Transition TR 11
$3000 USDI’m selling this bike on behalf of the widow of my best friend who passed away. He was the original purchaser of the bike. I went over it in the stand (I’m a former bike mechanic) to ensure there are no issues with the drivetrain, checked brake function and confirmed there’s no play in the pivots , took pictures and boxed it for shipping. My friend didn't ride DH often, so there's minimal overall wear. However, there is a scratch on one of the fork stanchions - see pics. The bike is packed in an XL BikeFlights box, ready to ship.

Ibis Ripley
$2000 USDI’m selling this bike on behalf of the widow of my best friend that passed away. He was the original purchaser of the bike. I went over it in the stand (I’m a former bike mechanic) to ensure there are no issues with the drivetrain, checked brake function and confirmed there’s no play in the pivots, took pictures and boxed it for shipping. There are numerous chips in the paint but none that appear to have damaged the underlying carbon - please look over the pics. The bike is packed in an XL BikeFlights box, ready to ship.

First Impressions: Riding Northstar, California with Geoff Gulevich, Damon Iwanaga & Cam Zink
Good stuff, but missing arguably the best runs on the mountain - Boondocks, Sticks and Stones > Speed Control, and Flameout > Woods

Field Test: Transition Patrol Carbon - The Party Machine
@HughBonero: I tried different chainstay lengths via the Cascade Components link for the Bronson MX (it adds 6mm of chainstay length). Making the stays longer/shorter works as you'd normally expect - shorter chainstays are easier to break loose. However, in general the chainstays on a mullet acted shorter to me than their length would otherwise suggest on a bike with equal size wheels.

Field Test: Transition Patrol Carbon - The Party Machine
@HughBonero: I found both mullet's I owned made it faster through switchbacks. Mostly due to how easy it is to unweight the rear tire to break traction.

Field Test: Transition Patrol Carbon - The Party Machine
When the field test is done, it would be great to see an in-depth article on the latest crop of purpose built mullets. I've owned two dedicated mullets, and am currently back on a full 29 and a full 27.5 after running into some handling traits I didn't prefer, but I'm still interested in the concept and would like to know how geo/handling are progressing from some folks that have ridden a wider variety of these.
