A Hip Pack can help get weight off your bike and on your person. Italy’s Cascada just released its Jaunt Roll-Top Hip Pack ($97). Made in Italy of durable and waterproof X-Pac VX21 fabric, an adjustable waist belt and 2,5-liter volume capacity, you’ll have enough room for a jacket, snacks, phone, wallet, and other riding essentials.

It features a roll-top main compartment for expanded carrying capacity and an easy-access front zippered pocket for stashing small items, the Jaunt Roll-Top Hip Pack will be ready for whatever adventure lies ahead. Two breathable mesh side pockets provide additional storage for small items, while bungee cords with stoppers at the front make it easy to stow trekking poles.

Likewise, additional bungee cords at the bottom provide an effective option for quickly storing a jacket or sweaty clothing.

The Colnago Master might be the most iconic road bike to come out of Italy with its straight blade fork, chromed lugs and serroni red paint. Add in some gumwall tires, non-aero brake levers, and yes, white bar tape, and its hard to beat the look (and performance) of this classic machine that many racers pedaled to the podium.

As such, it brings literal tears of joy to our eyes to see Colnago still offer this dream machine in the same quiver as the new C68 road bike. No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you; it also has rim brakes and the same DNA that brought about the iconic Master. Let’s check it out.

It’s a crisp-shifting, wide range gravel group that shifts like the almighty Campy 8-speed drivetrains.

One of the reasons we love metal bikes is how they can get damaged in a wreck or even get hit by a car and be repaired. That’s what happened to Andrea from Cicli Barco. After a car hit him on a ride, resulting in a folded in the front end of his Piovan gravel bike, he decided to take a KINTSUGI approach to the repair. The final product is stunning, and we thought y’all would enjoy this one!
