Comments
Sales contact Darren Gumm worked with RCC when Castelli supplied RCC before the current Endura deal.
RCC moved away from Castelli after logistics issues around Brexit, and some manufacturing quality issues.
No sample kit received, slow in gearing up for 2025 after the Castelli operation revamped its custom kit offer late 2024.

Fledgling UK sales operation fronted by a Wokingham CC club member. Ciovita designs and manufacturers in South Africa using its own factories.
Kit
Two-tier range (Classic, Race) using the same warm-weather fabrics with different cut, styling and tailoring details. The race jerseys are very nice but the classic jerseys were disappointing. Excellent bib shorts.

Premium.
The volume pricing structure is much more geared up to 50+ item quantities and marketing efforts to date have been mostly focussed at bulk sales into the events market.

Minimum Order Quantities
From qty 1, but retail price applies until 20+ item threshold is reached
Comments
Sales contact Dave Marshall is a Wokingham CC member and occasional Palmer Park road bike evening rider. Helpful and responsive, but the distance between UK and South African company operation is noticable.
