Lend me £500

velocity boy:So I saw a messenger yesterday head-to-toe in Rapha gear. He also kept it clean, yet the cap and shoulder had clearly worn. It was strange, it's so expensive that I just don't really expect to see it on messengers. The caps, the gloves... perhaps. But this guy had fixed shorts, sportswool jersey, cap... I didn't get to see if he had the socks too.

A messenger with rapha gear usually did a photoshoot for them. They pay you in clothes :S
Imagine if guys with 'proper' jobs can't afford it, how are messengers gonna do it.

Anyway, I have my own thoughts on them (know to some forum members) but I'll spare you the details
