I got an email from Tim Scissors bringing to my attention pricepoint.com’s two brand new carbon 26″ frames. I wanted to share them with you:
The Sette Impulse: a 26″ carbon mountain bike frame for $499.98 From pricepoint.com:
Impulse? Impulsive! Whip-crack fast, turn on a dime… and sprint? Sprint ALL the time!
Featuring a beautiful 1310g/2.9lbs 12K monocoque carbon frame with rear derailleur hanger and seat clamp, the Impulse is your entry into the hyper-driven world of XC racing. The choice of a 71 degree head tube angle keeps the Impulse super aggressive. Disk brake ready. V-brake ready (brake mounts included). Race ready.
The Sette Phantom carbon mountain bike 26″ frame for $599.98 From pricepoint.com:
Race the field. Race the clock. Race your personal best. So light weight, so fast, it will leave the competition chasing phantoms.
Featuring a state of the art 1100g/2.4 lbs 12K monocoque carbon frame, the Phantom captures that elusive sweet spot of pliant enough for epic racing comfort and yet incredibly strong and responsive. Guaranteed to rocket you down the trail with every pedal stroke, the frame features a replaceable rear derailleur dropout and the mounts for either IS disc brakes or v-brakes (mounting posts included).
Sette chose a 70.8 degree head tube angle so that the steering would be incredibly nimble without sacrificing stability and comfort when the trail starts to get challenging
Dominate the perfect line with the Sette Phantom Full Carbon Mountain Bike Frame.

Dang man, those are nice!
I want one!
They look like those carbon frames that are always on eBay under different brand names. If that’s the case, they’re quality frames and I’d definitely consider buying one. The v-brake posts are the best part… you just can’t find those anymore, and I love my v’s.
