Crust Bikes just launched the Desert Brat, an aluminum all-terrain tourer built from Spencer Harding's time riding their Scapebot. The 6061 frame clears 29x2.6 inch tires, adds a portage handle and kickstand mount, and keeps a tapered headtube so riders can swap the stock steel fork for carbon. It ships in one Black and Khaki Crackle colorway, sizes MD to XL, for $1,050.

Blue Lug restocked their bike shorts for a third round, now in ten colors with four new additions to the lineup. Feedback shaped three revisions: a new key loop, extra room through the waist and hip, and thicker belt tape that resists slipping. Priced at ¥7,920 (about $49), they land at the Hatagaya store to try on July 25-26, with online sales opening July 27.
