Hello again everyone!
So for my 100th video it was just obvious I’ll do a Bike Build! 🙌
I did come across this beautiful Transition Patrol Alloy frame at a bargain price and since I had mainly all the parts lying around in my inventory waiting to finish some other build as this one wasn’t planned at all to be honest, I decided to grab it and do a quick build up. This was my fastest ever build done, the whole thing took only an afternoon, building videoing, editing and uploading. Did a couple of mistakes in the hurry, some eagle eyed will definitely notice it 😅 but did rectified it after I finished the video editing.
Disclaimer: even tho it’s not showed, bike was finished with torque specifications from factory, carbon grip paste used for handlebar (the handlebar was mounted “dry” in the video. You should always use some grip paste if especially on handlebar. I was run out of that when video was shot)
Anyways, back to our video, I think this one turned out pretty sick. Haven’t had a Patrol before, well not an alloy recent model at least so pretty stoked on this one. Wanted a new gen Patrol since they launched it and to be able to build one is pretty amazing.
Will give it a few rides, hopefully by then all my other parts will turn up to finish the build I planned and the one I really look forward showing you guys and gals. Pretty sure this thing will rip up the local trail, that EXT goodies look wild and to be honest can wait to have a blast on it.
It will be a sad day when I will have to take it apart but at least till then I’llhave some fun on it.
