Bikes: 1940s Fothergill, 1959 Allegro Special, 1963? Claud Butler Olympic Sprint, Lambert 'Clubman', 1974 Fuji "the Ace", 1976 Holdsworth 650b conversion rando bike, 1983 Trek 720 tourer, 1984 Counterpoint Opus II, 1993 Basso Gap, 2010 Downtube 8h, and...

Which led me to look at their cycling clothing offerings:

I understand this is well made stuff, made by craftsmen who deserve to earn what they earn, not in sweatshops where the workers deserve to earn a whole lot more. So I guess I understand the pricing. But the idea that a decent looking cycling jacket should cost well over a thousand dollars, well, that's pretty depressing.
