they might be made in the same factory as some of the kona's but i am fairly sure they aint ment to have a set of triple's on them. not enough gusseting round the head tube.
having said that it's a tidy looking bike, get some gold nano tech pedals, and some black an gold grips, job done lol.
Nice bike man! I have a banshee too but it is mostly stock (its on my profile) but I will be getting a £440 manitou rear shock and 160mm fox forks :) but yours just looks awesome
Watch out for the forks though, you're putting a lot of pressure on the headset so it might snap easier, I was told 160mm would be the max for a banshee or 170mm if I'm lucky..
I'm happy with Carrera frames and bikes as I've rode a few a got two myself. Customising is for fun, you make up what's in your budget range. I like your bike mate. I've put a photo of my bike on with the panniers obviously usefull to carry my work stuff. On my breaks I use it like an ordinary jump bike in the feilds close to. You have fun.
Nice i had one of these my self added a few choice upgrades but never got to the forks glad some one else has done it lol check my banshee out in my pics and rate my rig if you have time cheers fella
Nice one man... I own one of these myself, Fitted with 04 Junior T's, SRAM gear set, Hope discs, still the standard Sunn rims and Maxim tyres. I love the bike, ride it on the mendips every weekend, does not cause me any problems. I've owned custom built bikes in the past and this Banshee X is one of the best i've owned. Loveing the rims, you've given me ideas.
I've always wanted to know what this bike would look like with double crowns, and now I do!
Btw, I'd turn your shock around, less chance of dirt getting into your oil reserve.. and get a new one too, those X-Fusions are rubbish, I'm gonna get a Van R
fk it!! i was thinking about a black respray job as it would look cool with gold rims and bits and bobs but you beat me to it! at lest i know it looks fking cool. nice bike
he's wright the bikes are made in a kona factory somewhere in thailand and he can do wat he likes with his bike
i think it looks like the nicest carrera i have ever seen
Just to say halfords dont make this bike!...they only own the rights to sell it!...Its exactly the same frame as the 05 stinky! would you call that cheap? and i put triple clamps on because thats what i wanted to do!
nice bike i would change the wheels to halo sas and the rear shox to a fox or sommit better the pedals dont match the bike but part from that nice bike
thanks for the rate...they are halo sas lol and yes i agree..> i had a Fox vanilla r on there but it got messed up so i had to but the old one back on lol =[!
