    @code3 what is your height/inseam and what size bike is that? I'm currently debating between the sentinal, kona process, nomad and bike that will be released soon. I'm going to pair either of these with a trance 29 carbon so I'm looking for a heavier hitting bike. My concern is that the transition is going to feel like a school bus and will be long and hard to keep playful. At 6'2" and 33/34 inseam I clearly need to be on an XL, but that ends up being a MASSIVE bike.

    What are your thoughts? Did you demo the nomad against this? I ended up really liking the nomad. Super confidence inspiring and you really feel in the bike and not on it, sorta like a dirtbike. That being said, it's essentially too much bike, but that's one of the things I like about it.

    I never could comprehend why people drive their car to the gym to go ride a stationary bike.

    They do that because you cannot ride a stationary bike to the gym. :facepalm:

    Hey, if it's good for ya, do it up. More people should be riding ridiculous and boring exercise bikes!! And remember that a lot of people think what we love to do is dumb, too.


    On that note...Happy Friday night and happy weekend, spokespeople :thumbsup::thumbsup:

    I'm actually looking forward to it. Mostly because it's going to be pouring down rain though. ;)

    I'm 5'10 with a 31/32 inseam. I fall right into the middle of Transition's medium and large sizing, but have felt comfortable on medium Transition's in the past, so stuck with medium here. I'm glad I didn't size up because the bike is looong. Any larger and I feel like I'd have to start manhandling it out of corners.

    I didn't get a chance to get on a Nomad, but from what I've heard, i'm guessing as an every day ride, it feels a bit more lively than the Sentinel. Though I definitely feel that this gives the same perception of being in the bike and inspiring confidence. However, if you're hoping for a bike to pop of everything, this probably isn't it.

    You'd love the stroller brigade with their paid drill sergeant trainers who run 4 wide on the path around the lake with their Starbucks in hand.
    Cup holders and TV.

    When my kiddos were littles I’d strap one in a backpack, one in a running stroller, the oldest one was walking and we go hiking...those were good days!

    Need to pick up a GX Eagle drivetrain, and a dropper, then pretty much ready to roll. Not sure on the dropper, debating between Race Face Aeffect like I have on the Chameleon, and a 'Shox Reverb. Probably go with the Aeffect as I've had zero issues with it over the last year and 1,200+ miles.

    PNG image.png Well since @Cyclotourist beat me to that Tallboy I had to explore other options...I really wanted a Trail Pistol but just couldn’t justify the price being over a grand more than this frame...

    Too bad you're not on my route. You would already have the frame in the stand ready to build it up. Congratulations!

    Bought a used (stock) 2008 Trek 4300 for $60 off CL, then hit the Gabriellino Trail (starting from JPL east parking lot). Ran out of water after the climb past Paul Little, then headed back.

    Ran into many riders, mostly rocking fancy/pricey FS bikes

    By pricey, we’re talking over a c-note, right?

    Ball busting, pal. Glad you got a cheap way in. Ride it to the ground and prepare for a bout of upgrade-itis.
