mrcyclingworld — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 06:16:48 +0000

MrCyclingWorld is proud to source some of the most rare yet popular items from professional cycling. A few weeks ago we told you about the limited edition World Champion Camelbak Podium bottles we scored, and today we introduce another great item to our collection. A genuine team Mapei bidon, as photographed.

As you might know recently we have started to stock the full range of Mapei kit, perfect for every fan. But then when we stumbled across these collectable gems, we simply had to have them.

Mapei Bidon by Elite

Made in Italy by Elite, these bidons are a very rare find indeed. Comes to you brand new, with the discrete but forever stylish Mapei livery, if ever you wanted a piece of cycling memorabilia that will have all your friends green with envy this is it. Available in very limited quantities, sorry.

A wide mouth opening and screw top lid makes it a nice item to match your Colnago Mapei frame :P

We at MrCyclingWorld pride ourselves on stocking some retro gear which is often otherwise impossible to get. No doubt about it – just check our blog to see what we’ve got and why we love it so much!

For this reason we are very proud to announce our latest product in stock – some sweet gloves of the former super team Mapei. As with all Santini kit, they are 100% handmade in Italy and are often referred to as the kit supplier to the professional peloton.

These gloves feature a fine grade mesh backing, with comfortable padding on the palm – but not too much. They are breathable & have a nice and long velcro wrist closure to ensure they can adjust to your personal preference. A terry towelling (“snot wipe”) thumb wipe completes what is a sensational pair of gloves, in honour of a sensational team, produced by a sensational manufacturer.

Santini Mapei Bib Knicks

mrcyclingworld — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 00:42:02 +0000

Another item for the serious retro collectors out there: the re-produced Mapei bib knicks. Again made in Italy by Santini, these will not last as we all know how comfortable Santini gear is. And how rare Mapei kit is.

Features a Coolmax chamois padding and silicone leg gripper, this is quality stuff.

We have a limited range of sizes and matching kit, our only advice is get it while it’s hot. It’s still gonna be retro fashion in 5 years, so grab yourself a few sets if you want!

Santini Mapei Gore Windstopper Vest

mrcyclingworld — Sun, 17 Oct 2010 07:35:39 +0000

On a recent stock hunting expedition to Europe, we happened to stumble across some very rare kit made by Santini. The first thing that hit us was these lovely Windstopper vests. Featuring a smooth windproof fabric combined with a velcro vest, you can be sure that no wind will be penetrating these bad boys!

Any of the retro die hards out there will understand, we simply had to get them & bring them home with us! Unfortunately stock was very limited & as such sizes & availability is very low.

Get in now while you can, these items will not be around forever (although the Mapei legacy might be!).

The Mapei Hatrick – 1996

mrcyclingworld — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 17:45:23 +0000

Picture this. A fine, still but crisp Sunday morning. A typical French spring morning. It’s April 1996. The Northern European Spring Classics remain a mystery to most of the anglophones around the world, referring to their copy of English magazines that are distributed to the newspaper stalls many months after the races have come and gone. Twitter, Facebook and even for that matter Google hadn’t even been heard of in these days. Yes my friends, 1996 seems ancient times.

Squadra Mapei, lead by the Lion of Flanders himself, Johan Museeuw

With still two hours of racing to go an incredible move is made off the front of the peloton that most of us could only dream of. Three Mapei-GB teammates roll away by themselves. They would never be caught, and the finish would be one of the most talked about issues in world cycling.

The Belgian Lion of Flanders, Johan Museeuw rolled across the finishing line unchallenged with his Italian colleagues, Gianluca Bortolami and Andrea Tafi drifting in behind.

The infamous Mapei Paris-Roubaix hat-trick, 1996

There was clearly some tension amongst the Mapei-ers in the approach to the line on the Roubaix velodrome, but a dream had come true. Three Mapei men on the podium. A Mapei hatrick.

And in case that wasn’t enough to cement the legend that is, mapei repeated the effort in 1998 and again in 1999, each time with different riders at the helm.

Legendary stuff.
