The German Schwalbe website announces the newest model in the “Evolution” line, the Marathon Dureme. This new high-end tire is added to the touring/city line with the Marathon Supreme and the Marathon Extreme.

Schwalbe does such a wonderful job of describing all the merits of this tire, and the Evolution line, that I can only refer you over to them for more information. It will be very good, large, expensive tire. Maybe the greatest bike tire ever. (hey, read what they have to say.)

Carradice will offer this retro wool jersey soon. The Carradice Cycle Jersey represents “a real breakthrough in fabric technology”, and is made from “Dry Wool” – produced by a company in neighbouring Burnley – which combines a 100% merino wool base layer with a stable polyester layer. The jersey has been produced in collaboration with another British company, Shutt Velo, based across the Pennines in Ilkley.

The traditional British bag maker will also be producing a new under-the-saddle seatpack in cotton duck with leather straps and a refinement of the Kendal panniers in the Barley style.

The jersey is being produced in a small run to gauge demand. Not sure of the price or other details. We will put these new items on order and offer them when they arrive.
