Oct 11, 2023Banshee Prime
$550 USDBanshee Prime V1 frame, size XL (but closer to a Large from most other brands at this point in terms of reach and stack -- I'm 6', normally ride a Large frame). Long, slack and low geometry, 135mm rear travel via a Cane Creek Double Barrell. Internal dropper routing, currently set up nonboost spacing (142 x 12), but can be run boost with different dropouts from Banshee.
The usual scratches, but nothing serious, and all the bearings are good to go (main pivot replaced recently).
Super durable, fun frame that punches well above its travel!
Partial or full build options are available.

Oct 7, 2023Banshee Prime fits like a Large
$1600 USDBanshee Prime frame (V1), technically sized extra large but fits more like a Large in terms of reach and standover (I'm 6' and normally ride a large frame). Burly trail bike (135mm travel via mini-link design) with very modern geometry -- long, slack and low for excellent cornering.
Nice build: Cane Creek Double Barrell air shock, MRP Ribbon fork (currently set to 140mm, but can be changed to 150 or 160 by moving a few internal spacers). Sram GX Eagle drivetrain (1 x 12), plus nearly new Shimano SLX cranks. Brakes are shimano SLX with XT rotors. One Up 150mm dropper post with sweet Wolftooth lever (the best!), Fizik saddle. Wheels are burly Ibis alloy, a reliable balance of strong and light. Continental argotal 2.6 front tire, Kryptotal 2.4 rear -- my current favorite tire combo, already set up tubeless and with no punctures.
Extremely fun, capable bike for not much money. Banshee bikes have a deservedly great reputation. I built this up for my younger daughter and I to ride together (using a Kids Ride Shotgun setup), but now she's grown enough to be on her own bike, and it's time to pass this one on to someone who will enjoy it.
This is definitely a used bike (some scratches, but no dents), but everything works well and it's ready for many miles of trail!
Can ship at buyer's expense.

May 21, 2023Guerrilla Gravity Pistola
$600 USD2017 Guerilla Gravity Pistola frame (the longer travel version of the Trail Pistol). Size is Large for 2017, most similar to what GG now calls S3. Rear travel is 130mm (which you can shorten to 120mm by running a 210 x 50mm shock instead of a 210 x 55). 29" wheels, boost spacing. Fox DPS shock and FSA headset included. Handmade in Denver, Colorado!
This frame is used, with the usual scratches and dust. That said, the raw aluminum finish will buff smooth and shiny if that's your thing. Main pivot bearings are freshly replaced.
Super capable American made mid travel rig for not much money! Shipping Available through bikeflights.com
*this was listed previously, but the cost of shipping to Canada means it's available again*
