Mid '95 and the Amp B3 frame, all the way from Laguna Beach, arrives at my London office - lots of management annoyance at a big parcel for me in reception.
Add Mavic 123 on Hope
X-Lite bars and seat post
Middleburn cranks
Avocet O2 saddle
XT V brakes, XT front and rear mechs, XT thumbies
3x6 transmission
26 inch onZa porcs front and rear
Horst link suspension, 3 inches of travel front and rear.
24lbs all in, without really trying. About as rigid as a bag of wet noodles, super supple suspension, lightning fast uphill, terrifying downhill
Early '19 and the Transition Sentinel alloy frame arrives in a big parcel at home.
Add Stans on Stans.
Rental carbon lite bars and 175 dropper post.
XT boost cranks
Clarkes ti saddle
XT disc brakes KCNC 92gm rotors, XT shifter and XT rear mech
1x11 transmission
29 inch Magic Mary front Purgatory rear
Horst link suspension, 160mm front travel, 140mm rear
29lbs all in, without really trying. Rigid as the Forth rail bridge. Super supple suspension, nimble uphill and climbs up and over anything, awe-inspiring downhill
Nice. Both were fun to build and ride. Different bikes for different times....
