Heck yeah, that should be a super fun "little" rig. Personally I like the colour, but I had a 5010 in a very similar hue so I might be biased!

Awesome rig! I was tossing up between the Scout and Smuggler when I was looking in 2018. If i was to buy a Tranny now it would be a Scout I reckon.

Nice one, looks super sharp.

Funny how small 27.5 wheels look these days. I like the almost oxidised sort of red colour, bike looks great!

Sick!
Transitions are probably in my top 3 favourite looking bikes. The lines just work.

Agreed. I like the aluminium lines a tiny bit more than the carbon though...

I like the colour too. I don’t mind the way 27.5 wheels look when matched as a pair. When MX style they look wonky AF.

This is always a conundrum for me. I love how mullet bikes ride, but the mismatched look pains me.

Wasn't a criticism! Just took me a moment when I looked at the first pic and felt like something was proportionally off..

I'll just leave this here...

If Liontown shares sky-rocket, I might just be up for that!

Totally get you! It’s like when a new model of car comes out that you liked the look of. At first you can’t stand it. Then you don’t notice it. Then after a while the old model starts to look wrong.
I got a new rim for my GG a little while back. When I open the package it looked like a kids bike rim.

Agreed. I like the aluminium lines a tiny bit more than the carbon though...

The raw Alloy spire is still to my eyes the best looking Tranny.

This thing looks hot @dancaseyimages !

Yeah I've been thinking about that, but I don't need 2 of the same bike...such a good frame.

Soooo nice. If I hadn't had my Deviate, I more than likely be riding last year's blue Scout carbon frame. The frame angles on Transition bikes is just right.
