Cycling Brands I get behind

Check out Cutaway:https://www.cutawayusa.com

and https://cutawaybikecamp.com

I am getting a jersey and bibs there, but first got onto them after asking about a dynamite looking neck gaiter--for use as a facemask--that I saw today. They make mens and women's cycle clothing, and run a full roster of biking camps.

No affiliation, other than that they are about four minutes away from me (by bike).

Really? No one's mentioned Rivendell?

Grant may not be the most shrewd business person, but Riv was offering all-round / "gravel" bikes well before the term became a thing. They popularized S24O and the slow-biking ethos in a time when biking largely revolved around racing.

And through his blahg posts and side projects, Grant's shown to be a person always learning, always curious and willing to adapt to the times when it comes to social issues.

Yes. Highly influential. Rivendell is way more radical than everybody else. My only peeve w/them is coming out w/something i really want and it´s sold out in the size i need... always.

Her bikes are beautiful. Good call.

Another +1 for Cutaway.
Cloud jerseys and baselayers are very nice. Haven't tried the bibs yet.

Probably others..LOTS of good 'stuff' out there and often, like when you buy anything, you often 'buy' the shop/manufacturer/rep as well..GREAT customer service goes a long way with me....

Great brands and organizations throughout this thread.

I will add Arkel. Their bags/panniers are exceptionally well-made, and their customer service is better than anything I've experienced.

I once wrote them to tell them that I wanted to buy a replacement part because I intentionally broke the piece due to clear negligence. The clasp system clearly states something to the effect of, "do not remove this screw, it will break your clasp." I, of course, decided I would remove it, which unwinds the spring and renders the clasp non-functional because it no longer has a spring to hold the grip against the rack. They simply said, "Give us your address, please, we will send out a new one right away free of charge. No worries about who is at fault."

There are plenty of other stories like this from people on tours throughout the world.

Top notch product from people that stand behind their gear unconditionally.

I thought they'd mostly become a purveyor of axes, bandanas and books.

Is Clif a bike company?
Ok, not specifically a bike company, but they contibute a LOT to biking. Vitually every event I go to has Clif products donated to the cause whether it's a riding event, trail maintenance, whatever. Good company with a good story. Guys have their **** together.

Campagnolo Record or Super Record has been on every roadbike I have owned for decades.
Reliable, beautiful, rich in history, and good availability for worn parts. Absolutely love them!
