An impressive project by Field Notes archiving a collection of memo books from the Field Notes co-founder Aaron Draplin. Right now the archive has over 300 memo books scanned and grided out for your viewing pleasure. I’ve picked up a couple from flea markets but never thought of really seeking them out, that may have to change. Definitely check out this video with Draplin going over his collection and talking about what draws him to them.

Fine bikes from Oregon-based Beloved Cycles in both ink and steel form; pictured above are the There and Back and No Haste frames. Beloved also offers some pretty handsome co-branded complete builds with Rapha, Mellow Johnny’s, and Jack Spade which is my personal favorite- you can never go wrong with a cream porteur.
This old Sologne creel bag really peaked my interest when I saw it over at Vintage Bicycle and got me to thinking about how I could get some fishing done by bike this summer, even if only catch and release. I’d be curious if any readers have experience fishing on their bike and what kind of gear might be more preferable over others. Tenkara perhaps? Check out more photos of the creel bag (and bike) here.
Another installment of my favorite tunes, twenty of them to be exact with a total running time falling just under an hour. Download the mix here and read on for a tracking listing. If you missed the other three be sure to give them a listen! Continue reading
A jersey so fine that even my favorite cycling curmudgeon Timothy from Landlords has given it a thumbs up. The 80’s throwback style jersey is only available by pre-order from Brooklyn’s Gage+Desoto until April 21st so get on it. For maximum rad aesthetic it is recommended that you also sport a Team Z cap as shown above (an all time favorite kit) and go the extra mile with an old pair of Sidi Genius 2’s!
Old pictures of guys on rocks, not much else to say besides that but it’s a good “+” to hit, follow here.
