I think I've fallen in love with this Company. Ive ordered a few products from them (2 stems, saddle, and comng soon a TransAm Frame). Great customer service. The guys over there are very helpful. And they have some sexy frames. Also hopefully coming soon a Bottle Rocket. I know there's been some post about bike company's but I just though I would post my opinion. But dont get me wrong, I still love Kona and my Coiler really impressed me at big bear on Saturday.
And the new Covert looks sick: http://www.pinkbike.com/news/transition-covert-revamp-2009.html They'll probably redo the Bottle Rocket with swoopy hydroformed tubes as well.
Transition does a great job. Hopefully they can give some of the big companies a run for their money.
+ 1 million. Great bunch of guys at TBC. I will ride more and more and more of their bikes...my Bottlerocket is perhaps the funnest bike I've ever ridden.
the Bottlerocket's not much of a climber - i'm 6'1" and i'd have to use a 400mm, maybe 410 post to get full leg extension. but it's so fun on the downhill that any climb is worth it. it feels like an overgrown bmx bike to me, but i'm used to my ss 29ers (which climb like goats). & i'm sure there are plenty of people who have one as their main bike who'd tell you it climbs just fine... if only TBC would get their Covert shipment in! lots of threads on mtbr. here's one: Bottlerocket as a trail bike
The 450 and Transam will find a home in my garage. I've been pleased with everything that I've purchased from them.
Transition bikes are in no way heavy. My blindside built up at 42 pounds with a heavy build of components. I can easliy, if money wasnt an option, get it to 38. Thats friggin excellent for a DH bike. The Transam I myself am looking to build will be sub 24 pounds.
i Have BR for sale with a brand new dhx5.0 thompson post and canecreek double xc flush, size large in raw if your interested. only one year old this week.
I love my covert. Weighing in at 31lbs tuff as nails. I talked to the guys there b4 i ordered and they convinced me to buy the covert over the BR because of the geo for AM riding. Cant go wrong with TBC. My next frame will be their new DH machine TR450 ! :beer:
32lbs? man thats good. they have so many bikes that can do it all it's hard to choose one. There new DH bike is so sick though. The TR450 is one sexy DH machine.
Hey Bro! Bars are working great thanks. I have some friends that ride transition bikes and love them! Cool small company, with clean lines:bang:
Did I sell you some bars? I forgot who I sold them to lol. Yea small company they are and hopefully they keep it going.
