WITH ALBA OPTICS WE WANT TO BRING THE ICONIC SHAPES OF THE PAST BACK TO LIFE, ADAPTING TO THE LATEST MODERN TECHNOLOGY. Our story began with the search for an original mould. We wanted to find a frame that was designed and produced in Italy during the 80s and bring it to life using new technologies. From there we launched our first model: the DELTA. Producing in Italy has always been a priority and a fundamental value to our business ethos. We are proud of our heritage and the deep connection our country has with both the cycling and eyewear industries. We select production partners who share the goal in minimising our environmental impact while setting a high standard of working conditions. These values align in the creation of sustainable products, processes and community projects. The ALBA Optics team proudly stands behind athletes all over the world, with a profound respect for those who strive to improve their performance and realise their dreams. We therefore focus on offering a design product that is beautiful and meets the highest performance standards possible. We share a passion for cycling culture, outdoor sport and nature. These values are celebrated through our designs, our campaigns and collaborative community projects. We believe it’s time for a new type of activity, that does not speak of performance and results but speaks of quality of life. The goal is not to finish first, but to get wherever you want, in any condition. Piergiorgio & Luca Alba Optics Founders

2007 to present. Started by a cyclist, sharing a good thing, with fellow cyclists. The philosophy remains the same, yet so much changed. C-bear went all out and adopted the precision cnc alum metal housing bottom bracket, rather than the ad-hoc temporarily “bandage” add this , add that, plastic adaptor approach. Look around nowadays, it is almost standard. As bb standard proliterates, C-bear again the first, with a silencing bb for osbb campagnolo combination.

In 1996, Cervélo launched with two road and two time trial/triathlon models. It was immediately at the leading edge of bike technology; maybe a bit too much so as market acceptance was initially slow. But in the year 2000, the International Cycling Union brought in quite restrictive equipment rules, and many cutting edge bikes became illegal. Cervélo had anticipated the new rules and unveiled a complete new and vastly improved model line. Where its competitors were forced by the rule changes to take a step back or discontinue altogether, Cervélo opened up a significant technological gap and demand started to soar.

Why choose Challenge? What's the point in training till you drop if you're going to be losing efficiency and speed in your tires? Ride quality is paramount, and no other tire offers the supple, responsive traction of a Challenge Tubular, eliminating barriers in achieving your maximum speed and potential. Supple tires not only offer a sublime ride, they reduce rolling resistance, and enable more precise handling and a greater range of pressures. They adapt quickly as the tire changes shape while cornering and rolling, which increases road surface contact and grip while cornering, plus shock absorption as you pass over irregularities in the road. When searching for a Tubular or Open Tubular, consider the following factors, all of which play a role in the tire's performance. Tubulars and Open Tubulars: Tubular tires are, well, tubular. They are sewn shut around a Seamless Latex Inner Tube, already in a tube shape, and are mounted and glued directly on a rim, rather than around a tube. However, they require a purpose-made tubular rim that would usually only be used on race day to avoid damage. Open Tubulars mount like a standard clincher, but are made using the same artisan Handmade process as our Tubulars and maintain most of the suppleness and ride quality gained from a Handmade Tubular.

In 1948, a good professional racer, with 15 years' pedalling in his legs and a knack for mechanics, decided to make use of his brilliant intuitions, developed during the miles run on every kind of road. This man was Cino Cinelli.

I am a man who goes straight to the point. And, by force of habit, I never look back and count the years I have spent making frames. I prefer to look ahead because, after working for half a century, I am still convinced that the bicycle has room for improvement. And just as I have done up till now, in the future too I want to contribute to the evolution of this fascinating vehicle, which is at the same time so simple and so complicated.

Nevi was born in 1992 thanks to the determination of the co-founders Finazzi Sergio e Consuelo.From the beginning the purpose was to stand out from other bicycle frames brands, this just choosing to work a noble material such as titanium. Unfortunately, being considered, in those years, a "strategic" material, it was not easy to start from the beginning, both for what concerns the knowledge of the raw material, even for regarding the availability of the material itself. The first investigations on what were the American companies to take care of sale of titanium were made via a branch of the Bank Cariplo in America. Finazzi took the desire to begin this adventure by the passion of the cycling world: it was a professional cyclist from 1987 to 1990 in the teams Remac-Fanini, Fanini-Seven Up, Verynet Juvenes and Chateaux D'Ax, famous was his stage won at Tirreno-Adriatico 1987, third overall in the Tour of Britain in 1987 and seventh place at a historic stage of the Tour of Italy. This is the edition of 1988, which set off from the Chiesa Valmanenco and saw the arrival of the racers in Bormio exhausted from cold and bad weather faced on the Passo Gavia. Queen of the stage was the snow and this very intense experience, full of sacrifice, but also led to important memories, along with a passion for the mountain itself, the choice of the company brand: NEVI in fact.

