Can someone help me identify this bike frame? I just scored this bike out of a storage unit auction. I've seen very similar frames like it before. I own a Transition Sentinel myself and my guess is that this is a Transition Scout but it has a few differences in the suspension and other subtle differences through out.Can someone help me?? The storage was kinda shady and full of alot of questionable items but totally worth the $100. This was just 1 of a few bikes from this unit. The frame is sanded down and any trace or brand names or serial numbers are grinded or sanded away. If I could get it back to the owner I would but I've spent days now trying to identify this bike accurately.
It's a GX build most likely. A TRANSITION Bike. ROCKSHOX suspension AND shocks. SRAM components. A GIANT saddle. The frame definitely looks like a Scout but the year is very important. I've compared it to all the years from 2015 to 2020 and still no exact matches. Any Transition experts or someone with a better theory or guess?
I can't comment but I would if I could. Bike thieves have a tendency to sand frames down. The fact that you live in Seattle, a city with many bike thefts coupled with  the fact you got a multi thousand dollar bike for $100 points towards it being stolen. You should check local classifieds for people looking for their bike.
