@PhilDAS and @Daithetooth cheers, yes, was a great time to be there. I was so lucky to work and ride with some brilliant people, at a really exciting time for the business and the sport. Got to design the original Brevet kit off the back of riding stuff like F500 (or F1000). The first jersey and gilet was nearly dropped many times (for a few reasons), and its one of the only products I really fought for because I knew it was solid.
I bought myself a ticket to head out and ride with the US Continental Project in 2009, which had some pretty amazing videos and photography come out of it, and the UK Continental just kept up the momentum. They're kind of buried now, but if you look at Oldest on YouTube, there's a bunch of nice stuff on there - this one stands out
in my mind, having just arrived, and I gave a rundown a few months back.
I helped with a lot of the product archive info for the recent 20th anniversary book, been interesting revisiting the past, realising what a magic time it was.
