$99 for a cycling jacket? I paid $20 for a brand XY one and it's the best thing since coaster brakes.
- no not, really
Everything's relative though guys. It's very likely that $225 (the price of the rapha on sale) is a lot less money to some people than $99 is to you. These forums are like a person with multiple personality disorder. One day we're worshipping some high-end part or bike or light and the next we're bashing someone for spending "a fortune" on said part.
