Members of the Colavita/Fine Cooking Pro Cycling Team Line up for 2014 on Stradalli Bicycles
Pompano Beach, FL (PRWEB) January 14, 2014 -- Stradalli Cycle, the high performance carbon bicycle manufacturer, is pleased to announce that its sponsorship of the Colavita/Fine Cooking professional women’s cycling team has officially begun. For the 2014 season Stradalli will provide the team with road and time trial bikes.
This is the first time that Stradalli is sponsoring a professional women’s team. As part of the deal Stradalli is supplying the Colavita/Fine Cooking team with Phantom II time trial bikes and Stradalli RP14 Carbon fiber road bikes.
The Phantom II is one of Stradalli’s most innovative time trial frames. To improve the aerodynamics and reduce drag the Phantom II uses a bayonet style fork that cuts through the air. The tube profiles offer incredible aerodynamics by being among the thinnest available but without losing strength, while the seat tube provides great shelter for the rear wheel. By using an an integrated fork, stem, and handlebar design the Phantom II allows the rider to take a near perfect aerodynamic position which decreases drag and improves speed.
The Colavita/Fine Cooking team will also use the new Stradalli RP14. Designed for speed and performance the RP14 was inspired by Stradalli’s successful Milano and Trebisacce frames. The RP14 has a redesigned tapered head tube and BB30 bottom bracket. Colavita’s bicycles will use Shimano 11 speed DURA-ACE components. Overall the RP14 has been designed for stiffer, highly responsive handling making it equally suitable for criteriums as well as road races.
“We share Colavita’s commitment to cycling and look forward to enhancing the team’s legacy with our high-performance carbon bikes,” said Stradalli Cycle CEO Tom Steinbacher. “For over a decade Colavita has been a great supporter of cycling and we are very proud to sponsor the team during 2014.”
For 2014 the team is headed up by 2013 National Criterium Calendar Champion and 2013 USA CRITS Series Individual Champion Erica Allar. She is joined by her 2013 teammates Lenore Pipes and Jessica Prinner. Other members of the 2014 team include Lindsay Bayer, Laura Brown, Jennifer Purcell, Whitney Schultz, Olivia Dillon and Mary Zider.
