 Headtube from treck, front tubeing from specialized, seat tube bracket from specialized, rear linkage piviot style from giant, shock placement from norco, I dunno how they got around all the pointing fingers on who's stealing ideas

 Certainly on my top 3 list of DH frames out there, no bells and whistles, only the necessities. As Super9 mentioned, "Doesn't look too radical or flashy and yet it totally stands on its own in a strange way", couldn't have said it any better myself! The geometry, leverage ratio, and burly rear dropouts are just about perfect in my opinion. Great job Transition Bikes!

 I Adore the design of this thing. Doesn't look too radical or flashy and yet it totally stands on its own in a strange way. Gonna be a sick whip for sure. Would love to see it in a yellow or something bright - getting a little tired of the white.
