I popped into Condor last week and had a look at some of the high end kit they sell and I have to say I am shocked at how cheap and badly made some of the Rapha kit looked! I would have to compare them to the cycling equivalent of Top Man...... awful but fashionable. It really did surprise me, I was expecting more like the Hugo Boss of the 2 wheeled world, timeless quality

    Did you know that during World War 2 Hugo Boss used to make uniforms for the SS (he says trying to change the subject as I can see where this thread is going...)

    If you want quality, buy Assos or even Giordana. Rapha is expensive and that's about it. Quality has deteriorated steadily over the last few years.

    The price they charge, you should be getting the 'Hugo boss' of the cycling world .......
