Pretty sure JrT's came in QR now I think about it.

They did. So did the manitou xvert r's of a similar vintage. Horrible....

QR on a triple crown fork?

Marzocchi had some dark days in the late naughties. Think it was the drop off with dual crowns and qr axle. It was spec on a Kona stinky at one stage and possibly one of the Norco shore hardtails.

They may even have done it on a triple 8 type fork that had adjustable travel. I seem to recall one of my friends buying them from T7 once then regretting it.

How much were the cheap Banshee frames on MTB Direct when they still had them in stock?

$1900 without dropouts, I think.

 

[moorey]

Banshee frame prices at mtbdirect are incredibly low @ $2k w/ shock- Titan (M&L in Red), Rune (S&M) and Phantom (M).

If only they had an XL Prime or XL any really for this price

Make that $2k.

 

[Shredden]

Make that $2k.

Damn, wonder if they will ever come back..

 

[HamboCairns]

Any decent Amazon Prime deals today?

 

[moorey]

They will.


On Facebook and Gumtree.


For $3k

 

[PJO]

Damn, wonder if they will ever come back..

Lowest the V2 frames got was $1790 without dropouts for Spitty and Phantom (Rune and Prime were a touch more I think).
Not coming back, that boat sailed already.
V3 is about a grand more.
I've been kicking myself so hard for not jumping at the time...

 

[Petero]

I kicked myself so hard that I impulse ordered a Ripmo AF instead...

 

[gippyz]

On the other hand, I'm glad to have bought the last medium Rune, and not having to wait weeks upon weeks for a non-boost dropout. Got lucky with 1 distributor who had his previous order for the dropout cancelled by the customer.

That's $10 more than I paid for mine. The covid tax is real!! And they are now from $39, $4 more... Is the covid tax retracting?

 

[moorey]

If they paid me $49 per tyre, I still wouldn’t run tan wall.
