Hi Pinkbike,

I'm looking to sell my 2016 Transition TR500. 2016 was the final year that they produced this model before moving on to the TR11, but man this is still one of their coolest and most enduring gravity bikes.

The bike features adjustable rear travel (180mm or 203mm) as well as short and long wheelbase settings. Some of the components on my bike are stock, in particular the XO1, 7-speed drivetrain, but most of them are custom upgrades. The wheels are Mavic Deemax Ultimates, and they are in great shape with only one very small ripple in the rear wheel and one missing spoke (which I can't replace without the correct thread taps -- my mechanic does not have a set). The Fox DHX 2.0 features an upgraded, lightweight SLS coil. On top of that, the brakes were upgraded to Shimano Saints w/ 203mm, 6-bolt rotors. The tires are Schwalbe Magic Marys in the Soft Compound: 2.6 front, 2.35 rear. Everything else is stock, except for the handlebars, which are RaceFace Turbine 35s, cut to 780mm.

I bought this bike from the original owner in the fall of 2017. He serviced the suspension right before selling the bike to me, and I'm reluctant to admit that this was the last time it was serviced. Elapsed time aside, I would emphasize that I probably haven't even put in enough hours on the bike to justify paying for another full service just yet (about 40 hours, if I had to guess). The fork and shocks still feel excellent to me, so I am putting the bike up for sale as is. However, if you are making a serious offer but would prefer me to service the suspension before sending/dropping off the bike, I am willing to negotiate.

DM me with any questions, comments, or offers. If you're local, you can also come by The Spoke, our local bike shop, where I've got it on the floor during the day. My cell is (603) 667-7498.

Thanks,
Chuck
