Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer?

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!

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.

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

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.
