Legend Show Bike

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past couple of months you have seen pictures of the Banshee Legend MKII. The first time I saw pictures of the Legend MKII I thought it looked pretty much like every other race bike out there. After seeing it in person a month ago I started lusting over the thought of getting one. In the span of a work day my lust turned into love and then heart break.

Today my task was to build the Legend MKII show bike. When I showed up at the factory there was a medium Legend in the Team Red color scheme waiting for me. After raiding Jay’s office and desk I had the parts ready to start building.

Usually after building up a bike, even if it is a friend's or customers I will take it for a little spin to make sure everything is good to go. This is first bike that I did not go for my ceremonial ride ... and that is when my heart was broken.

We would like to thank Cane Creek, Manitou, Hayes, Straitline, WTB, Race Face, Funn and Crank Brothers for helping out with this special build project. I'm not much for reading, so check out the pictures ...

The pictures are not the greatest, I did not have much time to take pictures, we had to prep the bike for the show tomorrow.

Keep riding.

I am poaching this from the Straitline Blog. I would expect Greg to do the same … Check out how sexy this Legend looks ...

STRAITLINE SILENT GUIDE

In between my extensive research on the net for the latest thing known to man…  I go over emails sent in from clients. What I promise to start doing is blogging everyone's rides up as you send them in, so please feel free and when I get a few together I’ll blog it up!
The Silent guides are in the Market as we speak in low volumes but the real release will be formally made next month but take a look at some guides installed.
This is Jeff Beeston of Trail Cycles up island from us in Courtney BC.
Jeff decked his Banshee Legend MKII with our guide, you may notice that he has a Straitline 50mm SSC pinch clamp stem on that Dorado.. When I asked him WTF? He mentioned it was just to test positions before he cut his steer tube to try our ULTRA 28 boXXer out so no need to comment.

 

This last shot was sent in from Rob at Sun Country Cycles in Vernon after Some muddy Spring riding. And for those of you not familiar with BC well you saw Vancouver on the Olympics with blue skys and no snow.. it has been a mellow spring!

(not a Legend, but check out how well this guide works)

Keep Riding,

Rob Dunnet
