It’s true! We spoke to the nice folks at FSA and confirmed that they are planning on introducing a new angled headset to compete against the famous Cane Creek Angleset. Unfortunately FSA didn’t have their prototype at Sea Otter, so we settled for a pic of these products that they were offering.
We paid a visit to our friend Brian Cleveland who was working the Sette Bike Booth at Sea Otter. Brian took the time out to show off the new bikes, check em’ out! The Sette Derro is a 4″ XC mountain bike mated with Fox suspension, Kenda Nevegal tires, XT and SLX drive train.
