Yeah we get a colour scheme in our heads, I feel your dissatisfaction... its a bit of cut yer losses at this stage, bike bits and frames are shithouse at this current time.Gonna take the raw but have expressed my dissatisfaction with the local dealer. Not sure if I want to put any more money through him after I get the frame
OMG. You're the yin to my yang! Or is it yang to my yin?apparently the frame I’d paid for and been told there was no issue getting a black one is raw, which isn’t what I paid for
Oh Oh... another GG thread coming upWhat is going on with Banshee and their dealers?
I was shocked. No communication since convincing me it was a raw - or a long wait until September or October. I originally wanted black and bought some very pretty silver LE mezzers (which I then returned and now can't buy anywhere, because I didn't want to make it the silver surfer...).Were you happier to see the black or disappointed
Did they give you an ETA?So, I got in touch with Jay at Banshee as I’ve not heard a peep from the local dealer and apparently the frame I’d paid for and been told there was no issue getting a black one is raw, which isn’t what I paid for.
They can ano one for me, but its going to take a while.
Do I take the raw one and hope the bits I bought look good on it or wait for an ano one?
Dunno, but Jay is really responsiveWhat is going on with Banshee and their dealers?
Not yet, Jay was responding to my emails last night so should get some answer shortly hopefullyDid they give you an ETA?
I'm only after the frame (which I've already paid for!), have all the bits to put on and in all honesty, I want to buy new if I can. I do like the look of Litenbrors though!There is plenty going on with shortages in many industries at the moment, but the bike industry seems to really struggle with communication and customer service!
For what it's worth, I think RAW is the only way to get a Banshee.
Does the one @Litenbror is selling fit you?
Don’t get me wrong, the raw Banshees look awesome, I went with the black as I like the finish, it’s more disappointing I didn’t have the change passed onIf it's any comfort to you, I have never looked at my raw Banshee frames and wished they are in another finish.
They're stunning.
I resemble that!!!Raw is quite neutral as long as its not an abortion of 3 other colours.
I don't think its worth it either, but same as you I'd bought thinking I was getting one and now I'm getting the other and wasn't told.I don't think it's worth 2-way across-country postage. But if you weren't on the other side of Australia I might be inclined to swap (assuming Banshee let us keep warranty etc.).
At times it feels a bit vain to worry about the colour so much, but I was genuinely cranky when all the effort (and extra expense of swapping parts) meant nothing as the colour was changed around without me knowing.
Really been hanging out for a good news story with you getting your frameset and building it up. Here's hoping some shipping fairies get it to you soon.
