One thing I’ve wondered about is the pivot chainline on the 1003, and how much running a bigger chainring would influence this.

I think an Ochain on this baby would be pure awesomesauce on rock gardens.   8) 8)

That is a sick looking bike and the parts seem like it was built with bad intentions in mind.  8)

Congrats on the build! ;)

Given that the original Enduro has had multiple reports of cracking frames, I think it will be a bit difficult to build a similar design without getting into some speed bumps.

Has anyone tried a coil on this frame? 

To those who've already built one with an air shock, would you say the shock feels progressive or linear?

I don't think flybike Asia does one offs for people. Unless you know another vendor who picked it up?

That's a shame.  Maybe a group buy is in order? 

So far, geo-wise, I think this frame is right up there with the most recent releases from the more marquee brands.  If this has a good price, this could well be the best buy out there for an enduro bike.

Just looking at the numbers it really looks like this is a true brawler of a bike. I've sent an email inquiring on price and delivery. I really hope they reply.

I think this is definitely the frame for me.

Question for those who already have this frame: is the geo chart on page 1 accurate?

29er / What frame is this?

Looks like a Tantan front triangle but with a VPP rear. Any ideas?

The transition appears to be a little slacker HTA. Although 551mm Axle to Crown seems pretty small. A 160Lyric is 571mm. So a 160 fork would slacken HTA.

551 mm is, if I recall correctly, the A2C measurement for a 160mm 27.5 Rockshox fork.  That being said, a 160mm 29" fork would slacken it by half a degree, in a mullet setup, you slacken it up by 3/4 of a degree, at least.

I posted geo calculations on page 19 of this thread for:
  • Upforking to 160mm
  • Upforking to 160mm and using a 27.5" rear wheel but still use a 29" front wheel (a.k.a "Mullet")

Here's the closest I could find for a geo comparo:


I'm a bit surprised it doesn't follow metric sizing (Alibaba chart shows 153mm, aka 6inches, of travel). No idea what the head angle could be, but I hope it's below 65 degrees.

Pasted the above images from the Alibaba link.

Pasting the 2018 Transition Sentinal geo below for comparison:
