I can't - the ridiculous price of that piece of crap has me spitting at the screen

srsly 05-25-06 11:27 AM

that does look really hot. but for $265, cmon now. i got their knickers and that was only because i had a bonus burning a hole in my pocket. rapha stuff is really nice, but you can get stuff that works just as well for a quarter of the money.

not saying i'd refuse one though :)

I like the way the Pearl Izumi jackets look better anyway. At about 1/4th of the price, I think they're a better deal.

Anyway, who the hell needs a jacket? It's 85F+ outside!

Damn, yeah, that's not me.
Excuse me while I go and purge my lunch...

i like the rapha stuff for sure, but paying 1/4 the price for something comparable is ok for me. plus, i can spend more on bike parts....

GoLite has a pretty sweet wind jacket. It has a super cool sound effect installed where you sound like a sail when riding.

Unless it massages my teats as I ride it's not worth 195 British pounds = 366.13200 U.S. dollars.

astrx 05-25-06 12:18 PM

yeah i would never be able to afford that, and even if i could, i wouldnt pay for it. but if i have some rich relatives, i would definitely hint at it.

And yet you couldn't scrounge up $25 to get a red star?

85! on a cold day maybe(south central texas)

Aeroplane 05-25-06 01:11 PM

$265 US is ridonkulousness. Only if it were my job to ride around and look cool (which it is not).

hyperRevue 05-25-06 01:12 PM

Whatever man.
That's ALL OF OUR job!

mareesha 05-25-06 03:37 PM

Yeah, for that price, I'll cop a Members Only from Goodwill for a fiver, take a sharpie to it and then buy some Phils, thanks!

someone needs to tell them they messed up on the zipper. it's way not in the middle. when is retro gonna stop being cool? pardon my lack of art school fashionabitily, but all their stuff looks silly.

If you wear that thing out in public you are going to be immediately tagged as a fashion victim with more money than sense. What happens when you warm up a little and need to unzip it? The off center zipper is going to make that impractical.
