Damn! The Blindside always looked lame to me but this thing looks great, and it should (hopefully) not be too expensive either.

YESSS!!! I am so getting this when it comes out. I can alreasdy determine headangle, leverage rates, bb height, and wheelbase so I know it fits perfect!
but in all seriousness, that's a super sexy bike and i do want

Check out the rear derailleur cable routing. Sick! I'm liking this frame more and more.

It's not a hex axle
Unless it's a 6 position chain stay length adjuster(doubt it, too small a range), it sure looks like a hexagonal axle head to me.Obviously not the whole axle is hex shaped.
Looks like it might have a tapered headtube, Cool. Good for slight head angle adjustment.

That's the first Transition I've seen that is even remotely interesting. :clapping:

Wow... That looks really good. I hope they stick to basic colours like black and white when it goes into production. It's probably just me, but I think Transition really needs to stop trying to add weirder and weirder colours to their frames, just to be different.

I talked to Lars at PA last weekend he hinted at a new bike he's been working with them on. He said he should be riding one pretty soon.

I think it looks mighty fine. I'm gonna guess everyone is going to get one just like the blindside. Those things multiplied like bunnies.

The weird thing is, even though there are tons of blindsides out there. It's really hard to find one used.
That's because:

They're not the best, but they're fantastic bikes and;

They're cheap for what you get, so people know that if you to sell in a market like we have right now, you'd get pennies on the dollar for it.

This bike is a big evolutionary jump for Transition IMO. All of their bikes have been relatively primative as far as the tubing goes. It's more current and up to date...

I think it looks great!

That's what I was kind of hopping for. A blindside for pennies

i was gonna say kevin hinted at that a while back (the new DH frame), i think about 6 months ago.

but people should look out for lars on one at the fluidride cup

PS, ill be getting one as soon as there out!
