Thank you!
I think a Prime or Phantom (STAs aside) fits my personal riding style, but if you’re going to test one Banshee the Titan is the Shore bike (plus, all my parts moved over).
As I understand it Banshee was all-in on the frame-only review but Pete sets all that up so I’ll ask him if he has any feedback. It’s a bit of a PIA on the reviewers end but I think - and maybe my bias is showing - reviewing a frame with all your own parts is a good way to do it.
I’d certainly be interested in reading frame-only reviews from my favourite test writers.
And yeah, I feel it with the fitter riders on lighter bikes. Heavy build, relatively beefy frame, 155mm/170mm travel, steep STA, and dad-bod have me getting nowhere fast on this thing. Sure having fun though!
