Pinkbike Poll: What's Your Ideal Two Bike Quiver?
@cool3: 56 years old and been riding almost 40 years. My Banshee Paradox is pretty much my favorite bike to ride in the BC Rockies! Super comfy for a hardtail.

10 Small Canadian Manufacturers Making Rad Things
Banshee was never manufactured in Canada, always Taiwan. Original designer was Canadian, currently run by a Canadian (living in Taiwan) and co-designed with a Scot.

Canfield Bikes Announces Third Generation Yelli Screamy Aluminum Hardtail
@Bushmaster123: Yep, I am aware. You said "aluminum hardtails are too unforgiving except on the smoothest trails", which is a blanket statement, to which I pointed out an example that is an exception that you confirmed.
BTW, extensively ridden several Canfields, Nimble 9's of 3 generations, Riot's, Jedi's etc. I've been riding bikes of all materials for over 45 years myself, as well as selling, repairing and even manufacturing them.

Canfield Bikes Announces Third Generation Yelli Screamy Aluminum Hardtail
Not true, depends on the design. Banshee Paradox is more forgiving than most steel hardtails. I've owned several steel hardtails before I got my Paradox, and it is by far the most comfortable. Hopefully Canfield has done the same here...
