Has anyone had any experience with the Sette Riddick?

They have them at Pricepoint in my $ range, but I haven't been able to find a review at MTBR...

Also, the largest size they come in apparently is 19" which calculates to a 22.5" effective top tube. I've been told I could use up to a 24" ETT. (6' w/34" inseam). Current ride is a 99 GF Josh F4, Medium. And it's a bit squirrely, so I though I'd go bigger....

All comments, suggestions welcome, and Thanks, in advance.

There have been several discussions on the MTBR forums about the Riddick. Some of them compare the Riddick, the Leader 626S and the Jamis Dakar Sport. Price-wise the Leader is 539 with shock, the Riddick 449 and the Jamis is 425. The shock on the Riddick was supposed to be the best of the 3 models, but the Riddick was also the heaviest model being 7.6 lbs for the 19 in model. Hope this helps, I'm planning to buy a Riddick next month.

Thanks XT,

Have you been able to get any sizing info on the Riddik?
I emailed them to ask for recommendations re toptube length and stems etc,
but havent heard back as yet...

but the Riddick was also the heaviest model being 7.6 lbs for the 19 in model. Hope this helps, I'm planning to buy a Riddick next month.
