HAVE YOU SEEN THIS BIKE?? Stolen on 8/30/19 Transition Scout 32

..is this still stolen?

DEFINITELY still stolen/missing. If you have any info please hit me at zoetaylor13@gmail.com

Who did your grafix there sick!!

the vinyl was cut at cyclepath Pdx.

Beauty! Incredible level of detail with the parts spec. Well done!!

Outstanding build POWsLAYER!! Digging the polished silver accents. I've been a fan of the Onza Skinwall tires for some time, but haven't put them on a build as of yet.

Jeez! Mind blowing build!

Thanks Tom! Miss you dude, this summer , we ride!

miss you too Zoe! Bring that thang up here so we can shred!

Wow! Great work!

How do you like the SBG Scout compared to the old?

I had my first one built with a 150mm MRP Stage and it had a an offset 10mm less than fox/sram so it rode about the same with a 40mm stem as this does I feel. I feel like the tune on the V1 with the monarch was better than what this comes with from fox even though I feel like this shock is better across the board than the sram offering. I can see how some might say this is more park bike the way its set up from the factory, but this suits the way I ride. its pretty much out of the box what I felt like was the best bike ever but I had to go a custom route with the V1 to get this ride quality. It was a hard choice between this, the Smuggie, or the Sentinel, I also looked at an SB 5.5lr, Following, SB 4.5 and the Pivot mach 5.5 and went back to this even though its a damn tank. what it comes down to for me is what is the most fun. This bike suits my style, slope bike that thinks its a DH sled and likes to climb. If I was looking to win enduros, I would have gone carbon Sentinel or Trek Slash. As much as id love to go for that glory, I can't pass up the fun line on a trail, I want to pop and play and jiib everything in sight and this is the bike that allows me to express myself in all the ways.

Where did you get a Stage with a smaller offset? Are the uppers reversible or something?

Thanks! I have a first gen Scout my self and I'm having a tough time deciding whether or not to go for something that's a bit more capable in the ruff when the speed picks up with a bit more pedalfriendly linkage . I was secretly hoping that the new SBG scout would be both a bit more capable and more alert when stomping the pedals

I'm going to try a bit of shock tuning see where that takes me, all in all I really like my little scout

Great bike!

paint the fork lowers red , you’ll have prototype Rockshox....

Seriously... edited my post... lol

My original comment was that I didn't care for it. That's still my opinion.

It's certainly loud.

haha! I didn't even know I could but when I saw it was an option, I had to f*ck with ya)

also, there are many bikes I don't care for on this site, but like most adults, I don't even put forth the effort to express it because, WHY? to take someone down a peg? seems rude. Theres enough "bro" in this sport, and plenty of ego, so why not shift the paradigm away from the overwhelming amount of negativity in Mtn bike culture and bring about some positivity?

WOWOWOW ! rarely be THAT amazed by a bike !

Awesome!

Bike of the Day March 5, 2018!

You finally finish it. It looks great, happy ride !

Let me know how you did that crown

tape, greased lightning, sandpaper, a lot of elbow grease, polishing compound on polishing wheels.

looks amazeballs

amazeballs, dumbest word ever.

Fantabulous!

How long did it take? Did you put on a layer of clear coat after? Any plans to do the lowers too? How rare do you prefer your steak?

A long,rainy Portland afternoon. Definitely not doing the lower, and no clear, just polished.

O, and it depends on the cut of meat ?
