The Radavist

The new Affinity Pro Team Kit is now available for pre-order, worn by Ash Duban, winner of the Red Hook Crit Milan No 5. women’s race and made by ENDO Customs in Los Angeles. Head over to Affinity Cycles for more information.

Aaron at Stinner Frameworks worked with Sean at Team Dream Team to design a “jailhouse” and “Barbasol” kit. With a black and white, or red, white and blue option, there’s something for everyone. If you’re up to your neck in kits, there are also matching caps.

Head over to Stinner Frameworks for more information.

Poler’s wacky and fun Rainbro kit by Castelli is now in stock. For those who like to rip on the wild side…

I’ve always loved FYXO’s kits and now that ENDO is making them, I’ll love them even more. Andy’s new Override and Burning Rubber kits are perfect for a bit of dirt or nice, smooth, sealed roads. Check out more at FYXO!

ORNOT’s made in California line is expanding just in time for fall riding and cross racing. In stock now are their new Blue Line jersey and limited edition Team Skinsuit. Both of which are looking very sharp.

… and of course, there is accompanying photography to go along with it. See what they’ve put on discount and the rad photos at Tenspeed Hero!

In the world of cyclocross team kits, you can go a few directions. First of which being the standard issue (and most common), three or four colored panels and a bunch of sponsor logos with a pixelated team graphic. Second, you can go just plain crazy. All-over animals, cupcakes, donuts, cats, pandas, whatever. The brighter the better, more is more, instead of less is more.

From the looks of the new TCB Cyclocross kit, they went the third route: classy, with just the right amount of logos and clearly inspired by Cali surf style of the 1980’s. Now, if they only all piled into a Datsun to get to the races. Ok, or a YOTA.

Tokyo Fixed’s kits are always so nicely balanced with patterns and colors. For autumn this year, they designed some new ones and re-issued some classics in new colors. Check them out at Tokyo Fixed. Hey Jess!

I want to call them crazy, but we already know that. Manual for Speed transcends crazy, like space pandas shooting lasers from their eyes… Kinda like these jerseys, for pre-order now, through November 2nd for a late December, early January delivery.

See more at Manual for Speed.

Remember the Manual for Speed “Reach for the Dream” #SurpriseMe kit order that went up a while back? Well, the kits showed up to MFSHQ in Portland and have been shipped out to everyone that ordered one. Look, I know it appears that MFS are on drugs, but I know for certain neither of the conspirators even drink, so that’s not a possibility…

Maybe someone’s spiking their sparkling waters? I have no idea, but whatever the reason, these Space Panda kits are out of this world.

See the entire lookbook at Manual for Speed and no, you can’t order this kit. You missed out on all the pandaemonium.

Racing in a skinsuit is the best, except for all the exhalation photos that get posted on your Facebook. You know, the photo where it looks like you’ve got a giant beer gut? So, if you’re going to race in a skinsuit, why not at least race in one that looks good? Black is very slimming, don’t ya know.

Not guaranteed to bring about “thigh gap” in men and women, but at least guaranteed to look good.

In stock now, along with many other things at Tenspeed Hero.

If you ride jah bike and you want jah matching kit, check out Superdomestik‘s “Rasta” edition kits, up for pre-order now.

Never one to leave the ladies out of their kit designs, Cadence just stocked their Pro Motion Women’s kit. Head over to Cadence for more! These really do look great.

Wow, just wow. Manual for Speed slays their new 2014 kit with, uh, gradients, duh!

“Manual for Speed and This Is Not Pete Morris met in the one & only place on Planet Earth suitable for showcasing our second-ever Team Kit offering: the Circus Circus in Las Vegas, Nevada. Why the Circus Circus? Well if its not obvious to you now, it will be by the time you’re halfway through this HAVS. Here’s a hint(s): Lights! Color! Action! And An Unfair Advantage! We needed a place that could deliver all that and more, and Circus Circus did just that…”

Pre-order one now at Manual for Speed!

I dunno what I like more, the new Mash shop kits, or Garrett’s Cinelli? Especially in this photo. They’re like the yin and yang of bicycle design.

Endo Customs finished up the pre-order for the Radavist Redback kits. They’re shipping them to me here in Austin and will be sent out immediately. Just in time for cross season! Thank you for your patience!

Please note: now is a perfect time to email me with any address changes. Do so by replying to your original Paypal order confirmation email so I don’t have to sort through everything.

I really, really, really appreciate all the support. It means a lot.

Having a back-story to your product is just as important as the design itself. Most of the time, anyway. Case in point is the Speedvagen National Kit. When I look at it, I see a brightly-colored ensemble that’s tastefully done, with a dab of wasabi to top it off (that vest!)

For the entire story behind the National Kit and check out the pre-order, head over to Speedvagen.

You too can wow fans as you rip around dirty, dusty corners on a cross bike and while you’re most likely not riding a Richard Sachs team bike, at least you’ll look the part. Check out the House Industries-designed Richard Sachs Cyclocross kit pre-order for more information.
