Just a thought, anyone know what a Banshee Phantom 29 (1 year old) would be worth here? Good condition, RS Monarch Debonair, 105mm @ the back and recommended 120 up front, 67.5 head angle. 

 

Just a gestimate...

Savage's "old" one?

Let's just say the frame has been retired to a life of slower trail riding and long rolling hills...........:P

Just waiting to resolve the final bits and bobs ... might just well do a dedicated thread for her. Nothing overly flashing, but more robust and reliable planned.

Whats the price on Frames? +/_?? I am looking at the Prime with DB shock...2016 model just looks spils!!

where in SA are you located ... I got lucky with mine being a second hand purchase.

 

If you are in CT, give Andrew a call at STOKE suspension ... they do Banshee and ride the bikes themselves, so they will give excellent support and have an intimate knowledge of the bikes.

There are no Prime models in the country when I spoke to Phia about a month ago when my mate was looking for one so his other option was the Transition Smuggler.

So my Pyga OneTwenty front triangle got replaced under warranty for a cosmetic paint problem.


New bearings etc as well, so I essentially had a new frame...


Fortuitously....The Banshee's are on sale at the moment...So this Happened! 


The Pyga with new bearings and front triangle will be going up for sale soon here  ;) The new triangle is a beautiful colour as well.


 


Looking forward to taking this out for a spin later...rode on at their demo day for a good couple km...and was sold instantly...just had to wait for the right opportunity.


Unfortunately the old colour scheme on the bike was green and I figured the green would clash with the red...It does, but it's kinda growing on me  :D


W2W s going to be epic on this with me flat pedals  :P
