Head to Head: Rapha vs ATOC: Stage One


Left Portland for another amazing city, San Francisco. Was lucky enough to get to travel with the Rapha Continental crew. Good dudes. Check that. Pretty fucking great dudes. I have a feeling that you may be seeing more of the Embrocation/Rapha/Good Dudes team-up action.

Just a feeling.
