone, but why does it have to look like this?

Castelli has some of the most breathable fabrics, but who wants to wear this?

I mean, seriously, WTF Pearl Izumi, aside from that they fit like a potato sack...

And how can I leave out the assos dude?

Who can deny that something like this doesnt look better?

Totally agree that general stock garments are tasteless.

Custom kits 4 da win

Half are still tasteless.
