yeah I am sure..I have friends working in Taiwan and the States in the bike industry Wink


Specialized's Demo7 certainly gets my vote...awesome rig if build from a frame upwards as a custom build

Transition have great kudos and are seen as "cool" but their frame quality, tubeset and suspension system design is primitive compared to Specialized Eek

thats a dirty lie!!!! or a very uncommon opinion Smile

i dont think it is an uncommon opinion....thats why you dont see a transition section on here but you see a specialized

cus transition is samll and specialized is one of the biggest in the world. its popular. starbucks is also popular, and starbucks isnt that good. not saying specialized isnt good. theyre a great company that has made it big in the industry. but transition from my experiance has better bikes. ive ridden a demo 7 and a bottle rocket, and a blindside, and an sx trail all on real quality riding and transition wins for me

yes but you also own a transition and ride it all the time...riding a bike a couple times thats set up for someone else doesnt mean shit. Ride each one of those bikes for a month straight so there set up exactly for you (frame size, sag ,high/low compresssion ,rebound ect.) without riding yours then give your opinion. Until you do that your just a 13 yr old defending the faith in the bike you own and what you think is the "Popular opinion" or the "In thing"

Why not try a TURNER Highline...7 or 8" of travel and handmade in the USA. Customer service is 2nd to none. I speak from experience...currenlty riding a six pack, but longing for a Highline myself. I also looked into the Blindside which is pretty sick, but a little heavier and not as proven design. Both would be great bikes, but if you have the dough I think the USA made Turner would get my vote. Good luck.
