Anyone planning on getting a Transition Rapture?

Looks great and I’m very tempted, but it’s a tough call when you can get a carbon cx frame from China for the same price (or less). Like the adjustable drop outs though.

Why would you rather have a carbon cx frame from china?

circa 3lb weight difference may be significant to some.

Cant work out whether he’s serious or not…

3lb?! Haha

Just If someone is interested in a heavy steel singlespeed cross bike with mtb bars and a pro mo vid of skids and drinking beer then they probably don’t want a carbon frame from china.

Don’t think I’d want either, because they most likely both have discs.

i am if my LBS can get me one

Yeah, but …

It’ll be a Transition/Traitor or one of the next generation of Singular Kite’s, as they’ll have disc mounts. If the Kite has some kinda SS adjustment (and will be around soon’ish), I’ll hang on and go with the Kite.

3lbs heavier than carbon?
the brake cable on a kite weighs that alone!

the flexibility of the dropouts, steel (not light but it should last) and runs discs are the pluses for me

Don’t know how it stacks up performance wise but I have to say it looks the nuts!

Drool.

^^^^ whats that Singular? the new Kite? availability?

^+1

any news on UK availability?

Sam said on his FB that it was 6 months away which is a damm shame coz that ticks a few boxes for me .

That Singular up there looks lovely.

A proper frame V a Chinese plastic “thing” = no contest.
