Jan 10, 2023Transition Sentinel carbon, medium
$500 GBP2020 Transition Sentinel Carbon Frame, 29”, Medium
I bought this as a full bike second hand, back in September 2020, I think the original owner purchased it at the back end of 2019). It has taken everything I’ve thrown at it in its stride, from local evening laps, to all day epics, it climbs well, but it is definitely in its element on steep technical trails. A real all rounder that loves tech!
Overview specs
140mm rear travel
Fox Float DPX2 performance elite
Suits a 160mm fork
64 degrees head angle
76.8 degree seat angle
Reach 450mm
29” wheels

Positives
It was inivisframed from new, and generally the appearance is good. Well maintained and regularly service frameset, it has a fresh set of bearings fitted just two rides ago, and the headset bearings have plenty of life left in them. I had the shock serviced in 2021 by sprung.
Downsides
This is a well used frame, generally the appearance is good, but there are a marks in the inivisiframe coating. There is a small score mark near the rear brake mount(pictured), which has always been there for as long as I’ve owned the bike.
The reason for the low price, is there is some play in the rear end which I’ve not managed to track down, I’ve changed a lot of the linkage hardware, which has improved it, but is still occasionally noticeable, mainly through high speed chatter, It has always been present for the whole time I’ve owned it, and generally you don’t notice it, but I couldn’t sell the frame without a heads up. If you have any questions or would like more pictures let me know, and I’ll be as open and honest as I can
Includes seatpost clamp, and cane creek 40 headset top caps and bearings, I might have a spare crown race laying about but I’d have to check.
Happy to post, and will cover the cost if I get asking price, payment via PayPal preferred

Jul 9, 2021Orange P7s 29 medium
$1400 GBPSelling my Orange P7 29, I bought the bike on cycle to work scheme in January 2020, and I’m selling as it’s too similar to my enduro bike, so doesn’t get much use. It’s a medium size, I’m 175cm and fits great.
I’ve upgraded the wheels to Mavic XA trail wheelset, so the bike goes up as well as it descends

There’s a small mark on the fork stantion, but as it’s far up the leg, it doesn’t affect performance. Other than that there are a few usual scuffs and scrapes, but in good condition.
Local pick up only, Bristol based, but happy to travel within an hour for viewings

There is some cosmetic damage to the frame, and cranks, pictured, which occurred when removing some of the invisiframe, which is reflected in the price
I’ve disabled the shapeshifter, as I found I wasn’t using it, however it should be restorable if you want to use it
I’ll cover the postage if I get the full asking price
