I don’t care what kind of bike you have, a nice saddle and bar tape will classy any bike up. Especially if it’s from the workshop of Mick Peel. It’s been a while since I last posted about Busyman Bicycles but this natural leather set is gorgeous.

Rapha Tire Levers?

The 2012 Flag Hatchet Holiday List

While it’s easy to make a holiday list, it ain’t so easy to point out domestically-manufactured products, especially when it comes to cycling. The following list is not necessarily a cycling gift guide as much as it is a list of some products that I use just about every day and have grown to love.

Personal endorsements aside, there’s something for everyone in there. Some are affordable and some are “investments”. As always, shop locally before clicking the buy it now button and only buy what you need! Or replace a few products with domestically-produced goods… And don’t worry, more holiday lists are coming that look outside the Made in the USA box.

But for now, check out my 2012 Flag Hatchet Holiday List below…
