Month: January 2009

I work for a softball/baseball equipment company (don’t ask me for a discount). So we get tons of guys that come in and want to talk softball and how the latest bat is hot and how they hit it so far and yada yada yada. It’s basically talking shop, men love to do that and…

Many of you may have noticed that Eric “The Animal” Hunner has some might big GUNS! So wanting to have guns that can make Priscilla swoon at the sight of them, I asked Eric what he does for his workouts. Basically he said, he is his wife’s slave…He’s Tim the Tool Man Taylor when he’s…

One of the things that I’ve enjoyed most about racing is hanging with my fellow team mates and racers, here are some pictures of the ‘lighter side of racing’: David doing his impression of Captain Morgan, and a distracted cellphone texter that didn’t bother to see if I was taking a picture. Hungry after the…

Rediscover the simplicity of riding a rigid fork. Our beefy 4130 cro-mo fork features 31.8mm fork legs tapered for a superb ride quality, IS disc mount and removable V-brake studs that allow you to build it up however you want, extra clearance for 3.0 tires with room for mud, and single eyelets at the dropout…

Our good friends from PricePoint.com let us take some pictures of a pre-production Downhill bicycle. 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…

So the staff of MtnBikeRiders.com as well as the racing team has been thinking about nicknames for each of the riders/staffers. Here’s what we’ve come up with so far… RL-Walksie, I like to hike and bike at the same time. Moe-The Moe…isn’t it obvious… Jeremy-Guns(cuz’s he likes putting on a gun show) Joe- Mamma Jamma-cuz…

2 weeks ago Priscilla threw me a surprise party and some of my closest friends were there to help me celebrate my birthday. One of the many presents I got was this…its a “Joe Solancho Original.” I’ve mentioned this quite often, but Joe is a PRO-Photographer. So when he showed up with this…aw schucks, I…

Under the threat of rain, most of TeamMtnBikeRiders.com gathered under a couple of ez-ups and got ready to race. Saturday was my turn to be Señor Team Manager since RL was out on a retreat, that meant I had to be the photographer and race support. As usual, the XC racers gave it 110% percent…

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…

Yep it’s that time of year! January 25th and we are celebrating RL’s birthday!!! Ok. So someone misspelled his name but it’s close enough! LOL! Make sure to take a second and encourage RL today! 😀
