How did you get all the paint off?

walnut shell ... maybe baking soda ... or a combination of the two?

I did a frame recently (photos on profile for anyone interested), just normal paint stripper works, but leave it on waayyyy longer than the instructions say.

I haven't got the patienece for anything like that. I'd do a bad job of one chainstay and never finish it.

Yes, it's definitely not a 2 minute job if you want a good finish.

Bar possibly swapping to the carbon wheelset from my Tallboy, looking forward to getting this dirty.

Got me a patrol last week. The geo is so much more comfortable than the '17 Process it replaced. Still getting over the weight (34.5lbs right now) But it is a beast. Had a little difficulty getting the shock set up right, ended up just removing the stock volume spacer and now it feels good. I think a coil is in it's future though. Transition's advertised seatpost insertion depth was off though. Just barely able to fit my 200mm 9.8 post in Facepalm

That is a very sweet bike. Wished of owning a 29er version.

Does anyone from this thread want to sell their now retired 2016 Medium Scout to a new home where it will be loved and cherished?
