Hmmmm, normal fat bloke on left here! We did 80 miles, faffed at lot, had a pub stop, ate a load of flapjacks and finished with a curry....it was epic, but not in a Rapha way!
Great company, ethics and people and wonderful products that stand up to the rigours of fat blokes!
Yep, that could so easily be me...
And they have a spare bike if they break one!
I must say it's quite refreshing to see 'normal' bodies in a promotional image for a change
Thanks Simon - We took a photographer/cyclist along on a weekend ride we did with real customers.. The curry we had in the evening did nothing to improve the waistlines the next day!
