Rapha Bidon

Apparently so, as Google tells me Rapha bidons are £10

Snobbery even in the product description.

The unique Rapha design uses smoky grey and black for an understated look that complements your high-end machine. The Rapha bidon comes in one colour and one size only (500ml).

A tenner I would buy a camelbak podium for £7 and spend the change on a drink to go in it.

it needs to be understated to allow the RAPHA to stand out better. I've given up on all that nonsense and now have a total stealth bike with no hint of brand anywhere. But I've got a great new computer that projects a headsup display for all to read. It lists the vast mileage I cover, a suitably high average mph and the astronomical cost of my bike and clothing. I'm now particularly fond of lorries as I can use the side, or rear, as an impromptu screen.

Do you think that if they replaced the bottle again that the new one would be fine; of course not - the same thing would happen again - duh!

The Rapha brand is a complete rip-off and there is a certain 'type' of person that buys into it. Donate the money to charity instead.

Well, I didn't actually buy it, it was given to me!

that's no reason for us not to cover this thread in inverted snobbery

Err, perhaps you should read the text - nowhere do you state that...

is there going to be any attempt to address this point?

I don't think I would bother complaining about a freebie, and i'm even less likely to spend money posting it back!

Beautiful, love it !

I can't believe you wasted your time and money complaining and sending back a FREE water bidon bottle.

I'm surprised you even got a third, I would have told you where to go after the first replacement.

How much did you spend on postage?

Aren't you supposed to chuck it in the hedge when you've finished the contents anyway?
