I’ve been gathering some parts from my bin, purchasing stuff and getting stuff from companies to test for this build. I opted for the Crank Brothers Sage SL headset for its subtle green accent and it is also lighter and less expensive than a Chris King. Cushioning my butt is this sweet Serfas Tegu saddle.…

Here it is my first Redline 29er experience. My riding of any 29er before this totaled less than 100 yards. A bike is a bike right, well not exactly. I have become a believer in the 29er setup read below. I grabbed the family and drove out to Hurkey Creek in the mountains…
Kermit is not only for kids, my friends. It’s also for mountain bikers too. Meet my Kermit Green Niner Jet9. Waiting to rock! I’m in New Bike Euphoria (NBE), so I can’t really give you any detailed comments on the Jet right now unless you want to hear me gush. Oh, you do? Well then……

… and will be offering a VPP 29er. No worries. We forgive yah. Now, some clarification is in order with regards to this line: It’ll weigh a whole lot less than some other bikes of similar configuration. Should I be holding out hope for a carbon VPP 29er? Santa Cruz already has a beautiful carbon…
The 2009 Turner Sultan The longest but least technical ride of the weekend sadly belonged to the Turner Sultan. The “least technical” part was not by choice. Scissors and I started out thinking it would be great to get in a longer ride on Saturday morning before the crowds showed up. After looking around we…
Specialized Epic 29, waiting to be ridden I got a chance to swing a leg over the new Specialized Epic 29er at Sea Otter. Nic of Specialized was great. He spent a good twenty minutes talking about the bike and getting it set up for me. What he did not mention, and what I felt…
Tim “Scissors” was able to get some ride time on the new S-Works Carbon 29er HT from Specialized. Here are his thoughts from the short loop we rode: So here I am on an all new Specialized S-Works Hard tail 29er made from the fiber of the gods, heading to the trail head with Gary…
