So I'm a bit of a Transition Fan and been looking for a more FR/DH orientated rig.
This frame turned up and the build began.
It's now kinda complete and yet to be ridden in real anger.
Frame - Transition BlindSide V2
Rear shock - DHX 5
Front shock/fork - Fox Talas 180
Handlebars - Deity Dirty 30's
Stem - NS Quark Pro
Headset - NP
Grips - Something that was lying around, TLD something or other
Saddle - Radley Cheeky
Seatpost - DMR 26.8mm post and a shim Was: A bent POS that needs to be replaced, damn you Transition and this 30.0mm post size !!
Front brake - Zee
Rear brake - Zee
Cranks - Truvativ Holzfeller
Chainguide - Gravity Light
Pedals - Deity Decoy
Rear derailleur - SRAM X0
Rear shifter - SRAM X0
Cassette - SRAM something
Front hub - Sun Ringle Abbah SOS DH
Rear hub - DT 350
Front rim - NS Trailmaster II
Rear rim - NS Trailmaster II
Nipples - Fire Eye, green apple 14mm
Tyres - Nevgal 2.5"
Tubes - yep
Total weight - 17 kg (~37-38lbs)
So far its been built up with plenty of borrowed parts.
As you can see the build is in the works.
The wheels are borrowed and will be replaced.
I've got some NS Trailmaster 2's and a rear hub.
The forks have been plasti dipped as I wasn't sure I wanted to commit to changing them to black.
Now they are black I wished I'd just painted them
The plan with the whole build is to go green and black.
The latest addition is replacing the pivot bolts with green ones. The old ones were a bit chewed and Transition had them at a dollar a piece !
And for the cable Nazi's I still have not committed the brakes and shifter/RD to this bike...
