I have no idea what's going on here.
Transition make some great frames, but by god they messed with the colours too much this year. Will be great to ride no doubt though!
You think? I quite like it.. Infact I have blue hubs on my wheelset
The photos aren't great and it does look better in the flesh (aluminium)
But I will agree last years colours were better and I prefer the colours on the carbon coverts more
Can't make my mind up on the blue hardware - need to see how it's built up. But - your bike, your rules

Thanks,
The photo does over enhance the gloss effect on the frame and bolts as well
When it's built up the bolts won't be a very big part of it so I think/hope they will look more discrete
Hell, it's how it rides that counts - and I'm sure it'll be sweet.
What you building her up with?

They do go - the green and blue are analogous colours on the colour wheel and complement each other perfectly, and black goes with anything. Your degree's obviously not in art or design
OP - love the colourscheme, candy green with blue accents (or vice versa) always looks great. I wouldn't use any blue screws/bolts (delete as according to your side of the screws/bolts argument) though - coloured fatsners belong in the 1990s.
Don't worry, no blue screws
Blue hubs and blue pedals are the only other ano blue items so it should look tasteful rather than too much
I'll get a spec list up later today
Just a little too much going on imo, but then it's not my bike and you won't notice when riding and it's covered in mud!
Good spec - money spent in the right places. When you going to get some finished pics up?

That's a different argument altogether though. The colours definitely do go together, but it is a bit on the busy side - personally I'd prefer the rear triangle to be green like the main frame.
I love the frame but agree it should all be green as it gives the impression it has had a replacement rear triangle.
Niner MCR sold
Cotic Soul duck egg blue sold and regretted
Canyon nerve xc custom sold
Orange G2 sold
Just waiting on the forks, when they're in stock and they've arrived from Germany I'll get cracking on the build

I understand what you mean and I'll prefer a solid colour, but I think with a black pike up front it will look matching

Aye, that'll balance it out nicely.
I have had my Covert 27.5 in Safety Orange since before Xmas, but have been waiting for the Pikes to come back in stock! They arrived last week so the build is on! Similar spec ! All XT, Flow EX Hope hoops, pikes!
I think the Orange looks great too
But the Green edged it for me
Should be a very similar build to mine, I've ordered some dual position pikes
Ive gone single position forks.
Going to Run 203mm rotors front and back.
Moving house this month has dented my bike fund but it should be complete by mid feb hopefully. in time for a run at Bike Park Wales
But that's a good thing in my opinion
I've gone 203 front and 180 rear just to give me some modulation to avoid locking the rear and shredding the tyres
I'm hoping to have this build by the start of Feb, literally just waiting on the forks
Where in the UK are you?
my pikes arrived last week in the UK, where are you getting yours from?
I'm based in Shropshire
I ordered them from Hibike, got my tyres from them and I was very impressed and they had the Dual Position in black at £540!
