Busy dad life, I’ve struggled to get out after work and when I do it’s never long. Black Friday caught my eye and I finally caved for a ebike. For 2500 bucks how could I not. (From a Canadian small bike shop, but not my LBS)

Huge shout out to @a.mart for getting me a smoking deal on a transition spire. For those of you who don’t know he is now a Transition dealer. Let him know if you are in the market for a new ride.
Also thanks to @Enduro_Performance for doing a wicked job on ride wrapping it and saving me a headache.

Found the right deal on a 2022 Sentinel frameset and decided to pull the trigger and swap everything over. Got it built up today after sourcing a couple key parts, a weekend rear wheel re-build in my living room, and a super-fast turnaround for fork service and 170mm air shaft install by @a.mart as always. Couple loose ends to tidy up and it should be trail ready by the weekend.

Finally caved and got a trail bike that is XXL. Broke it in with a weekend at WW and can beat XC bike lap times on my local trails.

Grape smuggler. Looks good.

It is just the alloy version, but was heavily discounted. Arguably the best riding bike I’ve owned, not in shape and taking 30-40 seconds off 3-4 minute segments of XC trail haha
