Rapha Bicycle Collection

Rapha partners with renowned bike-makers to produce a limited run of four classics

I saw these on Cool Hunting the other day and I haven't been able to stop thinking about how sexy they are. These Rapha approved bikes are a limited-edition run available for the next two years. They have a commuter bike, Beloved Every Day, designed by Cycle Works Oregon and built by Chris King for $5,195. Racer XCR Criterium designed by Cinelli and Columbus Steel. This bike takes four months to build for €3,500. For distance, XS frame by Independent Fabrication. XS bikes take eight to ten weeks for completion and start at $6,795. The all-terrain bike Continental was dreamed up by select Rapha team members, Ira Ryan and Tony Pereira. The Continental will be produced twice a year in two batches of 50, $5,000 each and takes four months for completion. If you have an extra $5k or $6k lying around, buy one of these.
