Really, where did Grant Peterson go?  GP wrote the epic poem.

There was nothing about the Hilsen launch - or any Riv campaign - that
reaches the overstated hyperbole of Rapha marketing.

Riv and Rapha make expensive merchandise for cyclists.  Other than
that, there is nothing shared between the two.  GP mentions a lot of
competing cycle (as well as other) merchandise.  I have never once
read anything from him about Rapha.
