Lookin good, but I dont like the mudgaurd. Did it end up being heavy?

 

[shenanigans]

not bad, the seat and mudgard are fugly but otherwise nice ride.

 

[dcrofty]

Did it end up being heavy?

I'm willing to suggest that it would be. banshee don't really do light.

 

[Sethius]

dont you need mud for them guardies thingos? and that normally means rain? whats rain again? i forget.. smoke anyone we've got some of that here, no rain though.. nice ride minus the guard but if you need it you need it.

 

[shred]

nice bike, how much was it for the frame?? but i must say the mudgaurd recks the bike

 

[OH64]

Haha go break some more chains ya kook.

Mudgaurd serves a good purpose though, wish I had one last time twas all muddy. Was the only in the group without and couldn't see shit.

 

[browneye33]

No it doesn't need rain, have you seen the amount of debri those maxxis minions pick up even just riding on the footpath???

Just look at the down tube of my mates Iron Horse Sunday (lime green of course), its completely silver, stripped from roost... now check mine out? scratch free.

The seat is going, I bought the frame with it, couldn't be arsed changin it, wanted to ride it to badly.

And its heavy, only slightly more than the Sunday, but a fair bit lighter than a Scott Nitrous... but it will never break and rides farkin awesome.

 

[OH64]

You wish it was only slightly heavier than my Sunday boy

 

[browneye33]

Its heavier, but not by THAT much dude...

I rekon wigga's Torrent is shit loads heavier that my banshee...which surprised the shit outta me.

 

[robbyloveday]

frekking hot love the guard i think its hot.....and i know what you mean about the scratches etc. Am in dire need of one, but will happen when the paycheck comes through.

 

[OH64]

i reackon about 4kgs in it chuummmmpp damn i'm bored. Yeah wigga's bikes made of old girders or some shit.

 

[avablast]

Farkin sweet bike you got there but i have a sneaking suspicion that mud guard is on backwards...

 

[browneye33]

i rekon u eat too many mushies wog boy....

[OH64]

How would you know we aint raced yet chump

It's actually 3kg's heavier

 

[roxy12]

I'm willing to suggest that it would be. banshee don't really do light.

havnt seen there xc frame shave ya, there pretty light!

 

[meatlovers]

that's an awesome bike!
dont really mind the look of the mud guard

 

[cavemann]

thats a sweet ride man, how does it ride with the 66's ?

 

[browneye33]

rides sweeet with them, perfect ammount of travel when you set the rear to 7 or 8 inch.

I recently been playing around with the adjustable wheel base, makes huge differences depending on how you want to ride...so 'streetable' and good for jumps on the shortest setting, and super stable on the long setting for fast DH...

This rig is now for sale...
see here, lots of parts been changed since i posted this... its now got no fender, an new E13 guide, new chain/cassette, new pads EBC's...blah blah.

 

[freeboy]

nice machine. im a fan of the screams. reds a good colour on them. pity bout the ugly fender though. 66's must be a dream on that thing.
