Feb 15, 2026Transition Sentinel Carbon Size Medium
$3750 USDI’m selling my 2025 Transition Sentinel. It is a size medium, maybe 200 miles of use total, nearly new. I have two trail bikes because I thought this would be sick, and while it is, I just can’t justify two in the garage.
Here’s what it is made of:
Frame: 2025 Transition Sentinel, size medium 150mm travel
Fork: 2025 Fox Factory 160mm travel
Wheels: Crankbrothers Synthesis carbon, the $2500 ones, 29 front and rear
Drivetrain: SRAM XO shifter and derailleur, Race Face Next carbon cranks
Brakes: Magura calipers and XTR levers. These are very powerful and light
Seatpost: One Up 150mm dropper post
Seat: SDG carbon railed
Stem, carbon bar, chainring, seat binder and derailleur hanger: Burgtec
Yes, it is top of the line. It is about 28 pounds right now without pedals. One of the lightest trail bikes in the 28/29 pound travel range with parts that are durable and capable. I will hopefully meet you by the back bay by University and Irvine so you can ride the bike, check it all out, and make sure it is as described. The bike is darn near new, and has not been registered. You can be the original owner via registration if you want. This is over a $10K bike with the parts, a true custom build.

Video: Transition Announces Carbon Patrol Coming This Fall
Not all GX builds are equal. I don't know all the specs from other brands, but I got an aluminum Patrol for my wife and it has basically top end suspension, great brakes, and GX stuff. It isn't cheap, but Transition generally puts money where it is most noticed.

Oct 2, 2021Ibis RipMo Top End Build AXS Reserve Carbon Wheels
$5900 USDI'm selling my Ripmo, I can't justify it in the garage anymore. I haven't ridden it too much as I have overlap in my bikes, I've got longer travel and shorter travel, and while this is the perfect single do it all bike, I'm lucky enough to have lots of other options.
I'm firm on the price, but not dead set no movement. I am also willing to sell just the frame and fork, as these wheels will also fit on my shorter travel bike and be the 'burly set' if I want. So basically, I'm open to someone that wants the whole bike. That's $5900. This would retail around $10K, so I feel $5900 is very fair for the current time and the excellent condition. I'm willing to sell the bike without the wheels. I think $4600 is very fair for that. AXS components and carbon frame and upgraded fork, that also seems like a very fair amount. If you want the frame and fork only, then I'm open to that. At around $4500 retail for frame, shock, fork and upgrades I think $2300 is very, very fair for that.
Here are the details for all of it.
Size medium Ibis Ripmo carbon frame, upgraded MRP Hazzard coil rear shock
Fox 36 Factory kashima fork with external MRP ramp control for suppleness and bottom out resistance
Reserve Carbon 30mm wheels with Chris King hubs (These wheels are so good with a lifetime warranty that is the reason I would keep them and sell the bike without wheels)
Code RSC brakes with 200mm rotors
Shifter/Derailleur: SRAM AXS Eagle 12 speed wireless
Cassette: SRAM XX1 Eagle 10-50 tooth
Cranks: SRAM XX1 carbon
Seatpost: Fox Factory kashima 150mm
Bar: Ibis carbon
Stem: Race Face 50mm
Seat: Spank
Tires: Maxxis Assegai
That's the bike, it is top of the line everything, and in perfect working condition. There are a few scratches, it was ridden, but not much. Please look at the downtube photo which gives an idea of the care taken of the bike in an area that is usually hidden from view and a little beat up. It isn't super clean, there is some dust here and there. No smoke and mirrors here, you can see it in person, ride it around, and make sure it is up to snuff. Message me when you would like to meet up. I am usually available after normal work hours.

Review: TRP's New TR12 Shifter and Derailleur
No, it won't happen. People aren't willing to invest in a company (like TRP here) that is just behind the 8 ball so to speak. That lack of funding will further hamper development dollars. No small company will come out with better refinement or manufacturing than Shimano or SRAM. There would have to be an actual change in the process, or how shifting is done. It isn't too bad, it is consumer choice. If everyone wanted competition, then they would buy from the small guy and raise them up, with performance sacrifices. But, that's not what happens. You buy the stuff you think works the best, right now.

Apr 10, 2020Transition TR11 Size Small New Parts and Fresh Service
$2800 USDI'm selling my wife's DH bike, it was new last year, and I just put some new parts and service on it, so it is ready for a new home. Why am I selling it? Because I bought my wife a new trail bike, she rides that way more, and I don't want stuff sitting around not being used. Here are the details, feel free to ask any questions.
Frame: 2019 Transition TR11 size small, 350, 400, 450 pound spring rates available.
Fork: Fox 40 Factory with Kashima coating. Converted to spring (light weight spring for 130-150 pound rider) for ultimate small bump sensitivity. Just serviced. Sale includes a spare Grip damper
Wheels: ENVE M90 wheels built on DT Swiss 240 hubs. The wheels are scratched, and have some chips in them. They are still light, strong and nice though.
Brakes: Brand new, never used Shimano XT 4 piston brakes. Truly never used. Photos included of new packaging. 180 rear/200mm front rotor
Shifter: Brand new, never used Shimano XT 11 speed.
Derailleur: Shimano XT
Cassette: Shimano 105 11 speed road cassette, 11-27. The cassette pictured is an 11-28, the 11-27 is included in the sale.
Cranks: New Gravity Crankset and BB, 165mm length, 36 tooth ring.
Chainguide: New Gamut P30, including extra bashguard.
Bar: Burgtec RideWide
Stem: New Gamut Cillos DH, adjustable for 45, 50, 55mm length
Seatpost: Truvativ
Saddle: ANVL
Pedals: No pedals included. I'd much, much, much rather sell this locally and have someone see it and ride it, and do this that way, if that happens, I'll of course put pedals on it for you to try it out.
The photo of the fork service is from April 7th, the brakes went on April 8th, and new shifter/cranks/BB and chainguide April 8th as well. This is a high end bike that will be great for anyone that fits it. Speaking of size, my wife is 5'6", 135 pounds or so. It is sprung and sized for her, but should be good for anyone looking for a DH bike under 5'7".
Regarding the fork, it is in the most supple (coil) form you can get, which is what my wife wanted. If you want it to be air, you can get an air spring assembly and put it in, and then you're good to go. I just don't have that. But you do get the extra Grip damper, so that's a big plus.
The wheels look beat up. They are beat up. But they are still good, and work well. If you are concerned with the viability of carbon rims, you can just cut out the hubs, which are a $600 value on their own and build aluminum rims on them.
I'm selling this bike which would retail for around the $9K mark for below $3K because I think that is what is fair, and worth it for the whole package. If the wheels were in better condition I'd be way more inclined to sell this for $3500 to $4K. So please, no lowball offers, I'm in no rush to sell. Thank you.
