They have a Campag freehub body but this can be swapped out to Shimano easily and cheaply. Will include wheel bags and the attached Vittoria Corsa Graphine 2.0...

Re: WINTER KIT ORDER
Great news!
Really happy that the 75 anniversary jerseys are available since I missed out previously.
I only need to know if the fit is “race” or “regular” so I know whether to order a large or a medium. Thanks Neil
