Retro cycling Jersey Molteni Black - REDTED
€59,50Cycling Jerseys - Men - REDTED
A replica retro cycling jersey from our exclusive RedTed collection. With the look of the past and the comfort of the present.
The RedTed Performance retro cycling jerseys have a silicone grip at the back and an elastic band with a grip at the front. Together with the elastic band at the (somewhat longer) sleeve, this ensures the jersey stays perfectly in place while cycling. The fabric is 100% polyester with a micro-hole ball pattern (breathable and lightweight).
These cycling jerseys are aerodynamic - so 'slim fit'; just a bit more tailored than the standard Retro Cycling jerseys. Because of the flatlock stitching, the jersey is sturdy and the seams do not irritate. The cycling jerseys are finished with a hidden long YKK heavy duty zip and have 3 large back pockets which are closed with an elastic band. The RedTed Performance cycling jerseys are available in 8 sizes, from S till 5XL.
ATTENTION: 'Italian' sizing and 'slim fit' so be sure to choose one size bigger than your usual European dress size. CHECK OUT THE SIZING TABLE.

Retro Radtrikot Molteni Schwarz - 1958-1976
A RedTed replica of the black cycling jersey from Molteni. This comfortable cycling shirt is a replica of the jersey of the Italian professional cycling team Molteni from the period 1958-1976. This cycling jersey is from the Merckx period (1971-1976).
Molteni was a former Italian cycling team, which was active from 1958 until the end of 1976. Molteni was a salami producer based in Arcore, in the region of Milan. Molteni won 663 stages as a cycling team. Many of these stage wins were credited to Molteni's most famous cyclist: Eddy Merckx. This Belgian rider won both the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia five times.
There were many famous cyclists in this team such as the Italians Gianni Molta, Michele Dancelli, Marino Basso, the Swiss René Binggeli, the Luxembourg Edy Schütz and the German Rudi Altig. From 1971-1976, the Molteni team was built around its leader Eddy "the Cannibal" Merckx. In this Merckx period the team consisted of a mix of Belgian and Italian riders. The Belgian riders included Joseph Bruyère, Jef de Schoenmaecke, Frans Mintjens, Jos Spruyt, Jos Huysmans and Vic van Schil. Superman was 1971 and 1972 "Monsieur Bordeaux-Paris" Herman van Springel. In the Merckx period the team consisted almost exclusively of Belgian riders, in 1974 the Italian Molteni team consisted of only Belgian riders. There were two Dutch riders for Eddy, in the first year in 1971 it was Rini Wagtmans and in the last year (1976) Cees Bal. Two well-known Italian cyclists who were part of this cycling team were Gianni Motta and Marino Basso. These Italian cyclists had respectively 48 and 34 stage wins to their name. In 1976 Molteni stopped sponsoring the cycling team definitively.
