My TransAm is nearing completion.

Still need to service fork, install brakes fully, gold chain and a few other bits.

Partially completed Transition TransAm

Thanks!
I know this is an older frame and *gasp* a 26" wheel but I've read reviews, posts and threads and people have loved these.

I have a few things to iron out, ie. brakes, steer length, cable length but I can't wait to get on it.

Enjoy it! I will certainly buy another old Trans Am frame if I ever see one up for grabs.

I swapped out the 450# for a SLS 525#, as well as my other vaults to match.

That TR500 is a beautiful rig! I’m playing around with my 2014 Covert 29. Just completed an air can service on the monarch, add 2 more spacers to the can. Added a obnoxiously blue chromag spoon saddle and generally cleaned it up (but not my work area!). And finally gave a Maxxis aggressor a go, sweet tire for sure! Looking forward to riding tomorrow with another pb homie!

Had the first blast on my freshly built Bottlerocket yesterday at Glentress. Mixing the old with the new. Despite the weight and geometry, with the 1x11 and relatively light build I actually kept up fine with everyone on newer AM bikes up the hills (although I was probably much more tired at the top) and had a massive grin on my face all the way down Beer Might lower the Lyrik to 150mm to make it a bit more manageable on the steep climbs which are a big part or Northumberland / Lakes / Borders riding.

The Bottlerocket is still an absolute blast event though it's looking old alongside most bikes on the hill now. Definitely had a few grins and comments about it!

First blast on the Bottlerocket at Glentress. Keeping it old school

Snow is here and my riding season is over. Is it worth all the work to do a full tear down and rebuild of all the pivots on my 2017 Patrol C? I have never done that with my other bikes but I love this one so much I want to make sure I take care of it as well as possible, but if it nots worth doing I don't want to bother.

Pull the rear shock and cycle the linkage... if you feel grit, grime, or any stickiness do it. I breathed new life into covert with new bearings and bolts...

Do it. Show your bike some love, it's worth it.

How did you get a DHX RC4 in Scout dimensions???? I've always wanted to try a coil shock.
