Ijust placed an order with Transition Bikes out of seattle. I have been looking for a good DC fork for my dh bike to replace my jrT. I am pretty cheap and looked all over for the best deal. This was easily it. I ended up getting a Manitou Slider SPV +. I have been wanting to seriously test something besides marzocchi for a while (I have done test rides but something more long term) and this was my chance.
NORMAL
Fork alone costs (This is for the 04 not the 05 I am getting) - 800$
TRANSITION
Frame and Fork cost - 899$ american
Thats basically this frame free

And a new version of this fork cheap

Don't know what to do with the frame yet. I have been wanting a dj/street bike for a while. I will have to figure that out when it gets here.
Will post pics of the real product when it gets here. About a month or so for the fork to get to the shop, but I think it will be worth the wait.
