Public Bikes
Design Within Reach founder Rob Forbes is launching Public, a new bike company for urban commuters and casual riders alike. The company has taken classic European bike designs and gave them a modern day upgrade to better tackle the urban centers of America. The company is launching with two bikes ($600-$1,200), the Public M, a bike based on the Parisian Mixte frame and the Public D, a lightweight bike with the ever reliable double diamond frame design.

Casio Pathfinder PAW5000-1
Casio's Swiss Army knife of watches, The Pathfinder, gets an analog update in the form of their new PAW5000-1 ($450). The new digital/analog hybrid has a unique feature that has the second hand doing double duty as a compass. And as you'd expect from a Pathfinder, the watch has an endless list of features: six band atomic timekeeping, solar charging, altimeter, barometer, thermometer, and world time just to name a few.

TaylorMade Rossa Ghost Putters
That glimmering white paint job on TaylorMade's new Rossa Ghost Putters aren't just for looks, the white finish is there to create the best contrast against the green, which in turn improves your aim and gets you right to the hole. Its a simple fix for a simple goal, to make it easier to aim. Alongside the white paint scheme, the putters also feature three black lines and a circular hole on the rear of the putter head to further improve alignment, and ASGI+ tech for accurate forward roll.

To commemorate the win, Best Made Co is creating their first Twibill axe ($500 - Limited Edition of 20) with a handle wrapped in red and white. Link

Oakley Split Jacket
Oakley has taken last year's Jawbone (which you may have seen on a little known cyclist named Lance Armstrong) and shrunk it down into a smaller, sleeker profile. Like the Jawbone, the frames use the company's "Switchlock" technology for quick and easy lens swaps when the conditions change. Link: $200
