Sette is an upstart brand now offering a full line of good looking road, mountain and 'cross bikes. The $4400 carbon Sette Elite is a full feature race bike spec'd with a Shimano DuraAce drivetrain, Mavic Cosmic Carbone wheels, and 3T hardware. Available in four sizes. Sette Bikes.
BH 'CROSSER
Yeah, we know it's already late into the 2010 cyclocross season, but that doesn't mean we should stop talking about new 'cross product. We think one of the best looking new 'cross bikes is the carbon BH RX1. Even if you take away the Reynold's wheels on this built-up frameset (the complete bikes run with Mavic Aksium hoops) the BH still comes across as a potent ride. Available in four sizes, the BH is spec'd with a SRAM Rival drivetrain, FSA hard parts and a Selle San Marco saddle. BH Bikes.
HANDBUILT THE PIONEER WAY
Don't let the fact that Eriksen bikes have only been around since 2006 seem like they are new to the game. Pioneer Ti artisan Kent Eriksen has been building Ti bikes for years and long after his separation with Moots, he continues to knock out some beautiful, hand-built titanium bikes, and curiously, still in the same town where he first opened Moots - Steamboat Springs, CO. Look for prices starting at $3050 and running up to $5250 for a TT/Tri bike with prices for 'cross, S&S, and touring bikes falling somewhere in-between. Kent Eriksen.
THE SPOT BRAND VERSION
And if we're gonna talk about titanium and/or cyclocross bikes, we might as well talk about the singlespeed variety. The titanium Mod SS 'cross bike from Spot Brand is about the clearest example of the breed. The $4560 (complete) bike runs with DT Swiss wheels, a Gates Carbon belt drive and Kobe Slider rear drops, Ritchey fork and a Truvativ stem and seatpost. Geared versions are also available.
LIDS BY GIRO & PAUL SMITH
Giro, the cycling world’s design leader, have teamed up with fashion designer Paul Smith to release three special editions of the Giro Section. An avid cycling fan, Paul Smith fell into fashion as a teenager after a cycling accident put an end to his hopes of becoming a professional racing cyclist. However, to this day Paul remains an strong supporter of the cycling world.
Drawing upon Paul’s interest in cycling, Giro invited Paul to design the ultimate, inspirational protective helmet. Paul chose the skate-inspired Section helmet which he then customized in three unique Paul Smith designs. The Paul Smith for Giro Section is available exclusively in Paul Smith shops and online at Paul Smith $95.00.
Look's New Chromoly Keo Blade

which gives it more secure and positive cleat entry/release. The $319 chromoly Keo Blade KEO features the largest pedaling surface on the market for
optimal power transmission and weighs a mere 115 grams. Don't forget the original 95 gram Keo Blade Ti is also available with a titanium axle for $419.

The L118 has been specifically created to meet the requirements of riding during the colder months. Campagnolo's L118 jersey is made from ALASKA, a hollow-core technical fabric that guarantees high levels of thermal protection together with maximum breathability, resulting in lower internal moisture levels for constant dryness and body temperature. Available in red, black and white and in sizes XS-XL. Campagnolo.
THE LTD EDITION
If you happen to be in the planning stages of building up a new bike, give a moment to think about using SRAM Red limited edition TdF drivetrain. Accented with the yellow accents to prove their uniqueness, the yellow Red parts can be found at your local SRAM dealer now.
