Maats x Alba Optics: Shades over Splits
Maats x Alba Optics
October 17 - Maats Amsterdam
On Sunday, thousands of runners will take on 21.1 or 42.2 km through Amsterdam, chasing PRs and checking their splits every kilometre. The day before, we’re doing it our way: on two wheels and without looking at the watch.
It’s a social ride with Alba Optics, a brand that has never cared about finishing first. Alba’s story started with an original Italian frame mould from the 80s, which they brought back with new technology to make their first model, the Delta. Since then they’ve stood for riding that’s about quality of life, not performance: getting wherever you want, in any condition, and looking good doing it. Maats has backed that idea from day one, and we’ve been proud partners for almost ten years. We just getting started.....
So leave the gels at home and bring your best shades. No splits, no podium, just a good morning on the bike with good people.
