Oct 8, 2022Transition Sentinel with upgrades
$3000 CADThis beloved bike has been used regularly for 3 seasons (purchased April 2020), therefore shows some wear and tear (some parts of the frame were wrapped when I bought it, some not); most importantly though, it rides extremely smoothly on whatever you throw at it. Pivots and bearings have not been changed this year, but were inspected in July and showed no wear.
This is a true quiver killer bike for Revelstoke, the Shore, Squamish, etc...

Good, but not as badass as the guys who did the Wapta traverse on Canadian Tire gear (far superior to walmart) a few years back:

$1300 CAD*DISCLAIMER*
About 18 months ago, my mechanic informed me that he had found a VERY small crack on one side of the bottom shock mount (see photos) while doing some end-of-season maintenance. Now I don't know exactly how or when this happened (not from an impact though), but nothing budges when removing the shock and stress testing the crack the best I can, and I rode all of last summer without any issues whatsoever (I'm not super aggressive, but I love technical, steep riding, slab trails with heavy compressions, a day or 2 of bike park, etc). Realistically, this crack has been there for at least 1.5 seasons of riding.
I've contacted CarbonWorks in Oakvillle, ON with detailed information and photos and they are able to fix it ("Yes we can use special carbon infusion epoxy for this process and it is good for small areas as well and limited space") for $395. I'm after a new bike and just can't be bothered to deal with shipping across the country.
Otherwise, the bike has been well used and is in good mechanical condition.
