I am selling this on behalf of my Dad. For sale is his Banshee Scream. This is a genuine Banshee imported from Canada, therefore not to be mistaken for a Mythic, as they are branded in the UK! Dad is the second owner. The original owner did the importing. They rode it for approximately 2 years and dad has owned it since 2007. Although Dad and I are into our freeriding, this has by no means been used to its full potential. It has seen the odd trip to France, UK uplifts and local freeride trails including Chicksands Bike Park and Aston Hill.
The bike is in excellent working order. The cosmetic condition is not so great however what would you expect for a bike that is being used? It has had a recent new set of Race Face Atlas cranks with e*thirteen chain device and bash ring. The forks are serviced frequently. The rear DHX5 Fox shock has been TF Tuned. The bushings are also relatively new.
This also has the 3 position dropouts which fit 12mm through axle hubs with 150mm OLD spacing and the brake calipers adjust with the wheelbase. This means it can be adjusted from 6" to 8" rear travel and to suit your riding i.e. freeride, downhill.
The full specification includes:
* Banshee Scream in Medium (approx 16")
* Colour: Battle Grey
* Approx weight: 48lbs
* Marzocchi Shiver forks
* Fox DHX5 rear shock (TF Tuned)
* Chris King headset
* Easton Monkey bars
* Hope Mono 6 Ti brakes with braided hoses
* Race Face Atlas chain set
* e*thirteen SRS chain device and bash ring
* Hope hubs on Mavic 729 disc rims
* Maxxis Minion DH tyres
* SLX rear mech (9 speed)
* XTR 9 speed shifter
* Titec Knock telescopic seat post
Dad has decided to sell as he has reached the ripe old age of 50 and decided it's time to get a lighter bike which he has recently bought.
As mentioned the bike is in excellent condition and without doubt one of the ultimate huck bikes available!
