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.

I wonder when somebody is going to come along and match Rapha in everything but price.

Haven't tried them, but Torm[1] does this. Sportswool, "classic" styling, a lot cheaper than Rapha.

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.

hi shiftpgdn,

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.
