Price drop, $2200 with the CCDB shock! That's a whole goddamn bike for cheaper than the frame alone! (I paid $2500 for the frame and rear shock) Will ship Aus wide.

The best bike I've ever ridden and an extremely regretful sale! Price drop $2200 firm. The 160mm coil Lyriks and Cane Creek DB shock are the plushest and smoothest thing you'll ever ride... Owned by a bike mechanic... Just serviced and had half the parts replaced with brand new bits so...

Kona's really outdone themselves this year... their bikes look so good! But ew, is that seriously the stock stem?

Penny Wong for PM. Female asian environmentalist who just happens to be lesbian. That'll fuck 'em.

At lease it's not avid... I removed my elixir caliper and lever from the bike and found braking performance was much improved.

Yes, it's an excuse for me to get the new Pikes :P But really, I like how the bike rides now with massive 2.4 Ardents... 650b means I can get the same feel but with lighter/smaller tyres. Aluminium weighs less than rubber. Awesome, thanks. How're those rims holding up? I like weight and...

Okay, maybe the title sounds a bit stupider than my actual question. I'm playing around with the idea of converting my bike to 650b and looking at my current 26" frame clearance with a 2.5" tyre, I might just be able to get away with it without buying new dropouts. Would anyone with a 650b...

Rumour says that the Reign's currently being redesigned and will be released mid 2014 ;) Until then, it'll be the Trance SX and Reign X in the 140-160mm part of the range.

Rune V2 for sure. With the right setup it rides like a downhill bike, but it can get up the hill too. I've got one and it's honestly the best bike I've ever ridden, the geo is great and the suspension is fantastic, even when running a cheaper RP23 shock. Active and super plush without bogging...

Wide bars and short stem for maximum fun. Pops and manuals easier and allows me to ride a size larger frame for more stability. 760mm bars and 40mm stem for me personally. Occasionally have to manual and bar turn to get through the narrow trees though haha :P

Haven't seen any other threads about a 2013 league yet, I reckon go for it.

So, after having my (uninsured) bike stolen at the beginning of march, I've finally finished building this beauty up. Final numbers are 15.4kg, $3700, and 100% awesome. Frame - 2013 Banshee Rune V2 Large Rear shock - RP23 Front shock/fork - 150mm Revelation dual air Handlebars - 750mm 15mm...

From IGA right in the middle of town. Ran in to get a drink and it went walkabout.
