tell me how much i need to save up for that transition then![]()
I seem to remember someone on here got a frame from Summit that was a full build and they just stripped it down for them. Might be worth sending them a message.I commented recently on this thread that I Was looking for a new frame that I don't really need. Having never riden a 27.5 wheeled bike before I thought I would try one when I was in Moab a week ago.
I hired a Transition Scout for a couple of days.
What a blast! I am 172 cms and have stuck with 29ers since 2016 and struggle a bit.
Maybe it's a placebo effect but I am hooked .
I was told no frames were available through the shops and I should contact Transition.
They have 1 alloy $2,199, and 3 carbon, $3699, frames in a medium. US $. Don't want carbon and can't stomach carbon prices.
Summit in Melbourne has a built up medium in stock at $6,499 but spec is average at best.
Banshee Spitfire frames are also available but haven't ridden one.
Anyone with any experience with a Scout or Transition generally ?
That was me, it was arranged by Supersports (@xero).I seem to remember someone on here got a frame from Summit that was a full build and they just stripped it down for them. Might be worth sending them a message.
Loved my alloy Sentinel. Transition generally make bikes with riders in mind and do things like external rear brake line, threaded bb and other sensible choices while also delivering great geometry.I commented recently on this thread that I Was looking for a new frame that I don't really need.

As mention a few times above, great bikes. I've had my Alloy Smuggler since the start of 2019 (and a 2011 TR450 since 2011). Can't fault them in any way. Would 100% recommend a Transition.I commented recently on this thread that I Was looking for a new frame that I don't really need.

Tracer is 160mm rear...my tranny (being an older one) is 125mm rear. It's not an xc bike but you could build it up a lot lighter than I have pretty easily.
I can't compare to the tracer for you, but as a comparison to some of my other bikes...
It is significantly more responsive than my current nomad, but that isn't a valid comparison. The nomad is a plough. The tranny is a lot more comfortable (less bounce) on trail than my nuke proof, with only a little more travel rear (25mm) and front (10mm) and almost as maneuverable on dirt jump type riding. I mostly ride smoother trails on it which it does well. I have had a couple of xc/am/trail rides on it and had no troubles grinding up climbs. When it gets into rocky/eroded chunder it does bounce around a bit and feels the chatter but that is why I have the nomad.
THe main thing that makes me hesitant to sell it is how laterally stiff the rear end is. It is very surprising. I often find the back end of my bikes gets a bit twisty from all of the maxed out gnar fuelled g-forces i power into them. Being a super rad epic dude is like that though and I thought I would just have to live with it...well the tranny changed that misconception.
Ahhhh, I had it my head the tranny was a 140mm. 125 is definitely a lot closer to what I was after from an "all day" type bike
I might have to hunt up some info on it again, I get the impression I was reading the wrong things. Back to the drawing board!
