An email… innocent enough, sent me on a chase. The email: 2008 XTR Brakes, and a link. Tim Scissors knew I was building up a frame and needed parts so when he saw the XTR brakes he immediately emailed it to me. When I got the email I went directly to the website. I read…

A KHS Lucky 7 that is! Our good friends from KHS Bicycles have given us a Lucky 7 to review and race. The Lucky Seven happens to be the KHS Factory Team weapon of choice for the Fontana Series, they choose this bike because of the infamous “wall”. The Lucky 7 comes with a 36/24t…

This month we are featuring two new products from WOOdman Components. They are the CARBO SL Plus Ti Seatpost and CARBO CAGE COMP. I’ve been testing these two products since late last year. I’ve ridden them through numerous miles of SoCal’s trails and the rigorous demands of XC and Super D races. I’ve swapped them out…

As you can see, this bike was raced last weekend at Fontana, its talented rider took 2nd place on his first ever downhill race. Now, that’s pretty impressive! We will be posting final specs and pricing soon, but let’s just…
Not many people know this but along with selling bike frames, which we have extensively tested (Reken) or are testing (Razzo), Sette also sells fully built up bikes. Many times fully built bikes are a good deal because of the manufacturer’s buying power. When a big manufacturer can buy 1,000 Mavic wheelsets, the vendor is…
