May 1, 2018Banshee Spitfire (Large)
$1200 USDI've got a 2012 Banshee Spitfire in good condition up for sale. This would be a great bike for someone learning to mountain bike, or somebody looking to upgrade from a hardtail. I bought the frame new in 2013, as a closeout deal from the year previous, and built it up with custom parts over the course of that year. It's been my trusty steed, and has safely transported me down trails I had no business being on. It's an excellent climber, and an absolute blast on the downhill. Banshee was ahead of their time with this bike, before "Enduro" really took off, they set out to build a cross country bike that their downhill riders would be stoked to ride and train on, and at that they had remarkable success. This link from Pinkbike does a better job than I at explaining exactly what the Spitfire is;https://www.pinkbike.com/product/banshee/Spitfire/
I had both shocks rebuilt a couple months ago, and have not ridden much since then (I have receipts for em). The bearings are good for now, but in my experience you should replace them every year or two, depending on how much you ride. A pivot kit can be ordered from fanatik for $60, and it's something an amateur mechanic should be able to do at home. Front tire is only about half a season old, rear tire is a Schwalbe Hans Dampf, brand new!. Couple scratches and scuffs on the frame, but nothing structural.
Parts include;
Deity black label bars
Avid Elixir XO brakes
Rock Shox Lyrik (Recently rebuilt)
Mavic Crossline front wheel (Hub recently rebuilt)
Sunringle Equalizer rear wheel
Fox RP23 rear shock with 3 stage propedal
RaceFace Atlas cranks, with narrow wide chainring
Sram X7 derailleur (Brand new!), with X0 shifter
Shoot me an email and I'll give you my number and we can talk! Would be ok with going for a test ride at Galby, or maybe shuttling a lap in the Chuckanuts. Thanks for looking!
P.S. I'm willing to talk about shipping, but would rather do a deal locally.

Shimano SLX disc brake
RaceFace Atlas bars
Deity stem
FOX F-120 fork lowered to 100mm
Spank tweet tweet wheels
Transition Revolution hubs

Dec 23, 2015Commencal Supreme DH short
$1000 USDCommencal Supreme DH frame in good condition. Average amount of aesthetic wear, but mechanically the bike is in great condition. Raced Downhill in the MSC series from 2011 to 2013, and since then it's only been used a hand full of times. Incredibly fun bike to ride; very responsive and playful with lots of adjustments built into the frame, such as chain stay length and head tube angle, allowing you to fine tune it to your riding style. I don't ride much more than trails these days, time to pass it on to somehow who's gonna use it properly. Give me a call or send me a message if you're interested!
Components:
Transition revolution 32 wheelset
Rockshox Boxxer team fork
Deity Dirty 30 Bars
Avid Elixir brakes
Sram X-9 shifter
Sram X-7 Derailleur
SDG seat
Truvative Descendant cranks
SMAC pedals

Fox Prototype Inverted DH fork - World Exclusive
Never been a fan of inverted forks... I guess they just look ugly
