blatant

This is a really nice build on a RM Element alloy frame. This is Rocky’s short-travel destroyer. All-mountain geo in a snappy 120mm travel package. This is a leftover 2023 frame I purchased from Rage Cycles about a month ago. Most of the parts were bought at the same time; any exceptions listed below. This bike has 56 miles on it. High-wear areas covered in AMS; couple of tiny paint chips from riding. Never down and ready to go. The build: Size large alloy frameset, 190x45 Rockshox Deluxe shock for 120 rear travel. Has Rocky’s Ride 4 system for different geo settings. Manitou Mattoc expert fork. Really nice bit of kit. Currently set at 140 travel. Internally adjustable to 150-120 with included shims. Roval Traverse wheelset. This is a really nice lightweight aluminum wheelset with DT 350 hubs, rear 36 ratchet. Specialized Eliminator Grid T9 front, Ground Control T7 Grid rear. Tubeless with nifty $50 Fillmore valves. Brakes are Magura Trail Sport, which is essentially an MT5 4-piston front and an MT8 -piston rear with one-finger levers. Magura Storm 203/180 rotors. Truckerco pads. I have a spare MT5 caliper if you wish to go 4-piston rear. Drivetrain is mixed SRAM Eagle. GX 170 cranks with a new Dub pressfit BB installed. GX 10-52 cassette, GX shifter, XO1 derailleur, XO1 chain. Wolftooth 30-tooth oval ring. I have spare 30, 32 and 28 round rings, too. The drivetrain does have significantly more use. It works fine, but is older than everything else. I will include a spare GX cassette and derailleur. OneUp 210mm dropper with Wolftooth lever, older Volt saddle, Chromag 50mm stem, Renthal 800mm bars, ODI grips, Wolftooth spacers and topcap. No pedals, but I will include both Fidlock bottle mounts. Yes, two bottle mounts inside front triangle! Please don’t waste my time and I’ll show you the same courtesy. The $2,600 price for this bike is fair and firm. I can swap in a different wheelset to drop a couple hundred. Phoenix local only, no interest currently in shipping. Would consider an XL 3.2 Banshee Titan frame in partial trade.

Please read the entire ad. This listing is for the FRAME ONLY!! Yes, the photos are of the complete bike. It has not yet been disassembled and the frame buyer will have the opportunity to test ride. This is a size XL Transition Spur frameset in matte black finish with custom decals. This is a 120 travel full carbon frame. This bike fundamentally defined the downcountry category. Light, excellent pedaller, very modern geometry. What’s included in the price: Frame, rear axle, seat clamp, Cane Creek 40 headset, upgraded Roskshox Ultimate shock, stock chainguide. This is a night-day difference from the stock Sidluxe shock on the bike. I will leave the dropper and derailleur cables run. I’ll leave the OneUp 210mm dropper and Wolftooth lever for $150. I could be talked into adding the new Manitou Mattoc fork. This frame is mechanically perfect. It’s quiet and dialed. There is zero structural damage. However, Transition’s paint quality leaves much to be desired and this is the worst quality paint I’ve seen. That’s why it’s covered in wrap. It’s a 5-footer for sure in the paint department. If you’re really particular about paint, this isn’t the frame for you. To be clear, all decals and tape are removable if pink ain’t your thing. See closeup photo of BB area for an example of the paint. Good opportunity to pick one up cheap and do your own build. PM with questions or to come see it. Price does include fees and shipping in CONUS; strong preference for local cash buyer.

Newer Rockshox Pike Ultimate. 29, Boost, 130 travel, 42 offset, steerer cut at 8.125 inches. One photo has the serial and I included all the specs from the SRAM site when running the serial. I took this on trade, so no receipt/warranty. It’s got bushing knock. The fork is perfectly functional and rideable as is. Damper, spring, rebound, compression all work as new. If you’re not OCD like me, you could ride this as is and be fine; it feels/sounds like minor headset play. If you are OCD, it needs new bushings in the lowers. Some companies will replace or repair; the fastest way is to buy a new set of lowers for around $300. Includes axle, starnut, a bunch of volume spacers, RS 30-wt oil, new seals, foam rings and seal head kit for air and damper side. $250 total. I’ll cover PP fees and shipping in CONUS.

Pictures show complete bike. What’s included for the price is what is listed below. Please read the entire ad before contacting me. This has been one of about the top 5 bikes I’ve owned. It’s a blast. But after 20 years, I’m pursuing some other hobbies and my riding is changing. If you’re a Phoenix local, I would consider certain short-travel trailbike trades (Tallboy, Element, Spur, etc, in XL). I will sell complete to locals. Otherwise, here’s what you get for $1300 all-in. Yes, the price includes fees and insured shipping in CONUS. V1 Forbidden Druid high-pivot frame, carbon, gloss moss, size XL. Sizing is pretty conservative on these; it’s a biggish large. Currently set up with the stock 130 link. All pivots have been serviced and torqued to spec. Bearings are good. Mechanically perfect, but the bike has been ridden in Phoenix and has a fair amount of paint rash. I will gladly provide high-detail photos. Other items: Fox DPX2 PE shock with a full bag of volume spacers for you to tune with. Cane Creek Hellbender headset Two aftermarket rear axles (MRP and Rockshox) Three derailleur hangers Seat clamp I’ll leave the mech and dropper cables run Jank Components idler pulley plus the stocker Stock chainguide Cascade Components custom 30-tooth chainguide (less drag) Cascade Components B1 link, bumps travel to 142 Factory Ziggy link to run mullet if you choose. Again, shipping/fees included, so this is a solid value. Happy to answer questions or provide more detail.
