1st & 2nd place at the JumpShip!
This past weekend, PricePoint Team Rider Mike Montgomery wins the JumpShip Best Trick with a sick 720 and places 2nd for the JumpShip Contest! The photographer missed the 720 due to Mike's spontaneity, but there is a video of him nailing it listed here.

PricePoint checks out Shimano at Idllywild, CA
Our purchasing department was lucky enough to ride the new Shimano M780 XT gruppo along with the new XTR Shadow Plus rear derailleur last week in Idllywild, CA. On Thursday they rode the 24 hour course at Hurkey Creek and on Friday sampled the great singletrack at Alvin Meadows which is a 15 minute pedal from town. They both came away super impressed with the new XT brakes, how precise and smooth the shifting was, and how well new trail and race pedals put the power down. PricePoint will be stocking all the new XT M780 products and XTR Shadow Plus derailleur as soon as they are available.

Markley Anderson - Serum ISM
PricePoint professional rider, Markley Anderson, talks a bit about his newly shipped Sette Serum ISM. Markley is also sponsored by Sette; the original write up can be found in Sette's Blog.
I received one sweet bike (Sette Serum ISM) a few weeks ago and let me tell you it is a jewel for those racer types. I will do a review later in the summer that is more complete. However, for the moment I can tell you I’m stoked about this bike.
Basically, it is the same frame as the Serum Elite. The main difference is the integrated seat mast on the Serum ISM. This requires cutting the seat mast down to your required length on the pedal stroke. I took caution and used the provided cut guide that came with the bike and made two cuts. If you cut too much off, well that is it and you will be stuck with a seat mast that is too short. I took measurements off my Serum Elite and erred on the side of caution by cutting the first cut slightly less than I needed. I got on the bike in my kit and shoes to get a more accurate measurement in order to make the final dialed in cut. Made the second cut and you got it, fit like a glove. I recommend if you get the Serum ISM to take it to your local bike shop for making the correct measurement and cut for you.
This bike is light and you don’t have to fool with seat collars and seat posts. It is loaded with the 2011 XTR package, 30 speed. The only additions I have made to the stock version: Crank Brothers Ti Egg Beater Pedals, Bye Kyle Simple Strap and I will be adding ESI grips soon. If you’re serious about racing XC or Marathon type races, this is the bike without a doubt.
Stay tuned for a detailed review later in the summer. At the moment, I have 12 days until the start of the Tour Divide. That is my priority and focus, but I had to get these pics out of this sweet rig. Price Point has the Elite and Serum ISM ready to roll for your single track cravings.

PricePoint Donates to a Good Cause
This is a Thank You email we received from Jeff Barrett - a school teacher at the Glen Lake Schools in Northern Michigan - after we gladly donated a few Sette bicycles to the Bicycle Works at Glen Lake.
Hello-
My name is Jeff Barrett and I teach at Glen Lake Schools in northern Michigan. Pricepoint generously donated 6 bicycle frames to a program that I teach at school. I just wanted to drop you a line and tell you how much we appreciated the donation. I have attached some photos of the students building up their bikes and riding them. I have also attached a link to a newspaper article about the program and it mentions Pricepoint.
Thanks and happy riding.

Here are a few pictures Jeff included in his email. Check out the kids enjoying the sport and even building up a Reken from the ground up!
