Shop Visit: Topo Designs

This was my favorite bag in the new Topo spring / summer collection.

The classics never go out of style, they just get a facelift, or in this case, a splash of color. In the years that Denver’s Topo Designs has been in business, they’ve striven for American-made portage that has a modern façade with a classic silhouette. All of their bags are manufactured in a LEED-certified facility at the foothills of the Rockies and while their bags aren’t designed specifically for cycling, they are versatile, durable and innovative.

I had the opportunity to visit Topo’s design and shipping facilities while I was in Denver and was immediately pulling out my card to make some purchases. From a new (out soon) backpack that stuffs into a pocket, padded laptop carriers (out soon), to their classic Klettersack backpack, nesting bags and even their accessories like the Web Belt and Liberty co-branded water bottle, I put a dent in my checking account!

I’ve honestly never purchased them before because I never saw anything Topo made in person. In this case, seeing and feeling was believing. With high-quality, wear-reducing cordura on the bottoms of their bags, you’ll have them for years with no issues.

Pearl Velo Has Some of the Best Branding

Denver_mamiya-25

I know I’ve given Denver, specifically Pearl Velo, a lot of love here on the site this week and it’s not going to end. Not yet anyway. One of the best ways small bike shops can generate income during the slow winter months is through selling merchandise. The problem is, very few shops put time and energy into this, so they miss out on the opportunity.

Feedback Sports Sprint Work Stand

2013_NAHBS-4

NAHBS is always overwhelming for me but sometimes I just like to see really useful products mixed in with all the high-end, custom bikes. I’ve put my Feedback Pro Elite stand through the ringer over the years and I really love the simplicity of it but when I saw the Sprint Work Stand, I had to check it out. The front fork mount is compatible with all spacing for front or rear dropouts and the bottom bracket padding slides to accomodate all wheelbases.

See more details at Feedback Sports and a few more shots below.

Tracko’s Got All the Goods

I wonder where you’ll be able to scoop these up? I’m pretty sure I can fit a mini bottle of bourbon in that or at least a T4…

New Offerings from Brooks

I was just thinking the other day about how much I missed my Brooks Team Pro saddle. If you can’t tell, I really miss my touring bike. Or maybe I just miss touring and camping. This new video from Brooks just hit my email, featuring their new Land’s End & John O’Groats Travel Panniers and if panniers aren’t on your foreseeable agenda, check out the new saddle, bar tape and grips offerings below.

The Albion: Engraved Peacock Handwarmers

Albion_pocket_warmer

With blizzards and super storms plaguing the rest of the States, it’s very evident that we’re still in the middle of winter. Keeping your hands warm when you’re out in the elements isn’t something you can leave strictly to gloves and conventional warming packs lose their heat too quickly. Luckily, The Albion’s thinking of you and in just the nick of time with these branded Peacock Handwarmers:

“The Peacock Hand Warmer works by platinum catalysis, which causes neither air pollution nor occurrence of waste. The newly developed re-usable platinum-catalysed glass fibre burner offers quick and sure lighting and gives constant warmth for a full day with just one fill of fuel. The warmer is useable even in extreme cold -40c and produces five times as much heat as disposable warmers. Perfect for those days digging at the trails or out in the city in the freezing cold looking for something to chink. A photographer/videographers new best friend as you’ll be able to keep your hands warm when you’re out working in the cold. Inscribed with the magical Albion trifecta-logo you know you need one of these.”

Pick one up, in three sizes at The Albion.
