Jimmi and Emily two thirds of Cade Media used to run Attacus Cycling
two things I was not aware of:
1. Materials (with the exception of waterproof material for rain jackets) are available to any kit company to purchase be it small brand like Attacus or big brand like PNS. It is just not the lycra, but zips, threads, chamois and even the factories that make the kit are available to anybody willing to pay.
2. It is cheaper in materials and labour to make bib shorts than jerseys. As they just sell less bibs, other costs are higher.

One thing I was thinking about when watching: High-end brands like Assos claim they develop their own fabrics. Do they just lie and they actually rebrand generic fabrics?
