Knowledge is power – The basics of classic bikes by Gianluca Zaghi

    Eifelschottern 2018 – With cap and profile

      Great cinema - a day with Time Trial, David Millar and you.

        A little Düsseldorf bike success story – Cyclingworld 2018

        When we launched in March 2013 under the banner of the classic exit visited the Berlin Bicycle Show for the first time, we walked through the halls at the Gleisdreieck with wide eyes. Good location, successful mix...

          Gravel with Brooks - It's cold as ice

          A few weeks ago we planned a gravel ride with Brooks hoping for a really great first spring loop. Nobody could have guessed that snow flurries and temperatures around the freezing point would prevail in...

            Farewell, you Hammersport year. And welcome to 2018!

            Outside, the winter weather is showing its lousy side, inside it's warm and your legs feel thick from the #Festive500 of the last few days. We allow ourselves a short, necessary break. Exactly the right...

              Sunday morning in the cap - the Rapha cap ride number 2.

              Espresso and a good mood before the start of our second trip with Rapha in the run-up to the Düsseldorf Grand Départ. Seventy participants, bright sunshine and a landing in front of the NRW Forum...

                  Road movies on two wheels - movie night in the hat

                  When we make cinema in the cap, it's quite an improvised affair. But last Friday we all experienced that exactly that can also have charm. RAD RACE, Hardbrakers & Marvin Beranek at movie night. The...

                    Suffering is tomorrow - Rapha and the peloton of smiles

                    “If you don't feel like riding, you watch a Rapha video and you immediately want to get on your bike. There's hardly a better motivation. Today we were all part of something like that, in...

                      HARDBRAKERS X RAD RACE – movie night in the hat

                      The Hamburg Hardbrakers crew and the Münster posse from Rad Race shouldered two films and are visiting us in their hats. We roll down the screen, put the beer cold and look forward to a...

                        When the hat goes on a journey...

                        ...then she can tell something. When almost the entire team of the cap sets out on different paths in the direction of Bella Italia, then there are enough stories. A reason for us to fire...

                            Prestige hats on a long journey

                            "Lächle du Sau" is written in curved letters on the redesigned jersey sets and it turned out that this one-liner should actually have the makings of a motto... After this very successful visit from Rapha in May...

                              The Berlin Bicycle Show 2015 – right in the middle instead of just being there

                              In the last two years we have been so impressed by our visits to the Berlin Bicycle Show that this year we accepted the invitation of our friends from the self-bruzzlers couldn't resist and took part with...
