Happy Late Christmas!

It was a happy late Christmas at the shop! We got a bunch of sick Transitions in the other day. It was quite a site to look on the shop floor and see over 20k in bikes just chilling there.
First up is the much anticipated Transition TR450, and for good reason. This bike is sick.

The next bike we'll take a look at is the Transition Blindside V3. There have been several key updates to the blindside frame making it lighter and stiffer than previous versions. The Blindside is mostly known as being a freeride bike, but is also extremely versatile and you can build it up however you want. This Blindside is built up to be an extremely light Downhill racing machine, and it couldn't have come out any better. When the build was finished we weighed it and it came out at an astounding 35.6 lbs!

We had two other amazing Blindsides in the shop for customers both set up a little differently, but oriented more for freeride. One is built up big and burly with a Fox 40 and other is set up with a Totem. All the bikes set up on the floor looked amazing.
