Wyndy Milla custom cycling kit

We have just delivered some spanking new white kit to Wyndy Milla – they are an exclusive cycling club, catering for riders in the London area who want something different to the more traditional clubs with their rules and etiquette. They also provide personal cycle training and a range of other personal fitness products.

We have worked with Henry Furniss (who owns Wyndy Milla with his wife Nasima) for several years, since he was an elite rider. He likes white kit (it looks great with a tan!), but making custom white cycling shorts is not easy, if you don’t want to show off more than your rippling muscles on the bike. Fortunately at Carvalho Custom we have special lycras that we use that guarantee no transparency, so sparing your blushes.

Wyndy Milla are going to make more of their kit in different colours, so get in touch with them at their website if you would like to get hold of some for yourself – www.wyndymilla.com .

Dolmen CC new kit

We have been supplying a lot of cycling clothing to Ireland over the last year or so and we have just sent some custom cycling kit to Dolmen CC in Co Clare. They are an active club with a race scene and they also organise regular training rides at the weekend – they are very welcoming to new members and you can contact them through their site. They have a fantastic corner of the world to ride a bike in, although I bet they get more rain than we do here in Portugal!

Anyway, many thanks to Martin and all the riders at Dolmen CC and I hope you have a great season.

Seeds Cycling

We have supplied Seeds Cycling for a couple of years now with custom cycling kit. They are based near Dartford and are a smallclub of 36 members, but judging by the amount of kit they buy, they are growing rapidly!

They do regular club training runs at different levels and they have a growing race scene as well as organising trips to sportives (they are doing the Marmotte this year for example – 13.8 kms at an average of 7.9% and 21 hairpins: I bet you wish you were back in Dartford when you get to the bottom of Alpe d’Huez!).

Anyway our sincere thanks to Seeds Cycling and I hope you all have a great 2009 on the bike.

BSPU Triathlon Finland

We have been supplying BSPU Triathlon in Finland for a couple of years now – they are one of the leading Finnish tri clubs in a country well known for producing exceptional endurance athletes.

The club is based in Porvoo, near Helsinki on the south coast of Finland (so only very cold there, as opposed to absolutely bloody freezing further north). We are selling more and more custom tri and cycling kit to Scandinavia now – because our whole business is run over the internet and we distribute directly from where the kit is made in Portugal, we can sell to anywhere in the world without having distributors stick a fat margin on the kit before it reaches clients.

BOB MBC

We are delighted to have supplied Berks on Bikes MBC (http://www.bobmbc.com) with their kit for 2008. They are a mountain bike club based in Crowthorne, Berkshire, with an active racing scene as well as organising regular rides in swinley Forest and elsewhere.

We supply custom downhill jerseys as well as mountain bike specific cycling jerseys, made from a harder wearing microfibre (NK Microfresh) that is more resitant to attack from shrubs and branches as well as rubbing from camelbacks and similar.

Mountain biking is growing at an unbelievable speed, and there are lots of companies now organising mountainbike holidays in the sun, such as http://www.a2z-adventures.com in Portugal and http://www.allmountainexperience.com in Italy. Can there be a better way to see a new country than by bike?

Racing 795

We were very pleased to supply custom cycling and triathlon kit to Racing 795 in South East Ireland. They are a growing but active club and we made them some sharp looking kit. racing 795 cycling & tri kit

We have been delighted to supply many of the leading triathlon clubs in Ireland in 2008 and we look forward to 2009, when we will be introducing some improvments to the fit of our tri suits to give a more contoured fit, especially on the legs and waist and several improvements to our fabrics in our cycling range.

They are located about 20 minutes ride from Mont Ventoux (about an hour and a half from Marseille) and have 6 ensuite rooms to offer cyclists and some fantastic rides in the surrounding area.

Tri London kit

Tri London is one of the UK’s leading clubs for top level triathletes and we are very proud to have supplied their kit for the last couple of years.jo carritt Their members include Jo Carritt who has just come first in the Wisconsin IM for non pro athletes – see her website at http://www.joannacarritt.co.uk/ – her blog is a masterpiece in understated suffering.

We supply all our clubs with exactly the same quality of custom kit that we supply the leading IM athletes – we will not compromise on quality. Best of luck to Tri London athletes in 2009 and best of luck to Jo in particular (as she organises their kit order!).

Lincoln Wheelers

We were very proud to supply Lincoln Wheelers with their kit for 2008 and I am glad to say that they have been very satisfied customers. We had to put right a few chamoises for them as there was a production defect, but of course we will always replace any defective item that we produce as we offer a 12 month guarantee on everything we produce and cover any postage costs involved should any item need to be returned.

We are also very lucky that Lincoln Wheelers have been very helpful in testing for us some new ladies non-bib shorts and ladies jersey that we have recently developed. We are constantly adapting and changing our range and we are always looking for riders to test the new kit out as you need a lot of opinions to generate some worthwhile feedback.

Best of luck to Lincoln Wheelers for the 2009 season and thank you so much for the help with the testing!