ROTOR Bike Components comes from one of the nerve centers of technological development in Spain, the Aeronautical Engineering School of Madrid. The basic idea of the ROTOR System comes from this school where some students developed the initial prototype in 1995. After the Head of the school approved the project, the University's Manufacturing Department helped with the creation of the prototypes. The designers decided to stablish a company to complete this product development and start a business venture. After the first working ROTOR bycicle wass introduced internationally, Dr. Conconi showed a huge interest in the idea and asked for a bicycle to carry out a study on the performance of the system, concluding that the system provided advantages more than evident compared to traditional crank systems. Dr. Alfredo Cordova, from Valladolid University also found that later versions of ROTOR System provided biomechanical obvious advantages

Made in Italy since 1961 Our frames are designed and assembled by hand in the Titici Hub in Asola, in the province of Mantua. This is where our designers’ ingenious ideas are made real by dedicated skilled artisans who take care of all the tiniest details of production. Nothing is left to chance: every Titici bicycle is the product of painstaking care, top quality manufacture and cutting-edge technologies. All with that unmistakably Italian taste for style and aesthetic refinement. We don’t just make carbon frames: we mould works of art. DESIGN At Titici we design with total commitment. Every detail we add to every bike that bears the TITICI name must have a clear functional advantage for us to implement it. By doing so, this perfectly fits with our needs to develop bikes with the latest technology, with laser sharp focus on quality, function and design. Our team of professional designers, engineers, manufactures and passionate cyclists are guided by the same vision, a common threat that ties us together. We are guided by you and your special requirements as a cyclist. Our athletes, innovative material developments and high-tech production methods are always at the forefront of our thoughts and directly influence the ultimate form and function of every Titici bike. By consistently working with these four dimensions in mind we continue to design with the aim to always be at the forefront. We put our hearts into every detail. This is what we call total commitment. HANDMADE TO MEASURE Our frames are designed and assembled by hand in the Titici Hub in Asola, in the province of Mantua. This is where our designers’ ingenious ideas are made real by dedicated skilled artisans who take care of all the tiniest details of production. Nothing is left to chance: every Titici bicycle is the product of painstaking care, top quality manufacture and cutting-edge technologies. All with that unmistakably Italian taste for style and aesthetic refinement. We don’t just make carbon frames: we mould works of art ONLY YOURS Their passion, character, and specific physical qualities make every cyclist different from all the others. Simply unique. And we’re convinced that bicycles should be just as unique. Our frames are made on the basis of the cyclist’s anthropometric data, geometrically calibrated to the millimetre to produce the perfect cyclist-bicycle team. Our artistic painters can express the cyclist’s personality with custom colours and graphics. Titici is a bespoke creation, like a tailored outfit to wear for a truly new cycling experience. TRADITIONALLY INNOVATIVE. THE FUTURE BEGAN IN 1961 History is the mark people make on the world. Titici is a line more than half a century long, extending into the future. Ever since we started out, we’ve been obsessed with coming in first. This is why we patented our famous “Fuego” Bmx in 1980, launched our mtb frames in 1984, and became the first to unveil a 29’’ mtb in Italy in 2007. Flexy inaugurates a new era in frame construction technology. Some people lock tradition away in museums. But we see it as a fire to keep fuelling day after day.

A success story Founded in 1981, Veloflex started with production of manufactured rubber and plastic articles for printers. Only later, thanks to the great passion for bicycle of the two founders, Veloflex started production of tubulars and tyres for competition. In a small working laboratory in the north of Italy, started the adventure that lead Veloflex to be the most appreciated producer of bicycle tyres for competition.

ABOUT VISION Since its birth in Kona in the ‘90’s, Vision has been synonymous with a no-expense spared assault on wind resistance. Recent years have seen the innovative application of carbon fiber and the creation of dream-like shapes to enhance performance. Perhaps no aerobar line has seen as much imitation, usually with limited success. Following yet another triumphant season in triathlon and TT, Vision is again the brand to beat. In Ironman competition, Vision continues to lead the way by innovating slippery-fast aero products with proper fit adjustment, allowing the rider to remain comfortable and push their limits in race conditions. It has taken many years of advancement to properly combine aerodynamics with adjustability and fit. 2012 continues the quest for speed with the new Metron TFA - The Fastest Aerobar. TFA is UCI legal, exceptionally light, and has been rigorously tested using Computational Fluid Dynamics and the wind tunnel. Along with TFA, Vision continues to lead the industry with adjustment friendly semi-integrated, clip-on, and UCI legal bar options, as well as the revolutionary Metron groupset.

Vittoria: The world of cycling is constantly and rapidly changing. The number of cycling enthusiasts is growing in all areas: competition, amateur cycling and practical, ecological daily mobility. .

Wilier was born in 1906 thanks to the brilliant idea of a trader from Bassano, Pietro Dal Molin, of building bicycles on his own account. His forge or "Steel horses" rose as a small workshop along the banks of the river Brenta, at Bassano del Grappa, and it became more and more successful by keeping up with the increasing demand for bicycles.
