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.

Holtkamper trailer tents

heyhansen — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 17:47:37 +0000

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?

Maharishi

heyhansen — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 13:27:30 +0000

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.
