Morvélo Bicycle Apparel


We all like to look our best in cycling, its true, we all just want to stand out from each other. There aren't many cycle clothing brands that move away from the generic colour schemes, but we have found one that we like alot! Morvélo Bicycle Apparel are one of our favourite clothing providers of both casual and on bike kit. Set up by Oli Pepper and Dave Marcar in 2009, the duo offer limited edition t-shirts and cycling apparel which means you've got little chance of running into someone wearing the same design 
(it's embarrassing when that happens).



Here are a few of our favourite designs from 2011.

There were some special edition designs for 'le Tour' that were eye catching.
Morvélo even put their own spin on the world champs jersey.
And finally the iconic 't' of the winged emblem a classy classic!

Bianchi-Gucci

You wouldn't think fashion icon's would jump on the band wagon that is cycling, but they have once again. Rapha and Paul Smith were the original match made in money heaven, but Bianchi and Gucci are giving it a try now with their range of road bikes and designer helmet.
   The helmet is made from a ploycarbonate and will only cost the sum of $890...peanuts compared to the bikes.

The sleek city singlespeed offers a retro look with chrome chain and seatstays. A really nice looking bike but you would ride it with caution if you knew you were sat on a bike with a price tag of $6,200!


Oh wait there's another feather to the Bianchi-Gucci bow with this matt black 11-speed carbon hybrid, for the upper class recreational rider, the price tag for this is even more air gasping. Take a deep breath and prepare yourself for this...ready?...it's $14,000...

Bianchi-Gucci have definitely got something here, a load of money and a very elite name tag. They all look good, but do they really need those kinds of price tags??? we think not.
