"Cross-country bike". What does that even mean anyway? I mean, this is a cross-country bike, sort of, but two minutes test riding this thing and it's immediately apparent that it’s ready to get rowdy. Fun geometry combined with 120mm travel front and rear means that you’ll tire long before this @Transition Spur wants to head to back to it’s stall.

Transition makes some really rad bikes, mostly for my gravity-fed disciplines, but the Spur is their uppy-downy bike, but like, an uppy-downy bike made by people who like to fool around. Ride this thing up whatever crazy climb you can dream up and back down. For in the Netherlands, Ardennes, or even German bikeparks, the Spur is good to go.

This rig is kitted to the gills. @srammtb XX1 Eagle AXS, including dropper post controlled by your TV remote, probably. @Ingrid takes care of the rest of the drivetrain with their truly stunning POP crankset and 10-48t cassette-that-is-actually-just-art. Throw into the mix a cockpit by @Beast Components and their 30mm wide boxy-boy tire holders... and I'm starting to sweat behind the knees... Wondering why we went for an enduro rim instead of a 30mm trail rim? Yeah, this bike is that rowdy.

Seriously, what a pleasure it is to get to build a rig like this. And I'm not only proud of the work here, but also being able to finish a project like this, it takes a ton of trust from the client, and crazy amounts of diggin’ around to find these parts. In the current state of affairs, finding components is basically witchcraft, and building a bike like this, magic.
