Rapha has revealed two new special editions, the Milano-Roma Collection and the Hidden Leaves Collection, a collaboration with Canyon//SRAM's Hannah Barnes.
The Milano-Roma Collection is intended as a celebration of the race of the same name. You haven't heard of it? That's not entirely surprising because it was run only twice — first in 1906 and then in 1918, so this year is the centenary of the second edition.
The 666km (414-miles) race took place over two stages: Milan to Bologna and Bologna to Rome. Both editions were won by Carlo Galetti, a three-time winner of the Giro d'Italia.
Highlights of the collection include:
Milano-Roma Merino Wool Track Jacket (£215), made in Italy using a double knitted merino wool.
Milano-Roma Jersey with Merino Arm Warmers (£160), again made from merino wool in Italy.
Milano-Roma Cotton Cap (£30), made from cotton and lined on the seams with anti-bacterial tape.
The collection is available now. Go to Rapha's website for more info.
The Hidden Leaves collection is a collaboration with Hannah Barnes of Women’s WorldTour team Canyon//SRAM and it's designed to look autumnal.
Highlights of the collection include:
Hidden Leaves Souplesse Jersey II (£120), made from a quick-drying and sweat-wicking fabric.
Hidden Leaves Long Sleeve Aero Jersey II (£140), coming soon, the long sleeve version of the Souplesse Aero Jersey.
Hidden Leaves Souplesse Bib Shorts II (£180), cut with as few seams as possible and featuring a women's seatpad.
Again the collection is available now. Go to Rapha's website for more info.
The 'irreversible damage to the environment' is being caused by motor traffic - so deal with that before complaining about trees being replaced.
This is an interesting feature actually; I reckon the savings are probably zero unless you exchange the car for a bike and be very resolute about...
Ffs!...
So, let's see: we were sitting with out bikes next to us, on public land. After walking them up the hill. How is your comment relevant ?...
True. Daughter's bike was stolen by railings like in picture being cut. Cordless angle grinders get through cast iron very easily for very little cost
Sometimes (depending on where you live) but a driving course or 3 points when potentially they could have killed someone is pretty trivial. ...
I thought UK is the only country in the world that hates cyclists.
Except Bikeinn are not allowed to ship Garmin to uk!!! so really great offer unless you are in UK!
Heartbreaking news, so young so much to live for. My heartfelt condolences to her family, friends and team mates.
Looking forward to not queueing/filtering round bedminster bridges.
