The Sette Razzo Compete bike arrives!

The moment we started offering the Sette Razzo 29er frame requests started pouring in for a complete bike.

Sette USA heeded the call and they came back with a complete Razzo outfitted with a killer parts spec. It reads like a who’s who of the best brands in the cycling industry.

SRAM and TruVativ handle the drive train. Up front a RockShox Reba SL 29er Dual Air takes care of business when the going gets rough. And when things get too rough, Avid Elixir CR hydraulic disc brakes will bring the Razzo down to a more manageable warp factor.

29ers have now been around long enough most everyone knows the reason why they have such a rabid following. It’s because of the ability of the big 29 inch wheels to rollover just about anything, covering ground faster than a bike with 26 inch wheels.

We could go on for days about the advantages but really, if you’re reading this, we’d just be preaching to the choir. So the important thing for you to know is that the Razzo is outfitted with Shimano Deore 29er specific hubs laced to disc specific Mavic M719 rims. Mounted to those Mavic rims are a set of Kenda Small Block Eight Kevlar beaded tires in a 2.1 width that are ready to make any line the Perfect Line.

Finally, the icing on this highly polished cake is a cockpit that features Sette’s own lightweight, high performance handlebar, stem and saddle.

The Razzo complete graces the scales at an average weight of 26lbs.

Festival Report: Big Wheeled Ballyblizzard

We want to tip our collective cap to the hearty souls who not only turned out at the Big Wheeled Ballyhoo but managed to have a ton of fun despite 10 – 14 inches of snow showing up to crash the party.

The one drawback to living and riding in Southern California is that all of us here at Price Point are such softies when it comes to the weather that none of us would have been able to hack it. Just to give you an idea how sad we, are our resident wannabe Belgian breaks out the knickers and toe covers anytime the mercury dips below 60. Last time we checked there weren’t a whole lot of Belgian hardmen wearing toe covers.

Still, the Big Wheeled Ballyhoo managed to go on. And for those who didn’t get scared off by the fluffy white stuff, what they got in return was some great riding, camaraderie and an “epic ride” story that will surely top just about anything out there.

You can check out some very cool first hand accounts here, here and here.

Race Report (17 + 54 = 2)

We had a fun race report waiting for us in our in-box the other day that’s too good not to share. Markley Anderson, one of the riders we sponsor on Team Crank, decided to see what the world of duathlon racing is all about.

With multi-day adventure races being the norm for Markley, he went ahead and signed up for the 9 Hour Endurance Class at the EX2 Day of Endurance which took place at Rock Gap State Park near Cumberland, Maryland.

The format for the race was simple. For the first three hours racers would run a 5.5 mile lakeside trail as many times as possible. Then, racers would ditch their running shoes for something of the clipless variety and spend the final six hours of the race doing hot laps on a rocky strewn nine mile single track.

On the run Markley scampered 17 miles before hopping on his bike to bang out what would end up being a 54 mile ride. The ride portion turned into one big hammer fest as Markley and the eventual winner battled back and forth the whole way. The final selection wasn’t decided until the last lap.

The real kicker to all this, aside from Markley finishing an astonishing 2nd place in his first duathlon, is that he spent the two weeks prior to the race laid up sick. Basically, Markley rolled out of bed on race day and flat out drilled it for nine hours straight.

Amazing.
