Biciclista Cap

Just heard about these guys from Urban Velo. I really like this Brooklyn Cycling inspired cap of theirs. Check them out here.

New Rapha Product Mega Post

New Rapha gear, including new stowaway jackets, cycling caps, "legend" t-shirts and a whole raft of jerseys, are coming soon...






Check the Rapha page for updates. Originally seen over at BikeRadar.

New Cadence Longsleeve

Short run for winter. Get it here.

Laek House

Yes, yes, yes. I am behind the times, and behind about a million other bike blogs in posting the awesome new stuff from Laek House, but I've been travelling. Give me a break!




Actually, in my defence, I did post about some of this stuff a while ago, but now Ethan has updated the page so that you can actually get your grubby little mitts on them. So go here to check out the stuff.

LA Fixed Shirt

From smeeze, the same people who brought you the Chicago Fixed shirt, comes the LA Fixed shirt. I like the continuation of the sports theme. Limited edition. Pick 'em up here.

SAG MASH Backpack

I have to admit, I'm not exactly delighted about the return of the backpack (El-P called from 1996, he wants his style back). But, this collaboration (shudder) between SAG and the MASH crew looks pretty nice, I suppose.


More details here.

A Scarf Too Far?

I love Rapha, but I'm not feeling it. It's an $85 bandana, for feck's sake.

Fausto Coppi Shirt from Laek House

More new stuff from Laek House. Check out the blog here. Sorry you couldn't make it for the NACCCs, Ethan, hope your shoulder is getting better!

New Laek House Stuff

Want it! Coming soon. Keep an eye on the Laek House site for this and other new stuff.

PDM Jersey Reissue

Some famous (Seán Kelly) and infamous (Pedro Delgado) riders wore this jersey from the mid '80s to the early 90's. Coming soon to Prendas Ciclismo, go here to pre-order.

Poseur Cycling Cap

I love it, but I think it's a bit too self-depreciating, even for me. I still kind of want one, especially because poseur is spelled correctly. But, have I ever seen a cycling cap that I didn't want? I'm starting to think I should change the name of this blog to Cap Snob CHI... Haha? Anyway, check out more interesting cycling clothing, including a matching poseur jersey, from ElevenGear here. Oh, and thanks to Josh for the heads-up!

Andy Hampsten Jersey from Rapha

Remember when Andy Hampsten devastated a field of near-frozen Giro riders over the snow covered Gavia Pass?? Me neither. I was 13 and busy listening to Seventh Son of a Seventh Son for the 50 millionth time. Nevertheless, to commemorate Hampsten's incredible ride, Rapha have released this beautiful jersey. It even has a pinned on race number. I don't know why it's there, but it looks feckin' deadly!
