Seb had a look at Banshee's new lineup. They're looking stiff and bright.

Looking forward to the review on the Rune and the Spitfire. Real, Vanguard machines there. Curious about the frame weights also.

great work Keith, and best of luck for the 2013 season :)

isn't the fanny pack an option for water carry as well?
Good Numbers on the Rune. It would be especially interesting for those out there who's brains are spinning due to the wheel size options available today, to test the Rune on both 650b and 26" wheels. With the exact same tires preferably. Hans Dampf?

I am hoping to get my hands on a Rune and eventually go to 650b…I think that would be a damn fun machine!

The KS link rune is looking super dialed. When will they be available to check out?

Please do a review of the Rune! Loving the day glow color. Banshee should run it.

With the bushings finally gone in favour of bearings - these bikes just made my list. I've been waiting. Good job.

I am excited to be on a KS-Link Spitfire in the next years and yes, I am opting for the 650B, too. Already ordered one and hope to receive it in November/Dezember. But regardless of that, I like to have a long term review of both Spitfire and Rune.

You Rune-d it for me. :-). Just kidding - I wish I had one. I own a Banshee Scratch, but only so I could say "I ride a Banshee".
