I finally got over me fear of gaps. Jumped over a creek yesterday! Then I realized my fear of gaps was irrational. Easier than I expected.

so my bike has treated me well, but its time to move on to the next frame. Split between the Banshee Rune and Canfield Balance. Demo'd a XL rune and loved it, the balance i have never tried. theres also the Dartmoor Blackbird which i dig.

Biiiiig problem with both Banshee and Canfield. Beware if you buy used. They both crack. Not a question of IF, but WHEN. Warranty also leaves something to be desired. First hand experience with banshee, read about Canfield. Both bikes ride amazing though.

Thungy you got to stop changing shit and just ride man. I know I’m one to talk but your changing shit every other day lol

Anyways. Banshees are junk. I cracked my dark side in less than 1 season. Really poor quality frames. Canfield doesn’t make bikes anymore so I wouldn’t suggest that.

I gushed about my optic enough, but the Horst link suspension is basically the best money can buy IMO. Check out the bike between the range and optic, Can’t remember the name.

Buy an old Intense whatever.
They're decent bikes, and were far ahead for their time.

Wait, How did you crack your frame again? I got a used spitfire because it was all I could afford. I knew about about the issues but should I be scared of it cracking?

I had a spitfire for about 6 months and could already see what looked like stress cracks forming. I was going to send it in when it ended up being run over in a parking lot. I think that was the best thing to happen now.....
