Budnitz Bicycles



This might not seem like the right time of year to be talking about bicycles (is there really a wrong time?) but these aren’t ordinary bikes. These are what I’d call “Christmas wish list” bikes. From our pal Paul at Budnitz Bicycles comes all titanium, made in the USA, belt drive, disc brakes fancy bike goodness. Basically all the features I’ve been looking for and the addition of an extremely lightweight (and yes, spendy) titanium frame. Now just to save up that 5k….

Snowy, windy, but any day you get to catch big brook trout like this is a great day.

It’s Fall. This time of year increases the camping drive for me for some reason. I love summer camping, but fall gets me really itching to get out there which means I’ve been trolling even more camping sites and talking about even more camping gear lately. Usually I’m more the minimalist so a trailer like this Kyte from Holtkamper seems like too much. But man, that kitchen? That bed? I might be able to talk the girl into a seriously extended stay in that type of luxury. Where are you guys at with the tow behind camping gear?

Old news for UK street wear fans, I’ve been curious lately about Maharishi. Anyone have any experience with their patented Snopants? And no, that’s not Sno as in “snow”. It’s a patented example of those convertible pants that change from pants to clamdiggers to shorts. I’m usually not a fan of the “all in one” thing, pretty much no matter what it is. Always seems that it just means it doesn’t do any one thing well. But, it’s not always the case, the Swiss Army Knife – which often gets used as the generic term for anything that does this – is pretty great as is the similar Leatherman tool. I’m also interested in designer Hardy Blechman’s story – just seems like an interesting, if not odd, guy – and success in multiple disciplines (clothes and a published book) is always impressive.

I can’t seem to stop looking at Manastash stuff. Available at Hickoree’s Hard Goods and Jungmaven (great place to find organic t’s btw) in the spring. That camp shirt at Jungmaven? I’m going to have to figure out how to get my hands on that. A lot of the jackets are reversible so you can decide how wild a color scheme you want to go with depending on the day. Looking forward to seeing more of this stuff. Especially in person….

Sunday night internet shopping leads to finds like Hlaska. Next time I’m in the bay area, I’ve got to remember to stop by this store. Some nice shirts here and all made in the USA which is always fun to see. The diving bell reminiscent belt is fun too, might be the kind of thing I tire of quickly, but nice to have a fun belt once in a while.

These images probably won’t be new to most of you, but it’s an interesting story so I couldn’t help but post. A new shoe company where everything – all the way down to the foam, soles, threads, is made in the US. That’s a pretty difficult task I’d imagine. It’ll be interesting to see how these end up looking, feeling, wearing, and going over once they release.
For more info as well as a somewhat depressing video, head to their site where they promise more info soon.
