But to some it comes naturally. 😆 I've been busy swapping bits on my Banshee over the last few months and to me it is my perfect bike now. But what do you think? Sh!te or alright?
New saddle, new lock on reloads, the rubbish Fox seals replaced with Enduros, the RP-23 replaced with a Roco TST R off the classified and 600lb Ti spring, Dark Cycles Arachnid pedals with the Ti axles from my MG-1s and finally my first proper full wheel build, Sun Ringle EQ31 rims laced to Hadley bolt-thru hubs with Sapim Strong spokes, they weigh in at 1200g and 1050g which I'm pretty pleased with as the hubs aren't the lightest.

Nice bike. I like the rims especially.
We can still see those weeds in the middle of the patio though you know.
Wow! Very nice. The Banshee decals look so much better than the UK specific Mythic branded ones too.
Your cats look like they might need a bit of a diet.
I like the pedals
Are you copying this guy who did the same thing with his wheels?
nice rims!
Sorry, great execution but doesn't do it for me - too many highlight colours - gold, red and blue, plus the black and silver of the frame and forks
Cheers guys.
Thats Billie sat in the flower pot, she's a little porker and completely mental, she's only about 18 months old and bosses all the cats we've had for years already, Timmy or "the wookie" isn't fat but he is very fleecy.
Zaskar I don't get you? But some kind of death spike would be nice. 😆
The rims are extra naff, but i really like them..!
Oh, and weeds, patio, pointing, cats, etc.
😀
Should've gone for the pink camo rims -- a real man's colour
Looks nice though, and with a sensible ammount of gears.
Capt I know what you're saying but the same colours kept popping up on most of the components, I could lose the gold I guess but otherwise not much I can do.
Fair point. My suggestion would be lose the gold pedals and get some red ones to match the shock and other bits.
Aside from being a pedant on the pimping, I do like the quality look of the whole thing
And I made sure there were plenty of weeds and the dirty patio in view to give the people with no lives something to do..... 😆
Hmmm someone help me see sense...
With my Banshee set up as it is, it has made my Bullit pretty much redundant. The only thing it excells at now is hucking and it's just too close to the Banshee I think to justify keeping considering how little I use it. It's the old head says yes, heart says no thing. I even advertised the Bullit but when I had a few serious buyers I chickened out and thought I'd give the bike another chance. 😐
Anyway I've just bought a BFe frame to replace my jump bike I've just sold and now I'm really confuzzled, If I keep the Bullit the sensible thing to do would be to build up the BFe pretty light, I've already got some 32 Talas 150 QR15s to go on, but if I sell the Bullit would I be better off building up the BFe more burly? I can't hep thinking some Totem solo airs lowered to 150-160mm would rock on a BFe, just a shame the forks on the Bullit are 1.5".
