Caps Not Hats: Public Release
The Caps not Hats movement has keystone support in the PRO pelotong via OPQS. The movement would still be in the shadows without their acknowledgement of this timeless laurel du cycling However, in addition to this association, Superissimo.com and @truebs Bill Strickland (truebs.com) have determined an official release of the #capsnothats insignia for public use would be a good idea. The Caps Not Hats movement has seeped into the high … [Read more...]
Caps Not Hats
It can be argued that times are weak for a cause like CAPS not HATS. One might say it's so unimportant what a champion wears on his head; laurels are the goal, be they a baseball hat or cycling cap or a sombrero. But can't we cherish the things in our sport that are distinct and ultimately ours? While we cry at the ghastly advances in cycling that have tested our ability to accept function over form - head tube junctions swagged enough to keep … [Read more...]
Details of Winning and Top Class
If there has been any question of what the purpose of Superissimo is, the idea is simple - we are custodians of cycling style and enjoyment. So muche focus on the toil of serious, and not on the freedom that being a cyclist provides. This dilema has been ever-present, like dark matter, it is a thing easy to leave undefined and so it can grow too serious. To maintain the direction of joy, we now bring Handle Bar Helpers to the table. Handle … [Read more...]
Subvert the Curved Brim Paradigm!
Style took a left a number of years ago, and we think it's gross. We ask you, our macho sexy friends to join us in a campaign to reinstate Handsome in the pro pelotown. Maybe doping is still okay and de rigeur, but showing up on the podium looking like Ricky Bobby is just plain embarrassing. No wonder Cadel seems always about to cry. With the help of, and motivation from mega-pen, Bill S, we are working hard together to bring … [Read more...]
Superissimo in Drab, the Logo Years.
It's been requested a few times for a piece de la resistance which might be known in the biz as the good old simple logo shirt. So we did it. We kinda like it. Superissimo is proud to introduce the Superissimo Logo T-Shirt. These are comfy. Next level. Like american apparel and best describe as loose metro sexual. You are a cyclist, oui? White print on a military green cotton. A smooth and subtle piece that works well from trench to cubicle to … [Read more...]
La Vie Pugilat
If you look at Bernard Hinault's Wikipedia page it will show that his birthday is November 14th. That fact makes him a Scorpio. Anyone who has been entrapped by the claws of that dynamic can readily share the uniform understanding that a Scorpio is not to be fucked with. Yet as the years have passed, and the Tour has rolled on, we have developed a deep reticence regarding Hinault's diminished yet well respected presence within the order of … [Read more...]
American History M
This image comes to us from friend of Superissimo, Doug Ritter; a man who is no stranger to the Pro Wrench. He possesses a deep & dirty history of the American Professional Cycling saga as we know it. This image is from Spain in 1990. These kids? Doug asks, can you name them? We see some familiar faces here. So fresh, so young. You might even say poussaint? These days of 1990 were so close to the dawning of American Pro Cycling success. The … [Read more...]
Riggo: Superimposed Superhuman
I have a problem with the establishment, authority, the norm, the mainstream, McMansions, etc., but mostly I have a problem with status quo running free. Instinct has me refuse subscription, and take a pass on common memberships until the data are analyzed, but here I am, speaking to a niche. Aren't my ways contradictory? Not really, but also yes, but also who cares: the point was just to draft a semi-concise setup for explaining why … [Read more...]
Retrospective Heaviness: Hampsten ’85
I'm always digging around, thirsty as hell for sips of American greatness. Pre-90s feels better to watch, though I like the Pharma Years, too; it was spectator gold. Stateside, our gauge of roleur seems to have strictly to do with Le Tour, but the dudes who swung the long axe were present in all forms: the 1-days, the WT points, the Giro, and more. What's more, any Euro can tell you that heros don't have to win the whole tour. Heros are born … [Read more...]
