I’ve got to tell you, we’re getting some great weather here in Southern California. A group of us took advantage of the weather and went out riding this morning. We chose the always fun Fullerton Loop. I rode my X-Cal while a good friend of mine got to try out the new KHS Tucson. He…

Originally Moe had the Thudbuster LT to test but he is currently in the process of selling his hardtail so I’ve been getting in some seat-time on it, literally.

Optic Nerve, nerveusa.com, sent us some eyewear. I’m going to be testing out Optic Nerve’s Savant Fade Carbon. You can find it on their website under the “Collection 2007” and then from the menu on the left select “Interchangeable”. Savant is on the first row, middle. First impression is that they look sweet! Great stiff…
