Winter fog falls like a curtain. Go, Brooklyn.

As I write this I am staring out my window, at an impenetrable fog and another day where I’ll wait till the afternoon to ride. While that’s happening, this Fara video (thanks Jon over at Twotone) has me dreaming about crunchy quiet roads, when bikes come back clean enough to ride everyday, and the prospect of riding without gloves in the not so distant future.

I’ve never been on a Fara, but if you have or are building one of their bikes, I’d love to hear about it. They look relatively clean and interesting, and well, Thor Hushovd apparently backs them, so I’m curious. Frames are designed by Factor, and then prettied up by the folks in Denmark. Definitely an interesting combination of experience and seemingly high levels of Sandinavian quality.

Elsewhere, if you’re still scrambling for holiday gifts, Chrome is making replica Brooklyn caps. Designed in 1973 for the Brooklyn Cycling Team, the Cap gained iconic status from Spike Lee’s commercial work with Michael Jordan on campaigns for Air Jordans.

All for now. Finally got my hands on some Super Secret Lube from Silca (year of the lube, amongst other things, with big releases from Silca and AbsoluteBlack) and am enjoying riding in this Spatz baselayer, and new Rapha Pro Team winter jacket. Both are pretty awesome and will be featured shortly on HNH.

Happy December 18th, everyone.
