Customer Feedback

Everti customer Mike Heskin in the Italian Dolomites

Hello Kurt,

I have had my Everti Phoenix since May 17 and am approaching 800 km.

All I can continue to say is “Wow!”  This machine is nearly perfect for me.  It is tight and stiff, transferring all the power to the drive train.  Attacking, sprinting and climbing have more zip than previous bikes. Yet, it seems so comfortable.  It’s an odd feeling at first, because from such stiffness I expected to be jarred and shaken. But no, it is stiff AND comfortable.  A pleasure to ride… and ride fast!

Handling is precise too.  I can easily tighten-up on curves which other bikes required me to steer and lean into harder.  The Phoenix just cuts into corners.  It is stable downhill at near 80 km/hr.  I probably will not be going faster than that.  Hands free it tracks smoothly without jitters.

The look of the bike is fine fine fine.  Nice powdered sheen, smooth welds. I built it up with the Dura-Ace gruppo and Bontrager Race X Lite wheels and fork.  She is a subtle, elegant, educated lady, not a loud, crass floozy.  I call her Tica – Ti from Canada.  She is my mine! All mine.

Thank-you for your wonderful product - the Phoenix - and for all your input and courtesies during the order process.  Everti Everti! Everti vanquishes!!!!

I finally got the bike assembled and took advantage of a break in the rain to take a ride.  First impression:  this is a very nice bike, even better than I had hoped for. 

I really like this geometry with the 43 mm fork rake, responsive, but not twitchy.  The top tube and wheelbase combination allow for good positioning in and out of the saddle.  The bottom bracket on the Team is simply amazing. IT DOES NOT MOVE!   Standing on the pedals the bike just moves forward, no wind up at all.  With the curved seatstays, the ride is very nice.  No extra play, but a little vertical compliance over pavement cracks, and a nice muting of the  chatter from chip seal pavement surfaces.  I came back from a two hour ride with the impression that I had just started out in terms of wear and tear.  Even though this was advertised as a race bike, with the curved stays this is going to be a very nice bike for long distance rides. Fast, firm and smooth describes it.

I was very pleased with the quality of the frame as delivered, The machining work on bottom bracket and headset was great, assembly was easy.   It looks great too!  It's looks are not quite conventional, but it is subtly hi tech, and overall it looks well balanced with the flared down tube and curved stays.  

In short, this bike turned out even better than I hoped for when I specified these features.  I'm definitely looking forward to putting in some miles once the weather clears!

I purchased the 54cm Swift demo from you earlier this spring. I just wanted to let you know that all is well. I've got about 2000 miles on it now and am very pleased with it. I was afraid it might be too flexy for my weight, but have not noticed any flex. I did notice right away how smoothly it rode. I hit a little over 51mph descending one of the passes down here and the bike was quite stable. So, just wanted to say I'm very happy with the bike and the great service you gave me when I purchased it.

It's been a great pleasure to deal with you and your company. 

Thanks again,

Hey Kurt

The frame is beautiful. More beautiful in the flesh than I could have imagined - and I've always had a soft spot for Ti.

Everyone who's seen it thinks it's gorgeous. The welds are sweet. From Russia with love? Where did your guys learn their welding skills?  I love the downtube and the slight curve of the seat stays. The sexiest bit on the bike is the Easton fork going into the integrated headset in the headtube - a to-die-for combo. 

I'm in love.

17 pounds even. Low 16's shortly, might break 16 but I doubt it.

The low weight is most noticeable for me accelerating (obviously). What I mean is, since this is my first new road bike in a long, long time (and my first high-end road bike) the difference is really noticeable for me. More comfortable, too, though I can't feel any flex in the frame. (I have legs like twigs so I'm not exactly about to rip the cranks off.)

Built it up last Friday night, did 100K Saturday, 75K Monday, 25K Tuesday - very fun.

Thanks very much

When I finally decided to buy a titanium mountain bike frame I had three things in mind: quality, customer support and price. I consider the purchase of a titanium frame a lifetime investment, therefore I believe the demand for extraordinary craftsmanship and customer support is justified.

After comprehensive research and gathering information from different bike suppliers I started to become desperate. None of them could fulfill all my wishes and needs and at the same time suit my budget as well.

While searching the internet I discovered Everti Bicycles and made contact with Kurt Knock, manager of Everti Bicycles. Dealing with Kurt was a real pleasure. He helped me out in every possible way, not only in deciding which frame and size would suit me but also with the transport of the frame from Canada to Belgium. We discussed all options to finally conclude that the Everti TiRant would suit my purposes the best. I received the frame as planned (in less than two weeks!) and in perfect shape.

The frame is a piece of art, welds are impeccable and the finish is truly superb. Although I'm not a weight weenie I managed to keep the bike's total weight at about 10 kilograms, including some heavy gear such as the Magura HS33's.

The bike handles like a dream and I feel most confident while riding it, even on fast descents. It is so much more forgiving and comfortable than the aluminum bikes I was used to and it still amazes me how well the frame absorbs small bumps such as roots. I can stay in the saddle longer while I used to be "launched". This is the ultimate marathon machine!

Although I could easily buy a titanium frame in Belgium I decided to go for Everti. I don't regret the decision, it is nice to know there are still people who really care and have tremendous respect for their customers. Highly recommendable!

Dealing with Kurt Knock was a pleasure. He informed me always ahead of time with prices quality of materials.  His workmanship on my Everti was praised here by local  bike experts.  I like the finished product a lot, it is one of the finest I have seen. In addition all communication was done via internet and it was very easy to deal with this company and Kurt.

In my quest for a titanium frame build to my needs and size, I came in contact with Everti Titanium Bicycles. The designs of the frames appealed to me and fitted best to what I was looking for; a no-nonsense titanium XC frame build to my specifications and build to last. 

After discussing my specific needs with Kurt Knock, I came to the conclusion that Everti was the only one that could make me a frame that would fit me perfect and suited my budget. We discussed my riding style and our experiences with previous frames and materials. Based upon this, Kurt Knock designed me a frame that would not only fit me as in size, but also as in riding style. This good contact between Everti and myself as a customer, resulted in a stunning frame, that has showed me more than I could have ever expected from a frame. After riding my Everti for some time now, I can tell that all the effort Everti took in building my frame has resulted in one of the best handling bikes I have ever ridden and is precisely build to my needs.  

The bike does not only fit me perfect, it also rides stable at both high and low speeds, something that not all designs can. I can take corners faster than before with less braking, due to a perfect balance between the head tube angle, fork and overall wheelbase. On climbs the front end stay perfectly glued to the ground and on descents it remains perfect stable. I attribute this to the slightly longer top tube Everti uses in its frames. The frame has enough lateral stiffness to cope with high speed singletracks, yet remain comfortable enough for long harsh rides. This is what makes this Everti bike so unique! 

‘Custom’ means customization in every possible way. This appealed in small details like getting customized decals for my frame. Yet it won’t ride harder or better with these, it shows the care from Everti for its customers. Add to this the competitive prizes, and you can be sure you make a good deal with a high performance titanium bike, made with superb craftsmanship and attention to detail.
