Mountain Biking - From the guys at TBC - - something new for chelboed to lust after
Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
Well, the guys at Transition have a new one and it promises to be a new standard for PNW trail missiles. The Bandit:

I got excited there for a minute. I thought you wrote "TCBY".
I'm gonna have to say that on paper...I'm in favor of the Covert or BR. This little thing looks more like something B2B would straddle.
Yeah, on second look, the Covert would probably suit you more - - longer travel, cockpit a bit more compact, slacker HA. BR would be overkill until you move farther east or west ;).

Wait, isn't b2b on a Rune? Because a Rune kicks both Covert and BR asses.

Side note: I'd love to have a Rune too. I keep my eyes open on eBay for Prestons still. There's a little one on there right now...but it's too small for me.

2nd gen Prestons are nice - at least the second one they sent us was. The first had QC issues with the shock mount welds.

Don't let Ed pull you guys' legs, a cross bike can handle the riding he does!

That was like a kick in the nuts man...just a kick in the nutz.

Wouldn't you have been dissapointed by a lesser effort?
These little jabs are the only reason I come here.
