When selecting the 2011 Transition TR 450 as a test bike we debated a little bit about a full custom build versus the kit offered by Transition. We studied their build kit and liked pretty much everything about it. The only items that we would actually swap before them breaking would probably be the cranks mainly due to weight. The build kit on this bike is actually the 2010 kit not the 2011. We placed our order early and had to wait awhile before getting the bike. But the frame, shock and fork are all 2011 pieces. Looking at the geometry numbers of the TR we knew that it should feel at home going down steep trails and inspire confidence in the rider as well. We also like the idea of having a chip in the linkage to adjust HA, and BB heights. The bike went together well with no hang ups. It is a size large and weighed in at a hair over forty pounds. Once built the bike looked stunning. Just looking at the 2010 Pro GRT standings will attest to the TR's ability to win on the track with both Jill and Bryn winning the overall titles.
