Cycle Chic in Helsinki!

This isn't in the focus of my blog, but I'm happy to inform that famous Cycle Chic visited Helsinki to shoot personal people with personal bikes. Can't wait to see more pictures of the actual photo shooting session.

Which bike do retired pro-cyclist chooce? Paolo Bettini, World Champion is the best example.

He is the chooser of Italian team for world road cycling championships 2010 in Australia. Here he is test riding the World Championship route in Australia with part of the team he chose. During his career he rode several pro-bikes. Last years in Quick-Step he drove Specialized - but before that he was member of Mapei-team and rode - The big C.  When you are retired you are free to choose the bike you really love and want to ride. Here is what Paolo have chosen. You lucky bastard!

Thanks DeRosa representing this beautiful color-theme again! Neo Primato for 2011

My DeRosa Prestige from 80ies has the same color-design than the brand new 2011 DeRosa Neo Primato! Good choise. Steel is real and real vintage original is the one.
