Enjoy while I'm looking up how much vacation time I have, while watching the Giro d'Italia. :rolleyes: viva!

Any idea of how the companies were selected? The video was interesting to watch, but I wondered... why not Campagnolo, Colnago, Pegoretti, Giordana, Sidi...? So many Italian cycling brands.

One of my dreams is to do some bike riding in Italy. And Spain. And France. :D

Loved it! Found this post as we were finishing today's stage of the Giro. I watched a minute and knew my husband would enjoy it, too, so I gave him the link when he was ready to turn off the Giro. Yes, it would have been great to also see other brands, especially Colnago. I wasn't a cyclist when I visited Italy before but now cycling is part of the appeal. Someday I hope!

No idea how they chose which brands to highlight. I wondered too but I think they chose ones that have a long history and perhaps coupled with those that answered their calls :)

Peloton I think is a relatively new mag. I liked the couple issues I had (digital) so might get a subscription.
