Brief Sea Otter News

Well, being in daily phone contact with the guys over in Califonia at the Sea Otter Classic is as close as I can get to the action.
There sems to be an awful lot going on there with plenty of bike porn to whet the appetite.
The boys have been out and about meeting and greeting and talking to many interested parties about trips up to B.C. Theres a lot of networking to be done, and apparently that includes going out for beers with our industry partners and sponsors.. well.. I suppose thats a justifiable marketing expense ;)

Chipps from SingleTrack World is out there and offering up some words and images of what he is seeing. So, for more info check out the Single Track World site

Mark, Michael and Brian managed to get out on the Scott Ransom yesterday to get an advanced peek as to what our bikes will ride like once they get built up. Marks not really one for adjectives, but apparently "it descends amazingly!" - Fantastic!
So not really anything I could call a review from our broken mobile conversation, but rest assured, our reviews of our Scott Ransom's and High Octanes will be forth coming once we get them out on the trail.

Its only two and a half weeks till I get out to Whistler, once there, there will be more info and pics on both the ransom and High Octane - and the rest of our gear of course.

So, you can click here to see our Scott Ransom Review as the season progresses.
