I broke a v1 rune and the warranty replacement arrived with an issue from the factory. Banshee were in the process of redesigning those frames so Keith put me in the cue for a v2 spitfire. But by the time it arrived I’d been bitten by the 29er bug and sold it to buy a used pre-production prime. That frame might have weighed 10 pounds but I loved the way it rode. After reviewing the carbon stumpjumper evo 29, a bike designed 3 years later with virtually the same geometry as the OG prime, I sold it to build something lighter - I don’t even remember what - in hopes of making up for my poor fitness. I’m sure it would feel wicked short and outdated by modern geometry standards but there’s a not-that-small part of me that wishes I’d never thrown a leg over anything newer and was still riding it in blissful ignorance.
