  • De Marchi recreates one-of-a-kind, once lost Coppi rainbow jersey – In what is something of a wild recreation, Italian cycling clothing icon is bringing back 88-year-old Elda De Marchi to sew a single authentic replica of the jersey made for Fausto Coppi after his 1953 World Championship win. The recreation uses the same materials, colors, dimensions, and original style, and is being actioned off with BlockStar blockchain tech as some mix of old & new, while the original jersey sits enshrined at the Museo Ghisallo. Should you bid on this odd piece of cycling history? Demarchi.com
