We've got a lot of big changes coming down the rails this season at the bike shop, and one of the most exciting ones is this: TTR Bikes is now an authorized dealer of Norco Performance Bikes. You might know Norco as a British Columbia-based purveyor of radness in the MTB/downhill/freeride world, but you might not know that they have a similarly impressive line of Urban Performance bikes: great rides for the Swamp Rabbit, the city, your commute, or your neighborhood streets.

These baskets from Peterboro Basket Company are one of my favorites from Interbike . . . I liked them so much I had to get them in the shop. They're hand-woven in New Hampshire, using Appalachian ash. They have a really satisfying crafty feel—the fasteners are copper and the whole line is available in a variety of finishes, some of which are seen here.
