Haha, I couldn't resist. I have to admit, it looks pretty awesome while wearing it. It has all the drop shadows printed perfectly, so it looks like there really are buttons and pockets on the jersey.

Also, to answer your questions...I say, go with the LS Jersey/Gilet. The Rapha bibs are great I'm sure, but you can get away with wearing another brand of plain black bibs at the moment...and the bibs will always be there. I think the jersey/gilet combo will move fairly fast since its something new. It's also relatively cheap in Rapha terms - you're getting two items for a little more than the price of 1. Right now they have the hi-vis gilet for $160 and $200+ for any long sleeve jersey...you're saving nearly $100 by getting the pair together. (I think I might have just talked myself into getting it as well.)

gc3, you're my hero. I had never heard of Danny Shane before, but they have been appropriately bookmarked. I really need to stop buying jerseys. I think I can honestly say I have more jerseys than properly fitting work shirts. Perhaps I can get away with wearing kit at the office, all the ladies love the spandex anyway.
