Here are some samples showing the production TR450 graphics and colors. There is a bit of a moto theme going with the red and yellow designs - a bit of shout out to the moto inspired "450" name. Both the red and the yellow frame graphics are clear coated over for durability and a clean look. The white frame has removable decals, with extras included so riders can really customize their setup. There may be some aftermarket TR450 decal kits sold by 3rd party companies, so the white frame is a great blank canvas.

Frames will begin shipping sometime in December.

 I don't like that they are putting graphics on this bike. All their other frames are really clean and that makes them stand out and look better in my opinion. Best frame colour on a bike at the moment is coves team orange, its awesome!

 Fluro orange is my favorite too Big Grin Especially on a Transition frame!

Here is my friend transition blinside fluro orange, looks pretty dope. But anywho, i would love that yellow and white one, with red components

flag Porter1 (Oct 29, 2009 at 17:16)
 Matt that bike is sweet is that a custom job?

Doing it yourself is an added cost, its ok after your stock paint is f*cked. But when i've just bought a frame i'd rather spend my cash on components!

flag mattpatt (Oct 30, 2009 at 7:28)
 It was a custom powder coating run. White base with a fluro orange top coat. Our team did 12 frames at the same time which helped bring the cost down. I think it worked out to be close to $100 a frame... which for a distinctive, head turning color, is a pretty good deal IMO.

 $100 is nothing for that paintjob! What frame is it?

 i would rep the red one with a white 40, white rims, red hub, red pedals, and all the other red stuff transition puts on stock. i set up my blindside with all blue highlights, and it looks sick (i think)...
