Hey Dean you have it in 7"
Is that how you're going to ride it?
I can't remember if i sent you 2 coils for each travel setting.

I do private bike camps as well but they are for ladies only and usually involve a sleepover.

Terrorfirma - I was sent 1 spring. I built the bike up in that setting but will be running it in the 8.5 settling. The bike was well worth the wait. It looks simply awesome and pedals really well. I can't wait for this damn snow to melt.

Spaz- I am praying for rain. Rain, rain and more rain……then sun ;)

As she sits now, you are off by 1.4lbs……………….37lbs even as pictured
I'm not going to try to make this as light as it can be, but rather one that works the best for me.

The bike feels solid and offers gobs of stand over when compared to most other DH bikes with 8.5" of travel.

I will keep everyone posted on the Legend and how it rides.

How come everyone is getting their Banshees now and I gotta wait until March :( (not that I'm missing much riding at the mo)

Please let me demonstrate the ride around; really it's no trouble.

I can see no alternative other than to touch myself…

Never thought I'd say this about a Banshee: That is a great-looking bike. Even though the design looks like a composite of at least 4 other well-known designs it still looks really good. I'm suitably impressed. Their fabrication quality has come a long way!

There's nothing better than an Orangina after cheating death with Digger.

I think the Runes are arriving a little later, but maybe your shop booked theirs later? We're getting Scythe, Wildcard and I think Amp frames, but I don't think the Rune is coming just yet. I believe Keith from Banshee added cable guides for an adjustable seat post to the design just recently, so it's probably on the next shipment.

I get the feeling I scooped one of the last 2008 Runes that Trident had.

Check my stuff for sale!
