Any reason why not to?
I am thinking about one of these to replace my Blur 4x, I already have a set of Fox 36s, some nice 26" wheels (which can be swapped with the ones on my BFe if anything breaks) and a stack of tyres, what would I really be losing out on buy buying a Suppressor instead of selling everything and buying a Patrol?

Nothing.
But if I wanted a 26" frame I'd be grabbing a secondhand bargain instead.
You're making out like 26" is dead Stace? 😀
Mine arrived last week to a similar situation:

Not built up yet, but see you tommorrow eh?
Just get a s/h bandit. They're awesome.
Andy, what size frame is that?
I'll be riding my 26er tomorrow in an attempt to cheer myself up over missing the race Andy.
🙁
It's an XL. I'm 6'2", so t should be good with a de rigur short stem.
Anyone built up / ridden one of these yet?
Thinking of replacing my 26inch Remedy frame with one of these. Usual scenario, wish I'd bought the larger (read longer) size with hind-sight.
Any hints on the sizing for 6ft person? Size guide looks like a large frame will be suitable, but sometimes bikes ride larger or smaller than their guide.
Don't know about this but at 6'2" I was happy with my 26" Bandit in a Large, and am still happy with my Large 650b Bandit. (70mm stem with 780mm low rise bars).
If it rides like a Patrol, happy days. I [u]love[/u] my Patrol.
I'm 5'9" on a medium with a 45mm stem. It gives me plenty of room for a decent standing climb position.
