I brake for Black and Whites
Black and White on my bike that is…I simply love the color combination. Recently we mentioned Pricepoint.com has some white lock on grips for about $10. Jeremy and I ordered a set for our bikes and I finally was able to install it on my Sette Reken…
Idyllwild Mountain Biking Day 1
We arrived at Idyllwild late last night. Ah there’s nothing like driving a compact car through curvy mountainous roads. Friday night was a full moon and it sure was pretty too see the mountains glowing. I had to pull over and get a shot. Dumb…
Sette Reken Frame: Review
Well its been a few months since I first received the Sette Reken from PricePoint.com. I’d like to thank Magally Gomez and Brian Cleveland for sending us this frame to test and review. So let’s get down to the nitty gritty. Sette Reken Frame…
Oh, I see how it is…
So on yesterday’s ride, Priscilla and I were on a section of the Fullerton Loop that is known as “extra credit.” This portion of the trail rides along side, but about 10-20 feet higher than the fire road. Anyhow, we’re cruising…
170mm Vs 175mm Cranks

Time to Move On…
I’ve owned my Giant Warp since 2004. I bought it brand new from a shop and since then the bike has taken quite a transformation. It started off as a humble XC bike that I even raced with, and now its this thing, 6 inches of travel in the front, and…
Red Rocket First Ride Impressions

Sweetskinz Digi Camo Winner
So the question was, which tires would look great on my Sette Reken Single Speed…if you didn’t get the hint that I was going for a black and white theme… But if you did, then you would have sent your answer as this…”SZ-1…
