Its slightly on the large side for me, not had a good go on it as I’ve been so busy with work, home life, hoping to get out this weekend

picked up my new machine yesterday, a Transition Patrol 2017. Can't wait to hit the trails

Can't find it anywhere (unless I'm blind) but does the Voodoo Bizango have stealth holes for a dropper? Sure I saw a rubber plug at the read of the seat stem (I'm at work but just out of interest if anyone knew)

I’ve got a 18” 2017 Bizango and bought along with a Narrow Wide Chainring to convert it to a 1x a Brand X Dropper which arrived today, prepare yourself it’s flipping heavy!!!

Are there many ebikers on here? I’m picking up a specialized turbo levo tomorrow to go with my camber 29er

What drop did you get? I went for the Brand-X 150mm stealth, going to fit it to my Bizango (2018) this weekend think mine is a 20” frame

I got the Brand-X Ascend II 105-125-150mm

in other news, I’m getting my frame blasted and powder coated for a very reasonable £50, goodbye fluoro yellow

Was it simple to install?

I would absolutely love a new frame/bike but so much had changed mostly in wheel standards.
Seems 26" has disappeared.

not installed it yet, I’m going to take the frame to be powder coated next week then do all the modes and upgrades as I build it back up.
