Rapha
I tend to be a form follows function type of guy. I wear Assos bib shorts/knickers or tights. Like Rapha, Assos ain't cheap but after 50 miles on the bike, the extra coin tends to disappear. Many list members have already stated that if the look is for you, go with it. BTW, where are the bulk of Rapha products made? Italy? Romania?, China? Southeast Asia?
