Girona, north of Barcelona, the heart of Catalunya.

Girona, north of Barcelona, the heart of Catalunya. A history going back over 2000 years to when the Romans ruled. The next thousand years saw it change hands from the Romans to the Visigoths to the Moors. Girona eventually found itself under Spanish rule. Nowadays it’s the professional cyclists who call it home. This is where CHPT3 was created and where its design studio is based. Girona’s where we ride every day and where we test each and every one of our products alongside the best racing cyclists in the world. Discover the new CHPT3 Girona Collection, click here.

It’s easy to see why Millar is in demand. Intelligent, loquacious, and a survivor of 18 years at the top tier of professional cycling, with all the good and bad that might bring.
