While I generally think that Rapha is both overpriced and pretentious, I did buy a pair of these for putzing around town. A nice middle ground between baggies and tights. Are they well made and look good? Absolutely. Are they overpriced? Probably. (And I run Shimano btw)
as is road cycling in general. so they fit right in, if you ask me.
i own a rapha jacket, and nobody seems to care except on BF.
