Transition Spur.

Been after a light XC bike since I sold my carbon Cube HT that had replaced my Ragley gravel bike. After much deliberation and heavy flirting
with a Specialized Epic, I landed on a new Spur frame for a good price. The initial plan was to build it with most of the parts from my Pace HT but as tends to happen it's ended up as a pretty much new build. Carried over were the dropper, carbon bar, stem and pedals. I picked up some second hand DT wheels as I really want carbon but don't want to pay for them atm! After that it's XT groups, Hope Tech 4 E4, Hope headset and SID Ultimate forks.

Took it out for a shake down run yesterday and am happy to report it is exactly what I wanted it to be. Don't know what it weighs but it flies up hill and feels really smooth and quick. I've not had a multi link FS before and it feels very plush out back, so much so that the front feels a bit harsh so there's fettling to be done. Just the job for the long XC days in the Dales I have planned!

Best of all I have managed to cobble together enough parts to keep the Pace running so this is N+1! BTW, purple was correct in the 90's and is still correct now.

You won't be disappointed mate, they are lovely bikes and the rear suss is amazing. Set mine up with plenty of air in the rear tyre but it rides like it's running 20 psi! Been riding my bigger bikes this week but can't wait to get the Spur back out on the trails.

Very nice.

I wanted one of these back in 2021, but they were hens teeth. Ended up with a yeti sb 120 instead, which isn't quite as modern geometry
