The Ralpha thread really got me thinking. There are a lot of "designer" brand cycling kit out there. $200 or more for cycling shorts, $100 or more for a jersey. Ralpha, Assos, Santini, Castelli, etc. all sell very high priced gear. I understand that cycling today attracts a large segment of people with lots of disposable income. Cycling does a great job of marketing the latest and greatest with some improvement to bikes and gear coming out every year, the pros always have it and that attracts us to it.
I just wish there was some good quality gear at a much more reasonable price point, especially in the clothing market, even dhb, a house brand, is getting close to $100 for their top shelf shorts. Just seems there could be a company that could produce some cool designs for jerseys, bring a high quality pad short to market and make some cash by higher volume sales.
Just ranting.
