Ok, spoken to the local dealer. They’ve been offered a discount on the frame as it’s not what I ordered, that’s being passed on to me. They’re also building the bike for free for me.
I didn’t ask for anything, but this is great from Banshee and the local dealer

Seems like a pretty good outcome. Hope it gets to you soon and you love it

Got an email from Jay at Banshee again, looks as though the frame hadn't left yet as they've been locked down in Taiwan.
He's getting it shipped to Perth at their expense via DHL so shouldn't be much longer.

Frame is on the way, dealer has the shipping number in hand so should be here soon.
Shame I’m away offshore for a week for work on Wednesday
Still, progress.

Also bought a k-edge stem mount for my wahoo as the AliExpress special is a no-show - I think AusPost lost it… - so that should be waiting when I get back too

It’s only bloody here!
Well, with the dealer. Rocked up this afternoon, which is good as I got back from a trip offshore today too. Will get it built up next week

FINALLY! Glad it turned up, looking forward to seeing it built.

Yeesss. I saw it on the facebook story last night and was hoping it was yours!

Me too! Should be ready for its maiden voyage next weekend

It was thankfully. I messaged him last night and he said it had just shown up, and he was about to post that story

 

[Rorschach]

Dropped everything off this morning, should get it back tomorrow!

I have it my hot little hands. More pics to follow

Damn that looks good. Would look better with the seat post extended..

Total sled mate! You must be stoked.

Apparently it has to be half way...

I haven’t even ridden it yet, and that’s how it rolled out of the workshop

Seat slammed is the only way.
The riding is more fun when you need to drop it, who cares what it looks like when it’s time to suffer?

Na, I’ve just got really short legs. Opposite of a TRex

So more of a fiddler crab then?

My condolences. Maybe get some longer ones?

Would have ordered them with the bike but it was one or the other
