Perhaps the most crucial point of contact between the rider and their bicycle comes at the saddle, a highly personal choice for each and every rider that depends on their riding style and body type. One saddle that has been a favorite for many riders in recent history is Selle Italia's Flite model, introduced in 1994 to great appreciation as the ground breaking Flite had light weight and a unique shape that gained many admirers in the peloton and on favorite roads worldwide, and then became loyal devotees once they had a chance to actually ride Selle Italia's Flite. |

CyTech's Italian design and development Elastic Interface Technology offers both comfort and performance for cycling short pads. Based in northeast Italy, CyTech is regarded as the worldwide leader in designing and developing insert pads for cycling shorts. Of the three points of contact with the bicycle, the padding in the cycling shorts has been perhaps the most neglected, that is until CyTech created its Elastic Interface Technology seven years ago.

"When I realized that our company has been in business for sixty years, I really wanted to do something special, something my grandfather Emilio De Marchi would be proud of," declared Mauro Coccia, President of De Marchi Sport in his interview for Italia Bici 2007. "That got us started on creating our limited edition Contour Racing bib shorts, a product we designed to break the rules for cycling shorts."
"My grandfather Emilio De Marchi loved cycling in particular," said Coccia. "Just after end of World War 2, he started a maglificio sportivo to make wool jerseys for local teams here in the Veneto region and today, sixty years later, De Marchi Sport, we are probably the oldest cycling clothing company still around. |
