Camp and Go Slow x What Happened Bags

Casey from Camp and Go Slow worked with Slovenia-based bag makers What Happened to utilize the leftover bar tape scraps from CaGS’ Rattler tapes. Included in this very limited release are stem caddy bags, a handlebar bag, and a riding pouch. These bags are made from deadstock fabrics and are for sale today, May 16th, at 6 AM PST at the Camp and Go Slow Webshop.

Paragon Machine Works Slider Inserts for SRAM T-Type Drivetrains

The framebuilding saviors at Paragon have been busy incorporating SRAM’s proprietary UDH design into a sliding dropout insert. Which are now available for sale under the label: Conventional Sliding Dropout Inserts for SRAM T-Type in both black anodized and bare/polished. You can call Paragon directly to order.

For the best fit, purchase the right-side insert #B/DR4145, left-side insert #B/DR4146, and double nut #MS1020 and use only on Paragon Machine Works Conventional Sliding Dropouts.

When you order, ask Paragon for the appropriate hardware and you can convert your PMW slider-equipped frame to a T-Type Transmission compatible bike with a PMW UDH…

1733 Basket Bag $250

If you commute by bike and have a basket, 1733’s Basket Bag will have the biggest effect on your ride. Moving gear from a bag you wear to your front basket makes for a less sweaty and more comfortable ride. The Basket Bag is designed to fit a Wald 137 with two clip and strap assemblies that attach to the basket and remain there when the bag is removed. The connection hardware will fit other baskets, and if stolen while your bike is locked up, 1733 will replace them once at no cost.

Fits a 14″ laptop, multiple pockets and made in the 1733 studio in Chicago, USA.

Check out more details and photos at 1733.

Vitus Venon EVO Comes in an All-Road and Gravel Road Kit

A chameleon at home on gravel or tarmac, the Venon is an all-road platform made in two flavors: the EVO-RS (all-road) and EVO-GR (gravel road). Each of the build kits are specced to their specific uses. The EVO-RS comes with a road double drivetrain and 40mm tires, while the EVO-GR comes specced with 1x drivetrains and bigger tires.

The frame is the same, but Vitus gives you the choice to pick your preferred terrain — are you more the type hungry for washboard and dust, or do you prefer big days pounding pavement? Or, with a second set of wheels you can have the best of both worlds. The choice is yours.

Check out more details at Vitus.
