I've been having dreams about the Spitfire since I sent back the model I picked as my tester's choice in the 2011 Bible of Bike Tests. That original version was everything I wanted ... almost. I couldn't wait for the opportunity to see if Banshee's new 2013 Spitfire together with a no-compromise build kit could truly be the bike of my dreams.

Dream Builds: Banshee Spitfire

Did I read that correctly, the bike has 140mm rear travel and you put on a 36 Fox Float with 180mm travel? It seems like that would mess up the geometry and make it like an unbalanced chopper.

By the way, I'm with you on 26ers. They're lighter, stiffer, handle better and most importantly, are more fun. 26ers for life!!!
