That's a market that is ripe for collapse. I have deluxe Berthoud bags and Rapha jerseys, but that Brooks stuff is WAY over the top. And "Gerald" looks like a poseur by the way. It's just a little too fru fru.

I do like the idea that they've not gone down the carbon fiber uber alles road that the rest of the industry has taken - but that stuff is ridiculous. Problem is it's so expensive most dealers won't stock it.
