    Yeah but the more I read and talk to other riders seems to favor DW Link. I'm still riding horst link fsr from 2007. Before I upgrade to a new frame or bike I'll def wanna ride both. Mojo or Pivot (DW) vs Intense or Santa Cruz (VPP).

    Does anyone know if this will be a good starter bike? I test rode one today and it felt nice except the gear changes were kind of clunky. It would also make that same clunking every now and then just plain riding. Is this normal? The dude at the shop said he did a little tweaking while he rode it after me and that the cables may need to be tightened?

    A lot of that clunk is probably cable related. Usually, during assembly, you try and get a lot of that out but the cables will still stretch a bit when they're new.

    Overall, the bike is priced well (850-900). Looks like it will do the job for a beginner.

    Thanks man! That makes me feel better. I'm really considering it because they have it reduced to $744 because it's a leftover 2011 model. If he can get everything tightened up and try to get ride of most of that clunking and rough shifting I will probably spring for it.

    Another question, I know this is a beginner bike, but do you think it would hold up to some small jumps? Nothing big. Just some like 1-2 feet every now and then?

    I'm sure it will. Just keep an eye on the frame.

    Finally got some pictures and a ride in. What an awesome bike! Unfortutely after a few miles on the very first ride, I somehow gouged the sidewall of my UST Nevegal (Running at 35psi.. too) :confused: I've had that same tire on my other bike for over a year now with no issue, but maybe this new one was defective or something. In any case, thanks for checking it out

    Picked up a Transition Vagrant off CL today. I've been wanting one of these for years, but since they stopped making this frame years ago they've been hard to come by. Replaced the brakes today, cleaned up the frame and lubed everything. Seems to be in decent working condition, I'm gonna hit up the local park tomorrow and see how it rides.

    BTW, not exactly thrilled about the purple color, but I don't feel like stripping it down to bare frame so I'm gonna have learn to love it haha.
