My Transition Preston

[Duzitall]

About 37 lbs as pictured. Frame is very stiff and the geometry is spot-on. Gravity Dropper is a way cool addition. My old Z150 is now mounted on it's 3rd frame and has provided a great ride and reliability but with a heavy weight penalty, soon to be replaced with 66. I'm a tad heavy at 185 lbs for the Swinger Air. Pretty sure I will need the Romic because I torture the air shock pretty badly, we'll see.

Kevin at Transition, will@fanatikbike.com and Wayne at Gravity Dropper are all 1st class businessmen and provided me instant service. Thanks guys!

You live in San Diego and you bought it from Fanatik (unlesss that is a different one, not in Bellingham...). Good bike though, I see a ton of them around here.

Great bike, I am thinking about getting one of those to replace my hardtail. My hardtail days are just about over.

man i have the same frame. i'm running the new rockshox mc3.1 and so far it seems like a very good match for the bike. i only have to run 130 psi for 25% sag and i weight in at a hefty 250 lbs. other than that my biuld is simular in intentions of riding

i will post pics later

[Sir_Crackien]

oh and to smedford this frame is just about the perfect frame for people like you and i how actually like riding fr hardtail but don't like the pain that can result later. the one thing i will say is that chain stays are a tad on the long side but that really doesn't seem to be slowing down the preston

Yup, Kevin at Transition told me Fanatik was the only dealer he knew that had a large mustard frame in stock. The frame was at my door on the 3rd day after I ordered it. Although Will (like all Transtion dealers) could not discount the price of the frame, he shipped it for free and tossed in an expensive freebie that I needed anyway. Plus no sales tax for out of state purchase. I have since bought other stuff from Fanatik. Fast shipping and fair prices. I'll be buying a Gran Mal from Will to replace my v-10 I think real soon.

After work: usually Marion Baer park or sometimes Tecolote because they are close to my house. Weekends: Noble or Corral Canyon, Jamul, TWP, Big Bear, Fontana, anywhere-everywhere.

We live in a mecca of mountain bike terrain choices.
