Cycling Fashion Week

This week, Tony and Warren have an in-depth conversation with Steven from the Medellín-based kit brand Givelo. We talk about their design process, manufacturing at their factory down the street from their office, and why so much kit out there is so expensive. Plus, we debate the question, is cycling dead (for the hype beasts)?
