History.
3T was founded by Mario Dedioniggi in Torino in 1961. It is located in Bergamo, near Milano, and originally known as 3TTT—Tecnologia del Tubo Torino (Turin Tube Technology).
In 1970, 3T switched production to aluminum alloy in place of steel, to cut down on weight. By the late 1990s, 3T started using carbon-fiber composites.
For the 2008 season, 3T sponsored Team CSC. The team's World Champion time trialist, Fabian Cancellara, rode it during the Tour of California. During the European season at the Giro d'Italia, CSC's team failed to win the race's opening Team Time Trial.
For the 2009 season, 3T sponsored three professional teams: Cervélo TestTeam, Garmin Slipstream, and Milram.
