Whats your thought on the quality of the frame so far? While I rode a few Tranny's in PA, along with my buddies, we didn't really stop to look at the bikes; just shredded them.

Definitely looking forward to hopefully owning another Transition.

Hard to say as I've only got 40 minutes on it so far. I have to say, the internal cable routing is a total pain in the ass. The seller had taken the reverb out, and I haven't been able to get the damn hose back through yet. I don't think I will be putting it back in either as it's about an inch too long and doesn't go down far enough at maximum insertion. I've got my old LEV on there for now and will see what sort of prices I can find for a new post over the winter.

Also, when I got the bike, the main pivot bolt was creaking like mad. I was able to take it apart, grease it and silence it in about 10 minutes, so no big deal, but I think it's going to require a lot of attention. Compared to my Ibis, which required basically zero maintenance... Just a bearing swap every two years in the lower link.

Other than that, so far it seems very nice.

Stuck on a broken plane waiting for @Pesqueeb 's colleagues to fix it. Who needs AC and a pressurized plane anyway?m

Flying for work is no fun.

You have a problem.

Flying pre-911 wasn't all that bad. Used to clock close to 100,000 miles a year. You'd get screwed on occasion by weather, but everything else was easy peasy. If your American flight got canceled? They'd book you on the next United flight at the same price.

I hate flying. At least now I can get a belly full of bongshed before I fly. At least in one direction.

I swear to god. The next time I fly through Philly it may be faster to threaten to hijack an airplane, get arrested, serve time and get my free trip home faster than I could using my ticket.

The imbalance this will cause cannot be reversed, proceed with caution.
