Thanks, giving our best :)

We just came back from Eurobike, it was the first time and really a very nice experience. Thanks to all those who stopped by, it was really great to see some faces with who we work already for years, much appreciated, hope we'll meet there again next year.

We were a part of the Slovenian project, it was the very first time our country/goverment decided to contact bicycle related companies. Some of us decided to be a part of it, we were between Noordung (a bike company for which we also produced frames in the past) and Sinter (brake pads manufacturer from Slovenia. For all those who didn't managed to stop there here are a few photos.

We presented the new Sito shoes which will be officially available for pre-order next month, more details to come soon. You can see the shoes next to me, but we'll keep it like that for now and more details and better photos to follow :mrgreen:

Unfortunately I had a failure on my Lupina last night :-(
It's from 2015 so out of warranty.
Has this happened to others?

Appears to be an old round rail. To answer your question I had two round railed saddler break. Now on the ovals and no issues so far.

Hi,
sorry for the trouble, we don't produce round rails already since 2018 and they were only for max 85kg riders.
Please drop us an email info(a)berk-composites.com and we'll try to help you there. Just let us know if it was ever crashed (send some photos of the complete saddle) was it clamped 8 years to the same position? Anyway, please drop us an email and it will be answered as soon as possible, thanks!

I've been advised that a new Berk saddle is on the way to me. Thank you so very much to all at Berk Composites.
Top quality support. I could not ask for better. :thumbup:

I have a saddle I damaged in a crash, which has separated the chassis from the rails, (my fault obviously) does anyone know if Berk does a discounted crash replacement policy?

Yeah, which doesn't answer the question, (I just wondered if there is a standard policy (i.e. 40% off RRP), but looks like a case by case basis)
