Earlier this year, Hailey Moore reviewed her True Love Cycles Heart Breaker—a steel-tubed drop-bar mountain bike made in Warsaw, Poland.

Read on for her update on riding the Heart Breaker with Whisky’s No. 9 MTN Boost fork.

Whisky Parts Co’s newest carbon component is the Spano Bars, an all-road or gravel bar with multiple hand positions, a multi-stage flare, and flat tops.

I’d say those bars fit right in within the Whisky lineup. What other bar shapes would you want to see?
Both of these bars are in stock now, so head to your local shop for ordering.

We previously featured Chris’ Caletti but he shot some updated photos of it in very eerie light cast due to the fires in California. We’re running this updated gallery with words by Chris himself below…

It’s a solution for cyclists who have a hardtail designed around a 120-130MM fork. Was it a problem worth tackling? Isn’t it stiff? Why not just get a steel fork? I thought about a lot of this when Ben from Whisky Parts Co was handing off a pre-production sample for me to ride, test and beat on. How’d it fare on some east coast haunts?
Read on to find out.
