    My bud in AZ is seriously looking at building one. He had the OEM version and loved it. This one looks modern geo'd out.

    Sweet! Banshee is totally on the move. One of the few bike companies giving me wood.

    My friend has been a die hard Banshee rider for years. He has gone back and forth between the Prime and the Phantom in recent times. Pretty sure he will build a Paradox soon. He's been threatening to do so. :D

    Has it ever occurred to you that I've ridden a full suspension bike and that's how I decided it wasn't for me? Ever? No?

    You have? When? What make and model? Where? For how long? A Gary Fisher Sugar may not be the state of the art... :whistling:

    And no, it has never occurred to me. It's a lot more fun to pick on your stubbornness if I assume you've never tried one. :sneaky: :thumbsup:

    I have an extra single speed you can borrow... Any time! A little training and we'll get you past that 3000 foot barrier.

    I generally don't decide I don't want to do or try something until I've given it a fair shake.

    Except for snails.

    And balut.

    And kimchi.:eek:

    And Aliso, and LCWP...

    So bummed that your extra SS is too small for me. Dahhmmmmmitttt! :bang: :whistling:

    I practiced SS-ing just for you today. I put it in a harder gear, stood up, and barely turned the pedals over. It was amazing. :cautious: o_O

    Oh, and last year I was clearing 3000' regularly and even made 4000' a couple of times. BUT, starting over now. :thumbsdown:

    I think hertz would be giving you a smirking noogie while making these comments, but I think you also get that.

    It’s kinda like sushi for me, I have tried it and tried it some more but will never be into it. When my wife, who could eat sushi every meal, gives me crap about it I just remind her that I’m paying the bill so leave me and my ramen bowl alone.

    Just think how much easier those 4,000-foot days would be on an 18 lb hardtail.

    My hard tail probably weighs almost as much as @herzalot ’s full suspension. :Roflmao

    I assume that you are referring to eating snails? Because they are harmless, interesting, gentle pets if you provide the proper environment. :D

    They're not anywhere near harmless if you're growing certain plant life. And yes, I was referring to them as "food." They aren't.

    For maximum fun, put these on your list: 5-6" of squish, 65° head angle, steep seat tube, wide rims with aggressive tires. For best results, try all at once. :)

    I can't see that as conducive to climbing from GMR/Sierra Madre to Islip Saddle. o_O

    I ride for fun! Climbing provides access to that fun. Hardtails are contraindicated. But you knew that would be my response.

    I understand that you can't, but love of going downhill with a bike that makes it fun is a motivator for uphill riding. :geek:

    Anybody who thinks today's squish platforms are energy-sapping and unsuited to XC simply hasn't spent time on them. I can ride up anything on my Smash that could on any bike I've owned, hardtails included. Not just because it's the most fun going down. ;)


    Oopsie. I thought this is a MTB site.

    Also, snowshoes will not work well on your road ride either. :gotnothing:
