Brooks England Unveils the Limited Pelago Stavanger

When Brooks England made its official debut way back in 1866, it’s likely the founders had no idea its business would continue to make headlines as far out as 2016.

Sure, a company built on manufacturing high-quality bicycle saddles could remain relevant for decades but to continuously outdo itself year in and year out had to always seem a bit far-fetched. Well, if you could believe it, the esteemed manufacturer just lifted the curtain on yet another jaw-dropping release, this time one which pays tribute to the history of cycling — and Brooks Englands’ 150th anniversary.

Dubbed the Pelago Stavanger, Brooks’ uber-limited run of this high-end model is as timeless as the company itself, providing owners with the quality the company’s been known for. Featuring a copper-plated fork, hand-numbered copper badge, and fully hand-built in and assembled in Helsinki, Finland, just 15 in total were manufactured. Conceived in cooperation with its Dashing Bikes project collaboration, the Pelago is just one in a long line of releases celebrating the company’s anniversary.

The Stavanger pays homage to the history of [biking] with its timeless design aesthetic, contemporary specs, and second-to-none quality,” read a companion press release. “Whether you are commuting, gravel grinding, or off in the back-country for a long ride, the double-butted 4130 CrMo steel frame multi-purpose geometry and details make it an excellent all-rounder. The Shimano 105 components and TRP Spyre mechanical disc brakes make Stavanger reliable and easy to maintain.”

With each model hand stamped to commemorate its number in the collection (again, of which only 15 exist), owners won’t have to look far to be reminded of its exclusivity.  Furthermore, since a hand-built, limited-run of anything is hardly ever inexpensive, Brooks England’s Pelago Stavanger is no exception. Though its price tag is situated at a lofty $2,495, the incredibly high quality of the Pelago makes it worth every single penny to prospective buyers.

Apple Maps update press release photo

Google Maps has long been a dominant player in navigation, known for its comprehensive data and ease of use. However, with the release of iOS 17, Apple has introduced a game-changing feature that's set to make Apple Maps the go-to choice for outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers. Apple is finally introducing offline maps, and it's a feature that will revolutionize the way hikers, campers, skiers, and snowboarders navigate the great outdoors.
iOS 17 unveils offline maps for Apple Maps
Apple Maps has come a long way since its initial launch, and it's continually striving to offer users a more robust and feature-rich experience. With the launch of iOS 17 on September 18, 2023, Apple is introducing offline maps, a feature that will be a game-changer for those who love outdoor activities.

Offline maps allow users to select specific areas to download to their phones. Once downloaded, these maps can be accessed and used without an internet connection. This makes it possible to enjoy turn-by-turn navigation and conduct searches even in remote areas where internet connectivity may be unreliable or nonexistent. It works similarly to Google Maps in the sense that you do need a WiFi connection to download the maps, but after that, you're good to go off the grid.
The perfect companion for outdoor adventures
For outdoor enthusiasts, this feature is a dream come true. Whether you're hiking in the wilderness, camping in a remote location, skiing down the slopes, or snowboarding in the mountains, having access to offline maps can be a lifesaver. Here's how this feature can benefit different adventure seekers:

If you were to look up the word "superstar" in the dictionary, it wouldn't be surprising if Brad Pitt's visage was strewn across the page. When you hear his name, it’s hard not to think of his chiseled abs, effortless charm, and distinctively beautiful face. Many may even immediately think of all the media surrounding his romantic entanglements with Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston, but we’re definitely not here to talk about that.

Today, we are here to talk about the many strides Brad Pitt has made in his film career; from war movies to heist comedies, he's taken his physical beauty and made the most of it.

Clearly, there is much more to him than just what meets the eye, which is part of what makes him such a compelling screen presence.
