#CyclingProject | Twentyeightco: Made in London apparel for urban cyclist

Hi riders! Today want to present you a new crowdfunding project from London (UK) called Twentyeightco, they need our support, and we would like to support them and..who nows, maybe soon we could review their urban cyclist in our section "product review". But to achive this great target first they need to pledge 16.000 pounds...

What is Twentyeightco?

Made In London, a brand created for the fashion conscious urban cyclist in mind. They produce high quality garments suitable for cycling

Henri 1865 | Fashion Cycling Wear

Today we want to present you one of our new sponsors, Henri 1865, but why this name?

If you search in Wikipedia "Henri Disgrange" you can read:

Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865, Paris – 16 August 1940) was a French bicycle racer and sports journalist. He set 12 world track cycling records, including the hour record of 35.325 kilometres on 11 May 1893. He was the first organiser of the Tour de France.

Carving their philosophy from the Godfather of cycling himself Mr. Desgrange, Henri clothing takes us back to his beginnings as an urban cyclist that once roamed the Parisian streets. A firm believer in the man not the artifice of his device, Henri strays away from any Lycra and remains loyal to the raw vintage of Le tour de France. 
Strictly for the urban Henri doesn’t follow fashion systems but rather places its focus on timeless designs & functional fabrics . Seamlessly easing you through the streets to the office, in one look, that encapsulates sophistication and Functionality. 

“We are getting soft.. as for me, give me a fixed gear”

About Wingedstore Official Cinelli Store

HISTORY

In the 80s and 90s Cinelli owned and operated a series of cycling stores under the name ‘Gran Ciclismo’ based in Milan. These stores, originally conceived by Antonio Colombo, were revolutionary and a forerunner in what would eventually become high-end sports retail. The cutting edge ‘Concept Store’ format dedicated almost entirely to a single brand was unheard of at the time. Winged Store is the evolution of this idea, a single point of reference in a truly expressive environment available for the world to experience.

MISSION

Our mission is to spread the spirit of Cinelli. Brought to life by Cino Cinelli in 1948 and continued by Antonio Colombo when he took the reins in 1978 and built a cult icon for generations of cyclists all over the world. We are enthusiastically dedicated to keeping alive the heritage of the Cinelli and Columbus trademarks, their beauty and value for money. We want their names and logos to endure, and we want as wide an audience as possible to appreciate them, and to enjoy the Cinelli experience for now, and for the future.

Cycology Tees: FYXD, TRInity and Share The Love

FYXD

FYXD by Cycology Wear

Simplicity. Single Speed. Fixed gear. Track bicycle. No gears, no brakes. Beautiful lines. Bleach on ink and biro rendering.

TRInity: a group of 3. This drawing represents Triathlon with the 3 bicycle chain links of swim, bike & run. It’s like religion for people who love this sport, they live, breathe, eat, talk, triathlon. Hence the shape of a cross and the religious overtones of Trinity.

About Cycology Wear

The Cycology clothing brand was borne out of frustration with the lack of authentic casual cycling wear and running wear for the dedicated athlete.

Their unique t shirt designs are hand drawn by their resident artist who practices obsessively what she preaches, draws, sketches, paints...

Their cycling wear is made of the highest quality cotton and our prints have a soft feel that ages with style! Three new tee designs will be released in mid June, one addition to each of our Triathlon, Running and Cycling ranges.

Conclusion

• Designs are really cool for woman or man, really genuine for fixed gear riders
• Quality of the products is great
• We recommend this products by Cyclogy if you are a fixed gear crazy!

We want to thanks to Michael Tomchin for give us the opportunity to test this products, thanks Michael!

Bamboo T-Shirt Titanium Bike by Wear Chemistry Review

Bamboo collection by Wear Chemistry

So far we have always conducted reviews of products directly related to bikes, but this time we have expanded the scope and we will conduct a review of clothing because ... usually when we rode bikes dressed ... (yes, I know , some do naked ...) and a very important part are our shirts, shirts that normally show our likes and trends ... and of course, our love for fixies!

 

Well, today we're going to do a review of a rather curious shirt is made ​​of bamboo, and is closely related to the world of bikes .. now we see!

 

The Bamboo T-Shirt by Wear Chemistry Review

Bamboo collection by Wear Chemistry

Well guys, we will make a review of this T-Shirt, we have it in size L, and vintage denim colour. About the size, as you can see in the pictures I'm not a "fashion model", and size L is a "little" just and fitted for my bulky body, I think it would be nice if was manufactured in size XL. 

But this is not the most interesting about this T-Shirt, it has a logo mixing bikes and the element of the periodic table of titanium (Ti), as you sure know, some bikes are made of Titanium...it's a really cool design!


It is made ​​with 70% bamboo and 30% cotton, so touch is really smooth and fresh, much finer and comfortable than typical shirts made with 100% cotton, congratulations Wear Chemistry!

 

Conclusion

• The quality of the fabric is of good quality.

• You can only buy it in size S, M and L, I think they should make the XL size ...

• It is perfect for use throughout the year, but with heat provides better breathability than cotton shirts.

• Shows your passion for bikes ... and that's always good!
