Project Banshee Scirocco part 5

I went to Luke's last night to finish the build.

His dog T Bone ate the rest of my Sram Mechanical, so im running it 1x9.


Getting the drive line in place.


Luke working his magic


the best damn head badge ever


routing the cables


Complete at 31.74 pounds


its ridable for now. some immediate things i need to address include crimp on ends to prevent the cables from fraying, i need to heli coil my seat tube clamp, and i need to figure out a better tire siltation other than some crappy 1.95 wtb allterrainasarus. i also need to get the rear wheel trued up as it has a little hop to it.

my initial thoughts after riding it around the block, include incredibly efficient pedaling and a really neutral and flick able feel to it. i cant wait to hit up some trails with it.

I got the Banshee rolling today. once i get my ISCG mount, it will be complete. Until then, enjoy some low quality bike porn.

April showers bring May WTF! Its Feburary.

Its February here in minnesnota, and we've had a day full of rain. what the fuck is up with this? how am i suppose to work on my two seventy on's onto the flat down at kato if its raining? oh well i suspose this means biking season is comming closer.

i talked to chris d today and it looks like well be digging again in wells in as soon as six weeks. so look foward to some more upadates in that department. in other news the banshee is almost finished, just need a rear wheel, tires, chain, and iscg adapter and it will be rolling. maybe a possible job at my lbs will help finish it up here.

this weekend i have a bump comp up at spirit, and i hope they havent had the rain we've had here. it looking like a trip up friday night, riding that evening, comp saturday. then pug fest on suday at hillside park in elk river, should be a good weekend.
