Finally got a Transition Bottle Rocket! I have been eyeballing them for a while now and had to pull the trigger. The LBS had one in stock at a discounted price since it had been sitting there for 2 years so I jumped on it and am pretty happy about it! So far the bike is great, defiantly a lot more flickable then my Giant Reign X1. I am actually amazed of how well the bike is balanced, just sinks right in to turns and flows great.

I do want to change the bars to a 2in rise and lower then stem down a bit (you can see 2in of stem spacers), anyone have a good recommendation? I like the BLKMKT Bada Boom bars, Renthal, Deity Topsoil, and NS…. Just having a hard time deciding! I would like to get the Deity but they have a 9deg back sweep which may be too much. Would like to stay in the 7-8deg range.... but no one has ano purple or orange!

Also, I am looking to change the sticker color to orange to match my King hubs…. Anyone know a good sticker shop?

Now for the photos!

No worries, you will be in the same boat when you get yours!

I love it so far, I took it out dirt jumping this weekend and it flows so nice and jumps with ease. I changed the tires to kenda K-rads which helped a ton.
