Hmmm, 2 troll accounts created from out of nowhere in the last couple days in order to try and cast doubt on this operation. Seems like some folks may need a refresher on conflict management and resolution. Whatsoever happened to the phone call or the face-to-face meeting?

Not sure about how I could be a troll? I simply asked a question.... Yes my account is new because I've never had a desire to patriciate in online forums. At some point your account was new as well.. does that mean your first post was you being a "troll".
For me, it's starting an account to toss gas on a topic that no one else has said anything about yet. You know something but you're...
For me, it's starting an account to toss gas on a topic that no one else has said anything about yet. You know something but you're afraid to come out and just say it. That smells fishy to any reasonable person.
In your initial post, you display the clear ability to spell, punctuate, and articulate a thought. But in your next post, you would appear to attempt to cover your tracks by failing to use an apostrophe to indicate possession. Next, you indicate you seemingly don't know the difference in usage of then/than and their/there/they're.
Sorry, I just don't buy it. Say what you want to say, or not. Stop beating around the bush, troll.
Ballr, like I have previously mentioned, yes my account is new because I have never had the desire to interact on a forum, and morons like you are the reason why! For some reason dipshits like you don't like what you read and decide it is irrelevant in your mind and instead of moving on you feel you have some sort of god given right to try to put people down to validate yourself. I do live in the PNW, so yes I do have a vested interest in the Transition team. I follow them at the local level and hope the best for them. I did hear a rumor at a local trail head and unfortunately for me I don't know anyone that works at Transition to ask, so I came on here, a public forum about "team rumors".
As far as my grammar goes, my first question or two was from my computer. The rest were done via my phone over voice text. I'll be sure to reach out to apple to make sure the next update does a better job at dictating my tone and demeaner for simple idiots like you to understand.

"my tone and demeaner for simple idiots like you to understand" This is my favorite part. Thanks for the morning chuckle.
It would seem no one here has any information to aid you on your quest for knowledge. Best wishes on your search moving forward.

