This was a Boba Guys mobile station idea but I think we’re going to go with something else.
Met Julie just the night before…the next day she becomes the current Single Speed Cyclocross World Champion! Must have been the lucky tenugui I gifted her that did the trick! #sscxwc
Headed to Taiwan on a two week media press tour, all expenses paid. Riding a day (200km) of the Taiwan Cup race and getting race coverage for Embrocation Cycling Journal. Oh and stealing world-class boba recipes for Boba Guys. Updates will come via Twitter: YMFY.
The distinctive look of the Rapha Condor Sharp pro team is something else that has always set the team apart. The all black design has, in the past five years, become a recognised classic. From the moment the Rapha Condor team sponsored its first riders in 2006 to the present day, the kit (and therefore the look of the team) has remained true to its original concept. It has not been compromised for sponsors, staying with the highly recognisable and remarkably simple black and white design from day one. Other teams still look on enviously, our attitude and style working harmoniously for the success of all.
To put it simply, this team always made a point of looking better than any other. And this made us a better known and a much more respected outfit. It gave us stature beyond, on occasion, our actual cycling prowess. Any time an organisation comes up with something that puts them ahead then others will inevitably follow – and follow they have. In a few short years the face of the peloton has become bereft of cluttered sponsors logos, the lines have all become clean and the colour palette of bike teams has changed to one of simpler, less gaudy colours.
The modest but undeniable genius of Rapha Condor is that they did it first without referencing anyone else, bar the essential history of the sport that the team is now indisputably a part of. (via Rapha)
