Another killer Covert 06/29/09While we are still figuring out our XC version of the Covert we built another freeride friendly version. Basically a TBC AM kit with an E13 Dual Ring chainguide, Sunline Bars and AM Stem, and a THE Ti saddle. Also up front the Fox 36 Van R, our build came in at 33 pounds 14 Oz. we pimped it out with an Industry Nine handbuilt wheelset with some Syncros rims. Not the lightest wheelset, but one of the coolest.

New Transition Covert 06/20/09We picked up our Coverts a few days ago and just managed to get one built. This is by far one of the better bikes for 2009. Our Covert weighed in at 31.14 with a not so light build. A full XC build should put this at 27-28 pounds for sure. Check out the front derailuer cable routing and also how the lines blend on the bike. We have the new Gravity Flatbar on also and it feels super sick , very stable and you get a firm feel for the bike. With the 67 deg head angle these bars really bring out the ripper feel of the bike. All Colors and Sizes available!!

Corsair Maelstrom 03/27/09We got our Corsair built up and running pretty damn smooth. I like this bike a ton and hope the company does really well as this is going to be a very nice addition to a very competitive market. Our bike is 41 pounds and we didnt really care much about the weight..Azonic Wheelset, Boxxer Team, Gravity Gap cranks, Modified Gamut guide to work with the Idler pulley, Michelin DH tires..not a lightweight but rides killer.

Yeti 303RDH 03/20/09We recieved our Yetis a few weeks ago and are just now getting one built up, mainly due to horrible weather and the lack of anyone riding. First impressions are very high, nice manufacturing, welds, facing, everything very clean right from the factory. I dig the adjustable geometry and the frame with the shock was 11 pounds 6 ounces. Check out our finished rig , 39 pounds 0 ounces. If you need more info come check it out at the shop or shoot us an email/phone call.

Transition Bank 02/12/09We got one of the first Banks all built up finally. I like this bike over the TOP, it is so light and flickable, and the eccentric dropouts are a nice touch. This is a well built frame and there are few that really compare on the market, especially for the price.

Busy Weekend 01/19/09Finally the weather is looking good in Bellingham! Lots of people riding and back on their bikes. I had a killer ride and it was about 10 deg warmer up at 1500 feet than at sea level. One of our current projects is a full tilt Knolly V-tach for one of our good customers Kevin Cobb. This thing is gonna rip it up and we will post some stages of the build process and the final biuild when its all done.

Banshee Powdercoating 01/19/09Like we have been doing with transition for a long time now, Banshee Bikes has stepped on board with letting us powdercoat some of their frames. This adds personal flash to your whip and also helps companies keep color choices simple and cost down for consumers. Not only that but the paint that comes out of tiawan sucks as most of you know already. Check it out and let us know if your looking at a Banshee maybe we can hook you up on a sweet custom bike or frame!

A Few New Builds 01/04/09Winter has us begging to get out and ride, but the snow level is at sea level and the trails are solid ice for now. So we decided to throw together a few more bikes. Check out Transitions new TransAm All mountain rig, really a nice bike! We also built up a more FR friendly Covert for kicks. Ours came in at 34 pounds and can definately handle some abuse. Both bikes are on the floor in our shop so check em out or if your in the market for something similar give us a ring or email.

Spencers Whip 12/07/08So check this out. Economy sucks, most manufacturers are delaying bringing in 2009 product until at least the first of the year fo most DH oriented frames. This puts a lot of stress on our shop because there really isnt much available right now. My buddy Spencer needed a new bike bad, and he wanted a Morewood, but there werent any so he went around with a few people in the industry looking for a ride. Richard over at Morewood bikes hooked him up with his son Geritt Beytagh , 2008 US National DH Champ! Geritt sold him his 2007 backup frame that was specially made. Anyways, enough name dropping, you get the pic, at least when you click the link! Sick ass bikes are what Morewood is all about, tight race geometry and clean lines. Check one out next chance you get.

Banshee Wildcard 11/17/08We got our new Banshee Wildcard up and running. I am really stoked to put some time in on this bike so we decided to stay with the buildkit from Banshee, added a Gamut Chainguide and a 2009 White Totem Coil. I plan on running it in the 6.5 mode so I wanted the benifit of a bit more travel up front than the Fox 36 coil. We will be doing some filming this coming weekend and getting some nice pix so stay tuned Im sure there will be some carnage.
