As others said (Ryan?), you get what fits you and looks good, especially if it's on sale! I'm quite the Swobo fan-boy, big deal. Doesn't mean I'm into urban fixed gear riding which Swobo kind of seems to appeal to, at least based on their marketing.
And for the record, I think the Rapha adverts are pretty cool. I love the b&w images. A hard man of the road I am not.. Good for them for making cycling look stylish and FUN! I think Riv and Raph are quite complementary; both are trying to keep a neglected art & style viable and in the public's mind. And if they happen to make a buck in the process, good for them!
