Cranck Posted November 12, 2009 Author Posted November 12, 2009 @ JohanThe Rapha gear is awesome..... watch this space! @ Patches.... racing stripes???? UUUmmmmm go faster? hahaMaybe we can include in a tail wing to increase downforce on the rear wheel making it lighter in the front..... hold on..... contacting Ross Brawn now...... Just want to 'lift' the local quality of products..... Your comments and suggestions are all welcome
Tumbleweed Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 i hear that out east there is some demand for mtb shorts with built-in holsters for glocks
Tumbleweed Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 not a bad idea for local as well! most south african trends start out on the east rand
Cranck Posted November 13, 2009 Author Posted November 13, 2009 actually.............. that RAPHA gear is I N S A N E

Hog_ Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 What puts me off most cycling gear is the colours. I'm not going to be seen in retina-burning colours. I don't wear yellow, orange, magenta or red. I also don't want company logos on clothing. I'm not a pimped out Citi-golf that needs logos on my body.

Cranck Posted November 13, 2009 Author Posted November 13, 2009 Different styles for different folks i suppose There is no doubt that there certain colours okes will wear and not wear. The Bright greens and lumo orange i thihnk i shall stay away from. This is more about the product and style. Afterall... cycling is not just a sport but a lifestyle, just like many sports with sports apparel ie: paddling and with and lifestyle comes clothing as it determines who you are. Plain and simple - well, that my view. I dont think enough 'range' is out there that caters for it. JEEP have the outdoor lifestyle in check...... Nice product for what you get... i know as the guy i work for manufactures a lot of their clothing!!! The Rapha range is H O T! and quality comes with it and versatile. Markups a bit tough on the wallet. There is no reason why we cannot produce international quality at decent rates. And that err's me to no end......

People might think I want to be a TdF winner but it is bright and highly visible. I don't wear or buy "pro-kit" anymore as it is more expensive then plain kit and it's only the companies on the kit that score out of the deal. Kit with shop names on is also a big no for me, unless they give it to me for free.
Kansas Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 What about your club kit, company logos and all???
AndreZA Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 What about your club kit' date=' company logos and all???[/quote'] I don't belong to a club but I would/did wear it if/when I did. It's the club colours and you should wear it with pride.
