The Siva Cycle Atom

Topo designs roll top
By DanLast week when the sun was warming the local trails I headed off to enjoy them. I grabbed my Topo Designs Klettersack and packed it with gear. I’ve got a few backpacks but always go back to this one. Mostly because I love the look of it, there’s stacks of room and it’s tough. Their range has expanded recently to include this Roll Top which can fit even more … Read more

Adam Hansen’s mystery shoes
By SteveThese crazy custom shoes first grabbed my attention here. So I had a bit of a search and couldn’t find out too much. It probably doesn’t matter as the UCI will ban them in an instant. What I like to believe is that Adam made them himself! From reading articles on Adam, he seems like the kind of guy who would. Either way those shoes are freaky [in … Read more

Shinola Hand Built Bicycles
By SteveI love a good workshop video and this one has been shot really well. It was made by Other & Other, a boutique creative agency from Detroit, other than that I can’t tell you much more on the why (ok, I’m sure they were commissioned). Shinola sounds like a pretty decent company. They don’t just make bikes either and they don’t just make. They make in Detroit! I singularly … Read more

By DanWe go a bit crazy at Headset Press for cycling caps and i do love a dose of traditional Britishness in them. That’s why these caps from This is Cambridge appeal. Made by hand in Cambridge from materials like merino (Sunday Best cap) and needlecord (Commuter cap) they offer a relaxed fit and a comfy cotton lining.

By SteveMy last instalment of Cool stuff at the Taipei Cycle Show. Whilst these products are not new, they piqued my interest. First up is some products from WTB, most of us know WTB for mountain biking, but their offerings include some products that are ideal for road as well.

Cool stuff at the Taipei Cycle Show: Part 2
By SteveI checked in on our good friends Velocite at the show. The reason we work with them is simple, the products and one very big aspect of their products is the strength. Velocite build lightweight rocket speed tanks! The above picture is someone standing on their top of the range frame, the Magnus!! No joke. Watch this. Now, I can’t think of any other carbon road bike that … Read more
