What am I? Awesome. What is the new Transition TR450 downhill frame? Also awesome. And why, you may be asking yourself, am I going to eventually claim that Cycle Sport is awesome as well? I'll tell you why. 'Cause we're the newest shop on the block to be slangin' Transition bikes, and their latest downhill racer is en route as we speak.
Let me learn you something real quick. Some bike frames suck. Some don't. This is one that don't (yeah, grammar Nazi, I'm aware). Transition's new TR450 downhill frame is quite possibly one of the cleanest frame designs to date. I realize the irony of that statement given the picture above. Nevertheless, they've kept the shock low in the frame, tucked the linkage inside some fancy aluminum manipulation, and engineered the geometry to basically torch any World Cup course or local track you've got the sack to send it down. Its main pivot houses the biggest bearing this side of the Mississippi, and the front triangle features double welding. DOUBLE WELDING, YO!!! First I've heard of it. But that's all I need to know. From now on, I want double everything. Double shocks. Double front brakes. Double wheelsets. Um, scratch that last one; they've already got something like that and I don't want to qualify for it. Double burritos. Double monies. Double sock drawers...
But seriously, come early- or mid-January, Cycle Sport will be stocking one of these hot rods for you to check out. I dare you not to buy it. Wait, I dare you to buy it. No, wait. Which dare would most likely result in you buying it? Okay, then I dare that one.
The frame will sell for $2,399.00 with a Fox DHX RC4 coil rear shock (9.5" x 3" stroke). The frame we're receiving is White, sized Medium. But if that's not your favorite flavor, we can order up any size/color your taste buds prefer.
Look, I know I've said this before, but this time I really mean it: It's. The. New. Hotness.
