Sweet vid. what's the deal?
- Thread starter wicked out
- Start date
It means they have a new bike and a couple of riders to race on it
Nice. Good for Bryn & Jill. I hope Transition is treating em right -- they are both incredible brand ambassadors.
I'm surprised they are rolling Fox suspension...

I reckon the fact that one of the riders is wearing pinstripe knee pads is the big giveaway. Cant be many other people in North America wearing those.
Wow astute observation, all from a 30 second clip... I guess next time its snowing and they are riding he should wear a skinsuit instead of a few layers of insulation just so people dont leap to scientific conclusions.
Does this mean Jill is gonna give DH a go? Thatd be sick!
Ah FFS calm down. I'm just saying I wouldn't have picked it to be him, cos usually he DOES look super fit. How am I gonna know how cold it is in a video? He was wearing shorts and a short-sleeve jersey for starters. Seriously, make one comment on this site and you have half a dozen people jumping down your throat.
sorry he "jumped down your throat" hope you didnt choke
but on the other hand, your jumping down bryns by saying he isnt "fit" in the video. to me looks like he is rippin just fine.
Maybe someone should get out their ruler and measure his calves in this clip and compare it to previous videos. I bet the thread would be 4 pages long.
Well you managed to make an assumption with no visual clues other than a flapping baggy jersey that he appeared unfit or fat. So i would have thought the grey skies, muddy puddles and HINT, SNOW on the trailside not to mention long tights under the knee pads would have clued you up that it was cold. I guess you aren't Sherlock after all.
I dont usually jump down peoples throats but it just amuses me how people on the internet can make judgement calls from so little.
Judgment? I said I didn't RECOGNISE him cos it didn't LOOK like how he usually looks. Why would I be judging him when I specifically said I was keen to see him riding? Snow on the side of the trail = so what? There was 2ft deep drifts of snow lying around in Whistler when it was 25C at the start of the season. If it's that cold, why no pants or jacket? Sorry I didn't see the thermal underwear, guess I was too busy watching some riding instead. Obviously my priorities were in the wrong place there.
How's the hypocrisy in "making judgement calls from so little" when you're doing exactly the same thing? Seriously mate, chill the f**k out. It wasn't intended as a slight on Bryn, you're just blowing one simple remark way out of proportion.
ANYWAY - if Bryn/Jill are riding for Transition, sick. Be good to see Bryn back on a factory ride and dishing out some more punishment to the dirt.
edit: was Bryn on the black or the white fork? Cos it was the rider with the white 40 who appears at 0:14 who I was referring to. If that's not him, then no friggin wonder I didn't think it looked like him.

Jill IS riding DH this season. Should be good to see, she has nothing left to prove in 4x anyways.
Don't they have contracts that run till Dec 31st with SRAM and Intense? Perhaps not, but 'IF' so, that would be quite hacky to be running new frames and forks in public before current contracts are up.
All based on assumptions since we do not even know if it is them in the video. But isn't that what the internet is for?

You've really put your foot in it if it's Jill.
Good point, maybe that is why they didn't say any names and only gave close up shots of the bike, and stressed the point that it would be announced January 1st.
