3T Cycling
3T is an Italian cycle sport company associated with many champion cyclists. It was founded in 1961 and soon won a reputation for lightweight racing cycle componentry.
It pioneered the use of aerospace-grade aluminum alloys, and worked closely with pro cyclists to shape handlebars to their exact requirements. 3T's first aero bar set the pattern for all cyclists aiming for sheer speed against the clock.
3T switched production to carbon-fiber composite materials and in 2008 returned to pro cycling after several years' absence. For the 2008 season it sponsored the CSC team, which won the Tour de France. 3T sponsors three pro teams for the 2009 professional season.

Famous quotes containing the word cycling:
“If all feeling for grace and beauty were not extinguished in the mass of mankind at the actual moment, such a method of locomotion as cycling could never have found acceptance; no man or woman with the slightest aesthetic sense could assume the ludicrous position necessary for it.”
—Ouida [Marie Louise De La Ramée] (1839–1908)
