Caps Gewiss Bianchi and Gewiss Playbus

I managed to get a couple of Caps from som older Teams. I got really happy when I found those two because it´s really hard to find them. Next on my wishlist for those two Teams is Summergloves and Bibs for Team Gewiss-Bianchi. Hopefully I will find a couple later on.

Musettes / Food bags

Most collectors of Bike memorabilia also looking for the Musettes / food bags (In Swedish "Slungor") which during races contains food and something to drink for the riders, in those you have their lunch or just new energy. In a race when they give those to the riders, the first kilometres after they have been given to the riders is the best place to get them. You can´t find them in other places and if you as me can´t go to Italy or France every year, you have to depend on other collectors or Ebay.

I am always on the hunt for more Musettes, so if you have one or two send me an email. =) I hve already displayed the Musettes from Team Androni Giocattoli so you have to look in an older post to see them,

Team Gewiss Ballan and Gewiss Playbus

Team Gewiss Ballan was a Team which was created in 1994, at first they had De Rosa Bikes, but in 1995 they changed into Bianchi. The General Manager of the Team was Emanuele Bombini, and the Team excisted also in 1996, but then under the name Team Gewisss Playbus.

Items from this Team is pretty hard to find, I just missed a Teambottle from this Team on Ebay, and I cross my fingers that a new one will appear soon again. Jerseys are pretty easy to find, but bibs, gloves, caps and other accessories is almost impossible to find, I was very lucky when I found a pais of Bibs a year ago, and also from a former pro of Team Gewiss Playbus, it´s very common that riders of pro teams cut the bibs in the end of the legs. Maybe they doesn´t need the rubber to keep the fabric in place as we ordinary bike riders need.
