Do they? Which model? I thought most of them came with Mavic wheels where you can remove the stickers from the wheels if you want to.

May not be the official race bike but it looks like it could be.

Hmm, good point. Do not like!

Only one team on Mavic wheels, perhaps a sad reflection of how much the commercial "partnerships" (read ownership!) of Shimano, SRAM and Campag now dominate the peleton.

Coldeportes. Judging by the team kit, I was expecting these Williers to be some of the nicest looking bikes this year. Upsetting.

Who the hell are Coldeportes??

Did you not watch the Giro Del Trentino Rick?!

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Last year they had the nicest kit in pro-cycling.

They also have a few promising climbing talents for the future.

They did most Italian classics last year but no GT's - they are likely to get invites to at least 2 od the three this year.

And if you see anybody cycling around in this, then it's likely to be me:

The door to your frezer?? Are they a fridge company like SMEG? (SMEG, that's another name which is giggle-inducing in English speaking countries)

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – it’s the best kit on two wheels (well apart from the Belgium National Team kit that is). I can get myself some togs now that it sports Wilier!

Shame about the giant White stripe in the middle of the new 2013 kit though.

Cannondale's look shite anyway. They're all about function over form...

I did, but a) I was ironing when I was and b) I was mainly preoccupied with seeing how someone my size fares in the pro peloton.

Then you should have had your eyes on Coldeportes. They are all extremely tiny.

Who's the guy on the right?

What kit is that he's wearing?.....Cannondale seem to have a different kit for all their teams in different disciplines

Last time I rode up Box Hill - Nov I think it was, there were 7 or 8 Coldeportes clad riders ahead of me. The riders were all small, but a bit more stocky than your average pro-rider. I held back initially thinking "no way am I taking on a pro-team", but they were meandering, so I put my head down and went for it. Felt someone on my wheel about half way up and "buried" myself only to be taken by one just before the cafe.

The kit looks great going past both ways.

Oh and it defo wasn't a pro team - just a bunch of (maybe S American) mates that had all got the kit, but they certainly "looked" pro....

In 2013 kit news - Lampre are going to be kitted out by Champ Sys - a big move for them - I've got some charity kit that was done by them and some sponsored shorts and it'll have to be a significant step-up from that...

It will probably just be re-branded kit. Like most pro kit stuff is.

Can't determine the rider but it's cannondale cyclocross kit. I hope cannondale Road take up the kit. It's lovely.