They do offer Delano peak builds with the XX Transmission, Stans wheels, and that looks like a DHF front tire and Aggressor rear. I'd say a good guess on the Fezzari Delano peak.
Fezzari now "ARI" bikes new website.. Looks Like Kyle and Rachel to me. All but announced.
Fezzari now "ARI" bikes new website.. Looks Like Kyle and Rachel to me. All but announced.
Not sure why they didn't just completely rebrand but it is a better name. Fezzari always just sounded like a cheaper amazon brand name and they do seem to have proven themselves over the last few years. Ari still feels awkward but I'm also a long time, jaded bike industry person. Good on them, the new bikes look great.
Well, good luck Fezzari... er Ari. I cant imagine Kyle is exactly 'light' on his bikes. Wonder if they are going to work with him on a DH bike or just do the ole, chuck a boxxer on the front and see what happens.
That said my friend has one, and other then the fact that I thought it was italian at first it seems like a great bike. I don't know how a US brand has been able to fly so low under the radar for so long. Maybe Rachel and Kyle will do the trick.
Hah. So a lot of us were predicting Fezzari for Kyle and Rachel. They'd been spotted on the brand. Another poster who appeared in the know kept insisting, "They won't be on Fezzari." I see what he was doing, now. Well played, sir. Well played.
Official Continental GT press release - Danny Hart, Vero Widmann, Chris Cumming, Harry Molloy
This small family team was formed back in 2021 to support two young Irish riders Ronan Dunne and Chris Cumming break into World Cup Racing. Had it not been for the vision of Continental Tires and Nukeproof Bikes none of this would have been possible. After a standout season in 2023 as a fully-fledged UCI Elite Team, no one could have imagined the turmoil that would ensue for not just the team but the entire mountain bike industry.
During the winter of 2023, while the future of Nukeproof hung in the balance, we did not know if we were going racing in 2024. Then the news came on February 21st that our bike sponsorship had ended abruptly. The team ethos of being quick to react meant that we had already courted the team to several interested parties, but GT Bicycles was our preferred option with a World Cup winning platform and a great working relationship with Continental. With GT stepping in alongside Continental, we are extremely excited to announce that for 2024, the team is officially the Continental GT Racing Team!
It's been difficult keeping this out of the headlines but finally we can announce and welcome x2 World Champion Danny Hart! With over x19 World Cup podiums, Danny’s legendary status needs no introduction!
Being a continued member of the team, Italian National Champion, Vero brings a wealth of talent and experience with x6 World Cup podiums to her name. At the final World Cup of 2023 she left the season standing on the podium stage in 3rd place!
Chris is a core member of the team as one of Ireland’s hot, up and coming talents. Chris not only represents the young talent in the team but assists with team logistics and of course brings the personality everyone knows and loves. Leaving the ‘23 season with his first qualifying, he’s keener than ever to show what he can do!
Harry brings x16 World Cup seasons of experience and team management to the table. Prioritising support in and out the tape for the team, he’s still racing most of the World Cups and has a long history of events like Hardline.
We are also delighted to continue with our long term sponsors; Bluegrass with their world class protection, DT Swiss, Oakley, Peaty’s Products, ODI and Crankbrothers. We are also proud to present our new partners; Kenny Clothing, TRP and Renthal.
"We're thrilled that GT has come on board to partner with Continental and keep these super exciting athletes at the forefront of World Cup racing. We truly believe in these racers and what Mark and the team bring to the sport, we are so proud of what this team has already achieved and are stoked to be able to continue to partner together and keep the team racing ahead. The team is home to a combination of both up and coming talent and highly experienced voices, so we can’t wait to see them pushing their limits on the Gravity range and our prototype tires.” - Kelsey Rollet - Head of Global Bicycle Continental Tires
“It’s been a wild ride pulling this together in the last week, but GT is very proud to partner with Mark and the team. Last minute drives to get riders bikes to test, figuring out the logistics of getting frames to riders in three different countries are just some of the hurdles that we’re overcoming to make this happen, as we go racing within weeks, but it’s a great example of like-minded people coming together to make a little bit of magic happen.” - Clive Gosling - Head Of Marketing GT Bicycles
“Coming off the success of 2023 we never expected the turmoil that would engulf us as a team, it’s been a roller coaster! A gen- uine big thank you goes out to Continental Tires for their continued support and belief in the programme and a massive wel- come to GT Bicycles for stepping in at the very last minute as a frame sponsor. 2024 is looking prime with the addition of Kenny Clothing, TRP and Renthal. Everyone held fast as we worked through our plans to secure our 2024 race programme and I am indebted to all our sponsors who have remained with us. Everyone in Continental GT Racing, athletes, mechanics, and road crew are stoked to be associated with such iconic brands.” - Mark Cumming Owner/Manager

Kurtis Downs rides for ....Ari and he was on some sort of DH bike at Darkfest and when you look at his socials. If I recall correctly last year he'd ride a Tr11 as a DH bike but this looks like it could be some unreleased (Fezz)Ari DH bike.

Or the owner Nuke’d it when he realised he’d have to work with Danny’s dad! Mike Ashley doesn’t fool with just anyone.
That's funny. I've been told that his dad is a pain too & I'm not anywhere NEAR the circuit.
There's another rider whose dad is a pain & since my source has proven reliable about the daddy Hart info, I'll assume rider #2's dad is as well.
Crazy world we live in. Live halfway around the world and you can hear a chicken fart in Taipei if you ask.
Today I learned, Chris Cumming’s nickname is Cumdog. It’s a shame we aren’t in the Freecaster days, him and the Redcar Rocket being on the same team would have Warner pissing himself with innuendo.

Wait so Hart isn't on nukeproof?😂
That drum track is sooooo funky. #yachtrock
I thought Danny was definitely on Nukeproof
I didn't see any mention of Nigel Page in that press release, has he been left out in the cold?
Different team I think
Nigel was a part of the CRC Nukeproof//Nukeproof SRAM teams i thought ?
To my understanding Conti Nukeproof was run by Mark Cumming and is an entirely separate entity from the other Nukeproof teams.
Yes you're right. I had a brainfart and got the two mixed up.
I think there was a picture of him riding one, can anyone confirm this?
He probably nuke'd that idea when he heard who the new owner of the brand is.
Or the owner Nuke’d it when he realised he’d have to work with Danny’s dad! Mike Ashley doesn’t fool with just anyone.
