    Buying a reproduction Hampsten number to stick on yourself is the most tragic thing I've ever seen. It's about as laughable as a Man Utd fan wearing a Bobby Charlton combover wig. If they paid me £120 to wear it I'd wipe my arras on it.

    I'd buy it if it had a £120 pinned to it instead!

    This sort of stuff makes me laugh. When I fancy a snigger a take a walk into Harvey Nicholls at lunchtime. (Non-cycling) 100% cotton t-shirts for £500, and stuff like that. I suppose these things wouldn't be that price if no-one was willing to pay it. Personally I want something that is reasonably priced. When I was a kid my parents would tell me that more expensive clothing was more expensive because it fitted better or had better materials. That may have been the case once, but now I think it is more just a case of paying a premium to wear a designer name. I was going to suggest that it is like having a fancy car, but at least the fancy car probably cost more to make....

    Last year I was hit by a van and knocked unconcious. Fractured skull yada, yada,ya...

    I was wearing two Rapha products (winter jersey and T-shirt), Assos 3/4 shorts and a Nike undervest.
    The nurses cut everything off.
    Rapha replaced the cut up items with brand new ones. Brand f***ing new ones. For free.

    Assos, Nike didn't do sh!t. But I didn't expect them to anyway. And in all honesty given the totally 'unrepairable' nature of the garments, I didn't expect Rapha to either.

    So if it's alright with you I'll favour "Crapha" over any alternative you'd care to mention.
