Damn. That's sweet to spend that much time on the same bike. Still looks like a ripper.
Thanks, it was actually my first time here (Twin Lakes, CO). I had just hiked up Mt. Elbert (14,439ft) and then ridden back down. Still awesome to have access to a place like this though. And she does indeed still rip.
Some potato pics of my new ride...hasn’t arrived yet via bikeflights so these are the pics from the previous owner. Knolly warden size L Fox factory 36 180mm Cane creek coil 160 Hope 4 piston brakes Cushcore front and rear I9 hubs and spank wheels
And yes it has a dropper post -eye roll-
Few things I plan on changing. The bars, pedals, and orange brake lines. I ordered some Michelin DH22 tires.
140mm Z1 on now from a 160mm 36. Riser bar to compensate for front end height turned the bike into a little ripper slalom 29er bike
rune or titan? i’m debating selling my hd5 for one of these new banshees, or just buying a new phantom altogether. the chainstay length on these frames is super enticing.
