Retro VC Jerseys on Display at Mangia

Thanks to longtime VC member Dave Henderson and sponsor Jeff Sayers of Mangia Pizza, an almost complete set of VC jerseys is now hanging in the front room of Mangia’s Mesa location. Not only did Dave hold on to jerseys dating back into the '80s, but somehow he managed to keep them in pristine shape, or at least pristine enough for Tom Paterson to bring them back to life. And it’s a testament to Dave’s bike handling skills that the jerseys bear no signs of crashes. So head over to Mangia, patronize our great sponsor, and take a trip down VC memory lane. For the curious, click on the Clothing link to see a full history of the VC jersey.
