This bike is awesome and we had a great time reliving my dreams of still being able to ride DH and bike park at 45 years old, over weight and over worked. I purchased on a whim after riding a weekend of bike parks in Montana in late July on my Transition Sentinel and realizing that I would have much more fun and confidence riding park and jumping on a DH bike. Purchasing the bike made me commit to riding it as much as possible, which at my age and fitness level turned into a total of about 12 hours moving time, including the lift rides as I left strava rolling, over the course of 10 days with a couple days each at Timberline, Bachelor and Whitefish with a few hours each at Schweitzer and Stevenspass. Never did make it up to Whistler which was the goal all season. This bike is the size Large FRS Ride model in a sage green, the base of their compete offerings. Bike is completely stock as spec’d currently by Commencal USA including boxer select and super deluxe select shock. I have 400/450/500/550 springs available, the 400 is what comes stock. At 260# in riding gear and runnning at about 25% sag I was running the 450 with some preload. This bike is super fun DH / park / free ride bike and leans more towards flow and jump lines and sending it than many DH bikes that are more focused on all out speed and traction and using 29” wheels. While Commencal World Cup racers are on their 29” supreme, this is the flickable freesride and park bike that riders like Kyle Straight and Andrew Lacondeguy huck Rampage with. Bike is in overall excellent condition. both wheels spin true, tire wear shown in pics. There are some paint scratches on the chain stay paint as shown in photos and there is a scratch on the right stancion that looks way worse in the light and pics and is on the finish and not leaking. I only had one crash and it was a high speed scorpion after digging the front wheel in a deep sand trap and going otb, and the bike tumbled with me. Also missing the top adjuster non on the charger damper. With only 5 clicks of adjustment, it’s still functional by hand, so I hadn’t replaced yet as it wasn’t vital. I have been super impressed by this bike. I normally ride fox factory suspension on my other bikes and had looked at upgrading this, but honestly it rode Amazon, with very little adjustment after initial set and forget setup. Now if only I had good bike park or DH shuttle riding nearby or friends that also rode DH or park, then I would be stoked, but as it is… I drove thousands of miles over the summer weekends an average of 6-8 hrs driving to ride chairlifts and this bike for 2-3 hours. So it’s time to pass this on to someone who’s stoked to send it and is waiting for one of these bikes in a Large that is currently unavailable in any build or frame. I do still have the original box and will ship at buyer expense or willing to meet within short drive of Hood River- Portland/I5/Tiberline/ etc.

Up for sale is this 2022 Transition Patrol XT build 29”/27.5 Mullet Raw color. I purchased new in Sept of 2021 and rode weekends through Oct into Nov before putting away for the winter. Only few rides on it since, and also have trail bike- (Intense Primer- also listed for sale on PB) This was always too much bike for me- or more specifically- 10 years ago this would have been perfect, but I am older and not as rad as I used to wish I was. This bike needs to be ridden hard and sent not pedaled around after work by middle aged dude with an old dog. I was able to find and spot purchase a Sentinel carbon in March, which I believe better for an all around 1 bike quiver. The Patrol just doesn’t like long trail pedals as much as it does hauling ass and sending it… when I went to clean up the Patrol to list for sale I found an anomaly in the front triangle. After some back and forth and some waiting, Transition replaced the front triangle and I rebuilt the bike from scratch this week when it arrived. XT Build is exactly as listed on Transition site except for following front end swaps from the brand new Sentinel. -Brand new Lyric Select 160mm Fork (I’m keeping the 38) -Switched stem/bars with New Race Face Chester 35 In retail pricing this would be a $590 difference from the $5600 Transition price tag, and I’m asking another $600 less than that for essentially 3 months of weekend use. Paid over $6k with tax new in Sept. Build highlights (full details on Transition site) Fox Factory X2 Shock- fresh rebuild at Fox in Dec Shimano XT 4 piston brakes Shimano XT 12sp drivetrain DT Swiss EX1700 rims on DT350 hubs This bike is super fun to ride and even more so when there is a chairlift involved. That said, even though I’m not a fan of long trail rides on it, it does climb amazing and I am continuously surprised. In test riding this week after rebuild I will as able to easily winch up the push up trail in dropout at post canyon. A steep walk back for another lap of features trail which I don’t even expect to be able to pedal. Maybe I never figured out the 38, but the Lyric was super poppy and the bike rode jump and flow trails amazing when I rode it this week. Front triangle is shiny and brand new. Bike does show some wear- pedal/crank arm strikes, some chain marks on chain stay, etc but in overall excellent condition. All bearings either new with rebuild or cleaned, greased, etc. Located in White Salmon/ Hood River. Willing to travel some to meet part way for regional PNW sale- Bend/Portland/I5 corridor.

I had initially begun getting parts to build to ride- as I had not been able to find the perfect frame in the last year+ and bought a longer travel bike for some park days end of season, which it turns out I hated pedaling, so I was committed to rebuilding this Primer as an all around trail bike. Then, without warning, the Transition Sentinel I wanted was available and I had to make a CC purchase on the spot. New drivetrain and some other components came off of this new bike- where as others were purchased specifically for the rebuild. One test ride on Syncline after completing the build on Sunday and have to say the bike may be riding the best it ever has! (I had been running it 11sp with a 32-47 setup) I climbed Maui Falls, which I never even attempt. The bike is lighter than ever (took off heavy Atlas cranks, saint brakes, etc from previous build) and the 30t front 50t rear is a low range steep climbing machine! Actually super impressed by the smoothness of the SRAM Eagle GX/NX shifting setup. Used old grips on test ride so new grips are BRAND NEW- no other hands or rides on them. Wheels- 32 hole Hope Pro4 Hubs with LB Carbon 28mm inside rims. I am 255# and ride hard and fast. Used to blow up wheels until I started building them myself. My previous wheels- built in 2014 are still on my friends Tracer. These wheels little overbuilt for this bike, but will take anything and outlive most other parts. I have ridden this bike all over and while I wouldn't choose it for a park or chairlift day- have ridden everything I would (at 45) on a longer travel bike in Hood River, Post Canyon, etc. and can handle whatever you throw at it, while being one of the most nimble, light agile and enjoyable climbers or all day trail bikes around. Ask me anything.. obviously I love this bike and we've had great quality time together, from initial build, riding, maintaining and rebuilding. Cannot get anywhere close to this quality of a ride for less than $4k new! An older frame with updated and new parts- top of the line suspension and the nimble fast feel only carbon wheels can provide! Would sell without carbon wheels- trading for Stans Flow on Novetech Hubs (sentinel takeoff) and NX 12sp Cassette for $3300

Up for sale is my beloved Santa Cruz Nomad Carbon 27.5. I purchased this frame new from Fat Tire Farm (have receipt) in Portland Oregon in spring of 2014 and built her up piece by piece to be perfect, as if I would own her forever. While yes, she has been ridden hard and put away wet at times... she has been owned by a mid 40's no kids, good job rider who spoiled her with maintenance and parts as needed. A crash and subsequent shoulder surgery took me out in late 2015, and I only rode a few days on her after that before ending up with a shorter travel 29er trail bike that I have been riding primarily the last couple years. She has been built up differently over time and I do also have a freshly built Fox 36 fork I could switch out to for additional $300 if desired. Here is how she's built now. All bearings were gone through and serviced before winter with only handful of rides on since.
