Post your wicked BANSHEE thread....

Nice.... Has it arrived?

JTMofo, meet aus post. Aus post, JTMofo... :rant:

Picked up a cheap set of truvativ noir cranks with red trim to try on them. Said I'd never go back to regular bolt on chain rings, but will try them out. :behindsofa:
Going to give the patriot a rest and use it's parts. Just remembered it's got my shiny Thomson 27.2 dropper on it. It's too good to not use, so I think I'll shim it and run on big red :woot:

Ah man it'll be an awesome rig. I'll guarantee that it rides bigger than its 140mm travel. The CCDB is sooo plush!

Red is the fastest too.......

Fine. I'll get one to shut you up.
Here it is, got it,but a few changes planned.

Moorey, also try riding it in the low/slack and neutral dropout positions, if it does indeed come as pictured set up in the high/steep position. It may be more fun.

He's vegan, they're allergic to fun.

Although it may mean the monies set aside for a step ladder can be spent on more shiny things.........or a shorter step ladder.

I rode it in the slackest setting while on 26" wheels, changed it up to steep when I went 650b.

Slack makes a huge difference...... But could have been the 26" placebo effect.

Cheers. Will be, particularly coz I'm going to start out with a 140mm rct3 rev. Have a 150mm rlt rev I could swap over, and may even try the 27.5" pikes off the AM bike. Spoilt for choice :woot:

 

[stoo]

Yep, new toys.
I should have it built up to ride on Sunday!

Dead to me out:
Your orange looks reder than my red. We should swap.

Ooh, isn't that cute, you'll match.

Very very nice Moorey.

I'll have to get my black Banshee up on this thread. Initially was looking at a Santa Cruz or an Intense but they were too pricey. Extremely delighted with my Rune. Such awesome rigs.

I can confirm as being the original owner of this frame, that they only come across as being orangey in photos taken by amateurs such as myself. In the flesh they're a much more vibrant red.

 

[stoo]

Yeah! The last of the parts ( forks aside ) arrived today so It's all together enough to ride.
I swiped the Pikes from the heckler, they'll go back home when the 55CRs are back from NSD...
Parts are mostly XT, Straitline stem, Deity Skyscrapers, hope headset, 780/20mm Fatbars, 2.4 Schwable HDs, 150mm Lev TI etc...
From a quick roll back from the shed it seems like a good jigger, shorter in the rear than the Heckler which is ace, suspension feel is chalk and cheese, it'll take some getting used to.
