Ha! Most of the people that I've come across wearing Rapha in the wild have worn it pretty well - at least reasonable cycling shape, didn't look like try-hards, etc, etc.
But no, the manufacturer of discussion is Cafe du Cycliste. Some of their stuff hits the right notes for me, some is a little too... free form jazz.

Thank heavens Cuore' is quality stuff, otherwise I'd feel taken advantage of.

I'm running low on Jager, thinking about hitting up Total Wino to reup, and see if they have any other exotic herbals. In Portland there was a bar called Aptheke, and they had some crazy stuff. They had a sandalwood liqueur that was just like drinking alcoholic wood.

In my family, we speak in a shorthand of Monty Python, and quotes from old movies we've seen and books we may or may not have read.

I just want something that looks good, whether it's heavily-branded or not. It's depressingly hard to find.

Hadn't heard of them before - looks quality. I'm liking that more manufacturers are working different textures/weaves in to their kit (sorry, Mo).

Look at that smoke, when I use to be in charge of two coal boilers we needed to ensure that the opacity limit was not exceeded. That looks to be significantly higher than what was allowed 
. Granted it is part of the allure.

No, obviously I cracked rims around the spoke hole like you pictured.
Spokes are not $25 each, they're less than $1. Nipples around 60 or 70 cents. My LBS has a spoke machine which cuts and threads spokes in about 2 seconds.
I washed my car once in the last 2 years, I don't detail my bike after every ride, I only clean it rarely. But when a wheel starts breaking spokes or a rim cracks I like to freshen up those parts even though I live on a very small amount of money each month and have to spread out expenses so I don't go into the red. ymmv

And, my question was sincere; no snark intended. Over in C&V, the Armourall/ detailing comment would be deserved. I just need to remember which forum I'm in.
Peace

So, by comparison, coal smoke might almost be benevolent.

Thanks. I'll see if I can get them shipped here. My current Amazon.com(USA)order is taking nearly two months from order to arrival. From Amazon.com.mx, the prices aren't nearly so forgiving.
And, my question was sincere; no sarcasm involved. Over in C&V, the Armourall/ detailing comment would be deserved. I just need to remember which forum I'm in.
