Banshee legend mk2

Maaaaaan is how i can describe it, , after a horrible winter. I finally got my mk2 frame. And DAAYUUM it looks nice :) Dismantled the old v10 and built the mk2 in just over one hour and a half. Installing the chrisking headsett took a little time due to the long cups but otherwise it went pretty smooth.

Here is the spec:

Banshee legend mk2 (M) with dhx rc4 shock (300 spring) Might actually need a softer spring. But ill test it some before purchasing another spring.

Fox 40rc2
hope/chrisking hubs built on atomlab pimplite rims f&r. Pretty stiff wheelsett. And light.
Hope m6 brakes with 9" huge rotor at the front for pure power and 8" at the back.
Chrisking devolution 1.5" -> 1.1/8" headsett in black with stealthy logo color.
continental der kaiser tire at front. And maxxis minion f at the rear (going to changed)
Saint cranks 165mm with e13 lg1+ chainguide.
transition temple lite stem, nukeproof warhead handlebar.
Sant rear deraileur with xtr chain and pg980 cassette.


And here is some photos. Enjoy :)















Cannot wait to take it out and rip the trails to shreds with this machine of mayhem. Or its me on top of it that's going to create the mayhem :) More photos of the beauty will come when the weather clears and gives the bike the sunlight it deserves.

First real dh trip this year.

I took my first dh trip today. And it was nothing but horrible. There was snow everywhere. It was just as hard to get the bike down the trail as up it. Nothing but loose snow. 15cm of it.

Really hoping for some serious rain later today. At least i got fresh air and the pleasure of looking at some great scenery.


Here are some photos of the place before the rain came.... Lovely scenery.

The winter is finaly melting away.

After a looong and horrible winter season with almost 4 months of nothing but snow and no biking conditions what so ever. The snow is finally melting away by the lovely rain. Mmmmm the air is so much more fresh to breathe in when its raining. And the salty roads is being washed and cleaned by the rain.

Hopefully the snow is totally gone when i build up the legend mk2. But til then i have the v10 to bash around on. Looking forward to getting messy and muddy again. Especially since i have not been able to ride properly the entire winter.

Photos of places, that the week before this had 50cm to 1m of snow. And at some places 10 to 15cm of hard ice under.



Mmmm lovely grass. Cant wait to smell the new mowed lawn smell, and to hear birds singing in the trees. It gives me the real feeling of summer.


Next winter. I am seriously buying some sort of winter sport equipment. Maybe a snow bmx/smx. Hmm. We shall see.
