PEZ Holiday Gift Guide’17 #2
Gift Guide #2: That’s Thanksgiving behind us and the Christmas festivities on the horizon. More suggestions/ideas for the cyclist in your life (or yourself): Every cyclist/wine drinker wants a Campagnolo cork screw, handy bottle, clothing from Sportful, glasses from Rudy Project, velofix gift, Silca race day bag, Gift Certificates to the RBC GranFondo Whistler and Cycliq Integrated Bike Camera/Light Device. A full Christmas stocking.
The Campagnolo BIG the Corkscrew
Campagnolo’s signature artisanship gives the corkscrew its very own distinctive, unique personality. Each stage of its manufacture takes place in Vicenza, in the hands of those who, for years, have used their experience to make Campagnolo products.
Quality materials and careful finishes accompany the sinuous shapes of its various parts. Each component is a characteristic feature of the Campagnolo brand. Like the screws, still today the heirs of a seventies Super Record crankset, an element that adorned the bikes of great names from the past – the likes of Merckx, Indurain and Gimondi.
A telescopic, self-centering bell positions the screw exactly in the middle of the cork and once screwed down, the two levers pull the cork out easily and delicately. This means that the bottle does not get shaken, which would disturb the sediment typical of aged wines. The corkscrew has also been designed to never twist completely through the cork, thus preventing pieces of cork dropping into the wine.
145euro

Rudy Project – The Tralyx SLIM
The Tralyx SLIM, like its big brother, looks as if it has been ‘literally sculpted by the wind,’ with a frame that sweeps back from the brow over the nose bridge, and incorporates large vents all through the architectural frame for maximum heat dissipation. Fans of the Tralyx will not be disappointed, the Tralyx SLIM uses the same hardware and adjustable temple tips and nosepieces for an extraordinary custom fit, while still boasting an aerodynamic flow and structure with an unobstructed field of vision. The frame also features quick change interchangeable lenses – athletes looking to swap between race-worthy RP Optics Multilaser lenses and proprietary ImpactX-2 photochromic options can do so easily.
A gentle tug in the middle of the frame is all it takes to remove the lens from the frame, and new lenses can be easily secured by placing the lens corners in the frame at either end, and then snapping the lens tab into the slot in the middle of the frame. The Tralyx SLIM comes in 5 popular frame colors, Matte Black, White Gloss, Yellow Fluo Gloss, Rubin Gloss, and a brand-new Fire Red Gloss, and 4 lens colors including Rudy Project’s award-winning, unbreakable ImpactX-2 Photochromic lenses in Clear to Black and Clear to Laser Black.
The entire line can be found at www.e-rudy.com, and at any Authorized Rudy Project Retailer nationwide for $249.99 to $274.99 depending on lens choice.

Maratona Gear Bag By Silca – A Better Race Day Bag From Silca That Loves To Travel
SILCA – The Maratona Gear Bag was designed as a cycling specific travel bag for those weekend riding trips and races, yet is versatile enough to be used as a general travel bag. The designers at Silca used feedback gathered from both professional and amateur riders to create a gear bag that addresses the common pain points of traveling with cycling essentials.
In addition to helping you stay organized, the features of the Maratona become even more useful after an event when you want to keep your ride-day kit separate from your other clothing and weekend essentials. Some key features include an internal vented shoe bag with both internal and external access, a vented damp garment bag, and internal water bottle holsters. Additionally, the bag is designed so that it unzips enough to lay flat on the ground to form a small work area.
Outside of the internal features of Maratona, the product development team placed a lot of emphasis on ergonomic design. The bag meets airline size regulations for carry-on luggage; and also has three external handles and stowable shoulder straps that allow you to use the bag as either a duffel bag or a backpack. The three external handles make the bag easy to grab and the convertible shoulder straps allow you adjust the bag for traveling through the airport, the city or your next event with ease and maximum comfort.
Like many of our other bag offerings, Maratona is constructed of 600D Nylon and waxed canvas. This combination of materials has been used by SILCA for years now and has been proven to meet our standards for reliability, durability, and weather resistance. Reflective quilt stitching and SILCA branding throughout the outside complete the aesthetics of the bag while letting those around you know your passion for the sport of cycling.
Specs:
600D construction with waxed canvas panels and reflective quilt stitching
Vented damp garment bag
Vented shoe bag with internal and external access
Internal water bottle storage
Lined external pocket
Stowable shoulder straps to convert into a backpack
Meets airline size regulations for carry-on luggage
MSRP $180.
