not sure what we are looking at

Are you saying its OK to buy a $500 jacket from them because they show a free movie?

I don't know...that trailer reminded me of Carson Clay's movie in Mr. Beans Holiday.
Doesn't seem very epic, and neither do the 500 dollar Rapha Dapha Doo.

The embedding was disabled, but here is the link...seems a lot like the Rapha Trailer.

So...is this movie about god and olde timey generals and quantum physics?

I'll go watch Road to Roubaix for about the fifth time before I see this. Now that movie kicks arse and makes me want to ride like a hardman.

Don't use Rapha...don't know anything about it...but the movie ostensibly is about Paris Roubaix. My brother sent me the link. He's in the film business and said the film is interesting. Seems like Rapha uses it's extra profit to make movies, and I'm just passing along the info. Sorry if the title was misleading...

Ok, then thanks for the link. I'd of course watch any cycling film/movie

For those not familiar with Road to Roubaix...see if as soon as you can. I think it is incredible. Makes me want to ride whenever I see it.

And for anyone stuck at work for another few hours on this Friday...beware! That link is dangerous, you might have to run out the door and jump on your bike immediately! I only have 1.5 more hours until I can get out for a spin.

I'm a Rapha fan if only because I have always enjoyed the over-the-top pretentiousness of the website. The short film is in keeping with Rapha's quirky style. It's only showing on the Rapha site through the end of Friday, GMT.

It's a shoddily made jacket anyway.

The Rapha stuff is nice, its the pricing most people have issues with. Kind of like Assos.
