May 26, 2020Transition TR250
$2150 CADI'm selling my 2013 Transition TR250 in a hot green. This bike has completely slayed since the day I bought it. It's a perfect bike for cranking out shuttle runs or laps at the bike park, but it's still super nimble and you can pedal it up Fromme without killing yourself. It's super poppy, manuals like nothing else, and it's so fun the whip around. It's the perfect DH bike for a lighter rider who doesn't need triple crown forks, or someone who just wants something more versatile than a strictly DH rig.
This was the last year Transition made the TR250, which was too bad, because its versatility is spot on. It's running the Fox 36 Van 180mm fork, and the rear end has all sorts of adjustability, including chain stay/wheel base length, BB height, head tube angle, and rear travel (160-180mm)
I've configured this one for a combination of fast, flowy shuttle laps and North Shore tech, so it's got a 11-36 cassette, 32 chainring, rock ring and chain guide.
It's loaded with upgrades, including a Sram XO rear derailleur, Sram X9 shifter, Race Face Atlas cranks and a Chromag Fubar handlebar.
It's been loved and ridden for a few years, but well maintained, with a pretty recent drive train replacement (except chainring), I just replaced all the suspension linkage bearings, the tires have about 85-90% life left. The wheels are still solid and could be ripped a little longer, but they've got a flat spot or two and need a true. I did a brake bleed in September and haven't ridden it much since then. I'm the original owner, and bought it from Ruckus Bike Shop in Prince George.
The pedals aren't included, but I have a pair of Blackspire Sub 4 pedals that match the Fox Kashima that I could sell.
This is a super capable bike that will bring joy for years to come.

Feb 16, 2020Specialized Tarmac Comp
$2150 CADThis is a 2016 Specialized Tarmac Comp in stealth matte black, 54 cm. I bought it new from Dunbar Cycles in the fall of 2016 and have ridden three seasons on it, only taking it out in perfect weather and for a couple races. I've swapped the chain three times, the cassette once, brake pads once, tires once, and the grip tape once — all in the name of maintaining that fresh feel.

The bike retailed for $3,600-$3,700. It's in excellent riding condition. The rear tire could be replaced and there's some routine wear-and-tear I can describe if you're interested in the bike.

Pinkbike Welcomes Vernon Felton in Editorial Role
From the story description on the homepage:
"We're excited to officially announce the newest addition to our editorial team, Vernon Felton."
I don't believe you're addressing Vernon Felton in that sentence, so try replacing that comma with a colon, editors.

Is This The World's First 'Crowd Designed' Bike?
I don't know if it's the first crowdsourced bike, Pinkbike. Why would your headline ask me that? You're supposed to be the experts.
