Josh's Transition Patrol

What happens when you take a Transition Patrol and throw the rulebook out the window? Well, our shop grom did just that. Josh went full park rat and slapped a Marzocchi Bomber 58 on the front and a Reverse Colab chain tensioner on the back, and topped it off with a bombproof Industry 9 wheelset. The result is a bike that climbs only when bribed, but points downhill with all the confidence of a full-on race rig. This one’s built for shuttles, chairlifts, and the kind of laps where you don’t bother pretending you’ll pedal home. Is this the spirit of freeride? I don’t know, you tell me.
