FOR 2013, Morvelo has expanded beyond its twice a year men’s clothing line to produce a deeper catalogue of women’s and children’s cycle clothing. The entire collection has seen an overhaul with new materials introduced, while remaining handmade in Europe. Developed in close association with the talent on the Kinesis Morvelo Project, the women’s jerseys are cut to suit the female form and feature all the same technology as the men’s gear. Accompanying the cycle clothing are also women’s tees and hoodies to cover all occasions. To cater for the budding young
cyclists among the family, the kids range
features four of the most popular designs from previous seasons, all hand-printed onto organic t-shirts. To cater for any budding racers Morvélo has also created their best selling Unity design in Youth sizes.

The wheels are a 28 hole front and 32 Hole rear
three Cross spoke build. DT Swiss Competition Double spokes with alloy nipples finish the package, which will retail for £999 for the XT skewer set, while the standard set will come in at £949. Whyte Nylon rim strip designed specifically for these rims are included.
Paul Smith Santini collection Fisher Outdoor Leisure
SIR PAUL Smith has revealed the four jerseys he has designed for this year's Giro d'Italia. The fashion designer and cycle enthusiast got
involved after an informal meeting with race organiser RCS Sport during the 2011 Giro. Sir Smith explained: “Having been a huge cycling
enthusiast and follower of the major tours and classics for many years, it’s an absolute privilege to be asked to design the four jerseys for the Giro d’Italia. I hope that the simple approach that I’ve made is acceptable to all; putting red piping with the pink, cleaning all of the jerseys up to keep them as simple as possible.” Each Giro d’Italia official jersey, produced for the 17th consecutive year by Santini, bears a little drawing of a cyclist by Smith and his iconic stripes on the left sleeves. The inside of the collar of the Maglia Rosa also bears the signature of the late Fiorenzo Magni as a tribute to the three times Giro winner who died last year.
