Litespeed’s Archon is the first bike in the company’s all new T1 Super Elite Category. A technology called Wrap is used in the junction of the head tube and top tubes. What does that do you ask? The multishaped tube creates a highly stiff focal point for control and responsiveness. Looks wise, it almost gets as much paint as a Ferrari. It undergoes a 14-step finishing, graphics and coating process for a lustrous sheen that is guaranteed to turn heads. [$4500 at litespeed]

One of golf’s greats, Seve Ballesteros is suffering from a brain tumor. This tragic news comes at the same time as the launch of a special watch, a Ballesteros namesake.  Made by Ballesteros and Jaermann & Stubi, the watch includes a case carved out of the golf clubs used by Seve to win the Chunichi Crowns Open in 1991.  The 50 assembled Seve Ballesteros limited series watches  will have an automatic movement, will have the number of the golf club used embossed at the back and the dial color is Seve’s favourite dark blue. It also has Jaermann & Stubi’s signature, a very handly mechanical golf counter.  I’m pretty sure it will attract a lot of golf lovers. Rich golf lovers, that is, because the estimated is 21,500 Swiss Francs. Some $19,000! [via Luxist]

Not a flake of snow has fallen in our MidWest hood yet, but our eyes are fastened on the coming season’s sportwear.  The ThirtyTwo Ultralight Snowboard Boots, shown above, are sweet enough that we’ll wear ‘em without a snowboard.  Seriously, we’ll put these on next time we go out on the town.  Just a pair of the ThirtyTwo Ultralights, a pair of tighty whities, a coke and a smile.  Once the snowboard season hits, regular boarders will love to feel the fit on these, they’ll make for a firm and comfortable ride come snowfall.[waverave via acquiremag]

Having been introduced to the pro ranks in 2000, the Cervelo Soloist has been ridden to victory at countless races throughout the world. Not to mention, it was also judged worthy enough by team CSC in 2003 after being used in the Grand Tours. There is a reason for the accolades thrown its way. With too many features to mention as reasons why this bike is lustworthy, just head on over to Cervelo’s website and see for yourself…  [from $2800.00 at competitivecyclist]

Uvex Sport Boss Helmet

Tuesday, October 7, 2008 7:00AM - By

Helmets are an essential part of any cyclists gear, albeit one that is begrudgingly accepted.  We’ll be honest, cycling helmets look dumb– there, we said it.  But if you don’t wear a helmet while cycling, you’re just asking to be Darwin’d.  Known for their goggles, glasses and their world famous skiing helmets, UVEX’s Sport Boss helmet has a couple of features makes this helmet stand out from the rest. The honeycomb lining in the front of the helmet to prevent bugs from getting in. The drop down on the back of the helmet to cover the base of your head and the best feature would be the monocromatic closure. This unique feature allows you to tighten your chin strap wth just a couple clicks of their patented monmatic mechanism. Most importantly, the Uvex Sport Boss actually looks pretty bad ass.  You can keep all the other features, I just dig it ’cause it looks good!  [$90.00 at uvexsports]

Pinarello Prince Carbon

The last Prince of cycling reigned in 2005 as the Prince SL. Since then, engineers have been toiling to build what you see here. A work of art on wheels. Partly based on the Montello time-trial model that incorporates the best features of the Paris FP, this beauty contains a bevy of cutting edge technologies to make you look like Lance Armstrong. With features such as a full carbon fiber frame, which makes it very durable and stable, plus Onda front forks to make this ride as comfortable as possible, this bike is truly an amazing piece of machinery.  [From $5500.00 at competitivecyclist]

Sayn Design Limited Edition Gold Putter

Want to impress people on the golf course, but don’t have a nice swing?  You can always pull the Sayn Design Gold Putter out of your golf bag.  This 24k gold-plated putter also packs 32 diamonds in its crown, each about half of a carat in weight.  While this putter won’t improve your golf score and it won’t bring home a trophy, it is a trophy in itself.  The marking on the handle says “I have more money than I know what to do with”.  Although we’re not so certain that’s something to take pride in… [$4400 at sayndesign via bornrich]
