Really, really pleased with this bike. If you're thinking Zesty, 5, Yeti ASR5 or something similar then you really ought to give it a try. Amazing frame quality and fabulous ride.

Glad I didn't wait for [url]thttp://singletrackworld.com/reviews/transition-bikes-bandit-review/[/url]!!

All that time I'd have wasted when instead I've been enjoying it!

good review for a lovely bike! loving the silver model (the black one too!)

hmm, nice bike. I've been looking at these. Did you go for frame only and build it yourself or is that one of the packages they offer? Any idea of full weight with the kit you have on it?

Might be a daft question, but being a XL frame why didn't you go for the Bandit 29'er?

You're obviously pretty tall judging by the amount of seat post showing etc
