Rivendell Fujiya Adjustable Wrench $30
At just 5.5 inches and 5.7 ounces, the Fujiya Adjustable Wrench is a favorite of the Rivendell gang to bring on rides and tours alike. These wrenches will serve you for headset adjustments, pedal removal, rack hardware tightening, and maybe a roach clip if you’re creative. When Rivendell puts through the wringer, you know it’s a worthwhile purchase. Roll on over to Rivendell to see more!
Sage Storm King GP
Inspired by meteorites, a Finnish lake, and equipped to tackle gravel races, tours, and more, the Sage Storm King GP has quite the paint job, inspired by an elaborate story we won’t even attempt to paraphrase. It’s better if you see the photos and read all about it at Sage.
LaRon and Team Dream Wool Bibs and Shorts $225/235
Ronnie and those chubby bobcats at Team Dream teamed up again on a second run of these luxurious wool boxers and riding shorts. These unpadded shorts feature a calf skin chamois for the ultimate in comfort and crotch health. LaRon and TDT worked with a more durable, softer wool that can be washed more frequently than the previous version of these shorts. LaRon is shipping these out in two weeks so if you’re curious, now’s the time to pick up a set. Yes, they’re pricey, but they’re made in Italy like Gucci loafers and Lambos. What do you expect? Head on over to Rons Bikes to see more.
