In Stock Now: The Radavist “Case Study” Bottles and Socks

If you’ve been a fan of The Radavist for long enough, you might remember when John was a full-time architect at the beginning of the website’s early days. Years later, that architecture bug has still got him, particularly in mid-century design. That’s where the inspiration for our Case Study bottles and socks came from. We converted a hand-drawn text treatment of “Radavist” into a parti pattern that wraps around these Case Study Socks and Water Bottles with an abstract, geometric flow.

Case Study Sock Specs:

  • Sockguy Turbo Wool, which is thick, soft, and very comfy
  • Unisex fit: S/M fits W6-10 and M5-9; L/XL fits W10-14 and M10-13.
  • Designed by Cari Carmean
  • Made in the USA

Case Study Bottle Specs:

  • 100% BPA free
  • Printed with non-toxic ink
  • Sold as a single bottle: 1 order = 1 bottle

Both are in stock and shipping today from The Radavist Webshop.

Bike Hacks: You Can Turn Your Dropper Post’s Stanchion Silver!

Bike Hacks: You Can Turn Your Dropper Post’s Stanchion Silver!

I love to tinker with bike components, as seen with my vintage bike restorations. In my Yo Eddy! resto documentation, I stripped the faded Syncros post and polished it up to a mirror-like finish. It matched the Suntour XC Pro parts kit perfectly. So when it came around to me building up my Black Cat rigid 29er, I wanted to do something different. An homage of sorts to my love of vintage mountain bikes. When I saw this post on the Kona blog, I knew it was time to try it out.

While I’m not quite ready to talk about the bike itself, my latest bike hack is something I thought you’d all enjoy. Black MTB components are so prevalent these days, and while that aesthetic works for this era of plastic motorcycles, what about modern steel bikes with a vintage aesthetic? I don’t vibe with all-black components and am always trying to mix it up with my modern projects.

My Black Cat has a mix of black and silver anodized parts, but this latest hack raised the bar for me. Read on below for how to strip your dropper stanchion to a lovely, polished silver.

So Kitted: A Measured but Meticulous Approach to Every-Ride Essentials

We pay a lot of attention to our multi-day-ride packing lists. But what about just, like, a Sunday-ride packing list? Travis Engel has been building his kit over several years, adding and subtracting as necessity and technology shift. This is what we think is a pretty thorough setup, but let us know if we missed anything. What’s in your kit that you never leave home without?.
