In 2020, Rapha began a partnership with Allied bicycles to make unique limited edition ABLE frames for Rapha Cycle Club (RCC) members. The unique paint scheme is identical to that on the bike of Colin Strickland, the Rapha and Allied sponsored rider, who became a cycling celebrity when he won Dirty Kanza in 2019 and numerous other prestigious gravel events on his Allied.

This Rapha RCC X Allied Able was built with a SRAM Red AXS 1 x groupset, ENVE Composite stem, handlebars, seatpost, computer mount and 3.4 AR disc wheelset.  Honjo Fenders were installed for inclement weather and painted to match.
