We’re back with a fresh drop of merch this winter, re-issuing some classics and presenting some new designs. After multiple requests, we have our Roadrunner graphic on 22 oz bottles, stickers, and a long-sleeve t-shirt. The Radavist Vulture shirt is back on a long-sleeve, as well as our Ocotillo/Agave wool socks, Yo! wool socks, and a new Breccia wool sock design for the geology nuts out there. Speaking of rocks, our Malachite Dynaplug Pills came out incredible, and we’ve got three colors in The Radavist Camp Hat.

See it all at The Radavist Webshop. Shipping this week.

It’s been a year since The Radavist returned to being 100% independent again and a year of our Group Ride Membership and the Rad Bazaar. John’s got some updates to share below, so read on for more…

Ronnie Romance‘s shoes of choice, Stomplox, just announced an all-new model on Kickstarter called the Trail Worm. Unlike traditional sneakers, barefoot shoes have very thin soles that are so flexible they can be rolled up by hand and a zero-heel-drop design that lets you experience the trails as if you were barefoot.

If you have a Rogue Panda Blue Ridge handlebar harness that you’ve tried to run on a drop bar bike, then you know the shifter cable housing and brake lines can interfere with the clamps.

Crust Bikes‘ latest model, the EPO ($2100 frameset), is a US-Made road frame, built from Italian steel. Or perhaps its 38 mm max tire clearance makes it an All-Road bike, right? Who knows anymore? Anyway, the EPO is built by Darren Larkin in Connecticut in very small batches.

It’s made up of an assortment of the finest Columbus steel available. The Italian tubes provide a ride quality that will have you wanting to push this bike like you’ve been juiced up and are breaking away in the ’99 Tour de France. Each frame comes paired up with an ENVE AR Disc Fork to match the frame’s tire clearance and keep the front end light and nimble.

If you’re an AXS devotee, the EPO is available with or without shifter housing guides. Check out more at Crust Bikes.

Locals in Bellingham, WA know him as “the guy on the Chromag hardtail,” and as the humble hardtail holdout, Robbie Kane is one of those few who have not only embraced a minimalist mountain bike mindset but have made a soulful connection with, pun intended, the roots of mountain biking. Despite riding for 20 years, Robbie has never owned a full suspension bike, opting to be content with one basic bike to rule them all…

Italian brand Cascada has just stocked up on winter time apparel. The brand has some returning classics alongside new models such as merino-wool Base Layers tops and bottoms, long-sleeve jerseys, a new winter jacket, and cargo tights, both for men and women. Check out the whole lineup at Cascada.

The Roadini is Rivendell‘s all-around, all-weather road bike. It gives up nothing when compared to modern, high-tech, carbon bikes on smooth, ideal roads and is far better in every way when conditions are crappy. Potholes? Chipseal? Hardpack gravel? The Roadini is built for it. It has way more tire clearance, higher quality overall construction, is more comfortable, and rides like a Rivendell. This new version is fully lugged, including a stunning asymmetrical (front to rear) fork crown, and comes in either Lime Olive (pictured) or Hi Ho Silver. Built it with a demi porteur bar, a road drop, or whatever. The Lugged Roadini pre-sale ($1,750) begins at 12 noon PST today at Rivendell.
