is the banshee scratch...
- Thread starter Jer D
- Start date
I would think so - a chick I know rips up the skatepark on hers.
My shop i work at just became a banshee dealer. I was supposed to get a sinister dna, but becoming a dealer fell through. I just ordered a banshee scratch and hopefully will be here soon!...ill let u know what its like!....
P.S. Naults Cyclery, in Manchester, NH (my shop) will be getting some demo banshee mid november. If anyone in the area is interested please contact me!
thanx

No........
I think the geometry looks good, and i'm sure with it being a Banshee it is plenty strong. The one thing I don't like is that swoopy top tube. Looks a little silly if you ask me.
might be a little heavey to manipulate in the air.......try a brooklyn park bike HT, maybe a P3 if you dont have a big budget but want a solid bike, or a contina 432 slalom (i think thats what its called)
A scratch is a dream for both street and dirtjumping.
Couple of friends of mine ride m and they (and me) love m to death.
Every time I get on one I feel immideatly at home on it.
Just chek what size u prefer before you buy one.

ahmm what Kevin said.. i know those friends to, they love em. but i've ridden one with 24'' wheels and the geometry just sucks!!! It such a weird feeling..i does not feel correct for me.. and i can;t control the bike i want. Imo it s a nono with 24" wheels.
Uhm they are the best with 24" wheelz. Handling is so much better with 24's in stead of 26".
yes i ride i contina 43s slalom, or known in the real world as a cortina trion dual slalom (4130).... its actually a real light bike but this has nothing to do with the banshee scratch.....
a couple groms from the my shop are getting one each, i'll let you know how they feel once they get here
yeh normallly they are, but as of about half way through the last issue, they pulled out..........we are the only dealer in new england so far, and banshee said that they most likely will let us stay that way...........

yes, it looks like it would make a good dj
I thought that BTI just didn't carry the scratch but did carry all of the others
Nope from what i've been told from our banshee rep, was that they pulled out of QBP, BTI......i dont know why, they might be starting to get the name out there, and more people riding them in the states, i really don't know though. All i have to say is, if your looking into a banshee, and your not sure, go with it, u wont be pissed at yourself for that decision......
