So many cycling brands use .cc domains, not sure who started it. Also the main competitor for this sort of style is probably more along the lines of Castelli/Gore than Rapha. I dig the idea, but the aesthetic types are going to stick with Rapha/SAS/etc.
I couldn't reply on Product Hunt sadly because apparently I need to be recommended by the community.
Your choice in BibShorts is a highly personal one. Perhaps other brands resonate more with your wants and aspirations and tastes.
We are focused on what we do - A BibShort for long distance cycling. Our website has only 1 product that's built from the ground up to enable you to ride that century or that AUDAX in comfort.
His page actually wasn't even loading when I attempted to visit it. Just check and yeah you're right. I wonder when somebody is going to come along and match Rapha in everything but price.
Torm was so Rapha-esque they even got in a bit of trouble for it, I believe.
Twin Six and Road Holland also have some combo of minimal/classic and wool jerseys for good prices. The former of which definitely has some crazy stuff as well, but their basics are quite well made.
Vulpine, Cafe Du Cycliste, and a few other euro brands are in the same style and go on sale somewhat more regularly as well.
We've made some tweaks and it should load better now :)
I'd like to reiterate that we aren't competing with any of the big boys. Each brand is unique with a different philosophy and brand voice.
We are focused on making a BibShort for long distance cycling. We want you to come to us, knowing that you will walk away with a product that will help you ride those long base miles in comfort.
Every element in the RedWhite BibShorts has been curated and through through to achieve this end goal.
