Padraig has a full report on his trip to Felt bikes. The Orange County, CA company has debuted two road bikes, both with some drool factor. One them has a unique chain set.

We also hear from MOOTS bikes and their continued commitment to titanium. The future of this alloy is discussed and the type of rider who should consider giving it a look and a ride.
