Am on a 2014 v2 Rune frame I picked up very cheap in lockdown and love it, geo way ahead of its time and comparable to 8 year newer designs. Best £250 I ever spent! Banshee have been ahead of the curve for over 10 years. As well as ripping on steep DH or tech, it pedals really well for a 160mm bike. I'll be happy to buy another Banshee new when I feel the need to change, if ever... I emailed a question about coil vs Air shock to them for my second hand frame purchase and had a detailed reply the next day from Keith who designs them. I got a hardware kit sent out from them to support boost upgrade for a 9 year old frame within a few days at a decent price. That's great customer service, and the bikes are too. Well recommended.

@kjjohnson: underrated comment

@plyawn: use flame

I once swapped a table for a Nissan Micra. It even had half a tank of petrol.

Except the stolen ones of course

Every bike I've ever owned had a serial number

@tttyyler: the legend isn't motor assisted mate

@mickstwin: it's not just the weight causing the problems though is it, the gen4 Bosch CX motor puts out the same peak torque as a 2004 Volkswagen Lupo.

@Malachai20: I've been riding for 25 years and I'm still scared when I'm pushing my boundaries. Learning new skills and attempting tougher features was the whole point of the excersise, they aren't gonna get better on a bike repeating the same comfy trails. They clearly applied the teaching on offer and all got perceptibly better positioned and more capable over the course of the video. If you have to be 100% sure to drop in, then you're either riding the same old trails everytime or have so much confidence it'll bite you in the ass hard one day. I totally agree that it's subjective and the mark of a good coach is to correctly assess whether a rider is ready for a certain challenge, but it didn't seem to me that anyone here was so far outside their comfort zone it was reckless, especially considering they were clearly prepared to listen to the advice given by someone like Remy who rides a bike better than 99.99% of us and wanted to challenge themselves.

Seconded, that's my new headlight helmet sorted, thanks :^)
