Well done Rapha...

As if I didn't find you laughable enough, you gone and created this.

Now for the love of fuck sake, please don't get me started on the use of silk for this outstanding misappropriation of other subgenres iconography. That is a rant which will not end well.

But where the hell do you get off selling, for £50.00 I might add, a bandana to the bespoke wearing cyclist of priveledge?

This said, I am sure that anyone who chooses to purchases this fine item will be most happy with their "perspiration solution" infused article of cultural rape.

Meanwhile I have died a little inside, though this cannot be seen as totally negative, I am sure that the decrease in my zest for life will have shaved a few grams from my body mass, which will in turn make me an impressive 0.0001 seconds faster in the next TT that I won't be racing.

Fuck you Rapha.

Calm down, dear, it's only a scarf. my, we have got ourself in tizzy!

anyway, gay as it is, i agree,, it's not unreasonably priced. go and find a handmade ( in england) silk scarf for much less - it won't be easy.

So wheres the fuck you prada/yves saint laurant/ferarri/rolex/any other luxury goods brand. Why fixate on something you hate. You know they provide goods you consider over priced, so just ignore them.

That's bollocks. Are we not now allowed to voice disapproval of things that we find "objectionable"? Just shut up and ignore, when protest could change someone's mind? Bah! Kids today...

Looks nice to me. But then I am used to the finer things in life and appreciate that cheap and high quality do not go together. Some compare it to some eBay tat, others see the worth in it.

I think the rant says it all :-)
