The Radavist

There’s something special about a Rivendell. Everyone ought to own one at some point in their cycling journey. For Michael, his came after being hit by a car in Santa Cruz, California. Read on for his story!

We’ve got some fresh threads for your feet and head in our Summer 2024 merch drop!

We’ve finally found our summer sock supplier with a small US manufacturer that has developed the comfiest socks yet. Seriously, these socks are the best-feeling summer-weight wool socks we’ve ever worn, and we’re not just saying that! We worked hard dialing in the fit and feel after lots of feedback from our customers.

This drop includes our 1960s pop art pool water-themed Hockney design in turquoise, two colorways of the 3-stripe Klunker sock (a summer staple!), and our Sidewinder socks, inspired by the Mojave Desert Sidewinder’s ability to bury its body in sand, leaving everything but its eyes exposed.

Adding to the fun are three fresh colors in our Camp Hat design. We went back to our pre-COVID supplier, restyled the hat with a little bit more room in the head, and are offering them in three colors: Sage, Mallow, and Slate. These new hats feature a plastic buckle, and The Radavist script on the back. Sewn in Los Angeles from made in the USA cotton.

The Radavist Summer 2024 Drop is in stock today at The Radavist Webshop.

Framesets are Starling Cycles’ frame-only collection. They’re the roots of what the UK makers create as a custom, handmade framebuilder and the best-selling side of its business. Sure, they offer custom builds, too, but the framesets keep the lights on at Starling, so to speak.

This caused a moment of pause with how they market these bikes. The frameset relaunch’s intent is to create a clear and concise purpose for each frameset, let’s check out where they landed…

ORNOT‘s popular cargo bibs have been upgraded with super luxurious fabric, an extra soft finish, and improved compression that hits the sweet spot. The bibs also received wider grippers that ensure these supportive bibs stay exactly where you want them.

All of the best features that earned these bibs numerous accolades have remained, including the dense endurance chamois, soft and stretchy straps, droptail back panel design allowing easy bathroom breaks without removing your jersey, and of course, the pockets (one on each leg).

While the fabric is new, it’s still Oeko-Tex certified and made from recycled content, ensuring safe and responsible production.

John here. You can buy the FlareMAX I reviewed from Cotic if you ride a C5. The price is more than reasonable for a made in the UK chassis with XT. Both Cy and myself feel it’s better that it stays in the States now, as shipping it back to the UK doesn’t make sense and is expensive.

If you’re interested, contact me at The Rad Bazaar listing and I’ll connect you to Cotic. I’ll include the Wolf Tooth B-Rad but am keeping the bottle cage! I cleaned it up real nice and it’s boxed and ready to roll.

I really really love this bike, and if money wasn’t so tight right now, I’d buy it.
