After pedalling a 21+kg Banshee Scream FR machine around for a while, and getting right into riding pushy's down hills rapidly, I felt the need to upgrade to a DH specific rig instead of spending money trying to turn the Banshee into one. So after a quick visit to my friendly LBS - www.tbsm.com.au - I came away with a 2008 Norco Team DH! :cool:

Thanks Farkers,

Hungie your only chance is if you cut out your 3 picnic stops per run :p

Wasn't me up at Coffs as I just got the bike yesterday but I heard there was a quick Team DH getting along up there. Stoner is your classic spinal injury dude with a full neck to gut brace but at least he's back at work. Apparantely the hospital staff said they have never seen anybody walk in with the injuries he had and many are paralysed or dead.

Yep, Chris King stock.

Thanks guys, the only bad thing is I can't ride it for a while due to a motorbike accident :mad:

Flippa they're $4,799 at www.tbsm.com.au and they've been reduced from $5,999.

I felt I had to share my joy with the community!

Unfortunately I don't know how it rides yet ozztrailia as I've got Doc's orders to stay off it after I collided with a car on my motorbike. Compared to the Banshee though I'm sure it should chuck a good skid.

Thanks for the comments everyone,

I was going to get some red Hope bike bling but have decided against it now otherwise it'll start looking like aday's beast!

I've got some carbon goodies on the way instead :cool:
