Rouleur Conversations: Sir Paul Smith in conversation with Simon Mottram at Rouleur Live Dec 07, 2022

Show notes

Fashion and cycling are intrinsically linked, from the elegant style of 50s icon Fausto Coppi, both on and off the bike, through the faster moving team kit designs of the 70s, 80s and 90s, to the huge range of the modern era. We caught up with world-famous clothes designer and cycling fanatic Sir Paul Smith and Rapha founder Simon Mottram, who have worked on several cycling clothing collections together, at the recent Rouleur Live show. The pair have turned a real love and obsession for cycling into huge businesses and they explained to Rouleur editor Edward Pickering where that passion comes from. We also talk to Charlotte Jarps, who paints bespoke designs and artworks on cycling shoes, and we roved the halls of Rouleur Live to ask industry figures what their favourite pro team kit of all time is.

Rouleur Tech - BMC Masterpiece Oct 20, 2022

Show notes

If you're dreaming of the bike you'd buy if money was no object, the BMC Masterpiece range may be near the top of your list. The Swiss company's most exclusive bikes are not made using pre-built sections like most of their carbon rivals, but handmade in a single mould. They're not cheap, but how do you put a price on what some consider to be the world's most beautiful bikes? Dan Cavallari talks to Stefan Christ - BMC's Head of R&D - about the history and future of the Masterpiece.
