The new hardtail from Transition "gears" itself toward the minimalist trail rider; it's light, can be converted to single speed, and rips single track. Keep your eyes for these in shops within weeks.

The new TransAM frames are here just in time to get ready for winter riding. Some cool new features like a custom chain tug for singlespeeding, removeable cablestops and waterbottle mounts! The biggest thing is how smooth the decals and paint turned out. We went a little old school and it matches up with the style of the bike perfectly.






For the singlespeed build.

Water bottle mounts? looks like one mount for a water bottle.

Nice looking frame, I like that they switched to ISCG05 mounts.

I like...but what does it take to "convert" to SS? New rear wheel, crankset...what else? My mind is a zero...
Actually, neither of those things. All you really need to do it well is a chain, chainring, cog, and some spacers for the freehub body.
