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. On Jun 3, 8:12 pm, bpus...@aol.com wrote: > Are you kidding? The whole Homer Hilsen hype with the epic poem and > everything? It was brilliant!
