schalkmarais Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 Does anyone have some information on the status of Transition bikes in SA? I see the site is down for maintenance and not getting responses on emails or social media channels... Thermophage 1
DieselnDust Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 Their website has been "coming soon" for a while now. I suspect they, like others, cannot acquire stock to sell.

thebob Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 Looking for a specific type of bike? Some brands have some stock

Â As to the original question, Tranny SA have been battling with stock. Luke's usually pretty good at responding though, so maybe give him another shout. DieselnDust 1

The Ripcord is going to be too small at that point (1.5m is the max recommended height). At the rate he is growing, 1.5m in height will happen late this year... You ordering Banshees in March? Spitfire in Small looks a tad on the long & big side... Transition Scouts come in an XS. Not many brands have XS frames...Â
