its a canadian frame but over here they are called mythic due to some legal wrangle. i did run it with an xtr groupset and 140mm forks but my poor back needed something more springy although it is quite comfy for an alu ht. to be honest i only use it to ride to the gym on in the morning as i cant be ar5ed with the 600yard walk.

i quite like that.

delcol

looks to good to leave outside a shop

Agreed, that's far too nice for a shops bike! Lovely looking frame, I really like Mythic/Banshee frames.

Looks quite nice, but shame when it will be nicked. What with XTR mech and KCNC and what not.

got the seatpost off ebay from mtb direct i think , was only £11 new, its a very similar post to the charge chopstick post but with less layback.

Thats way too blingy for a shop bike! I'd SS it...

So you can be arsed with the gym but not with walking! lol

At least you're driving to it I guess! It use to bug me that people drove to the gym then hogged the bikes and treadmill- FFS walk, jog or ride to the gym you f***wits!

i did ss it i think i used a 32/17 combo and it was such a good fit that no chain device was needed. like i said i just threw a pile of bits together to see what happened. ive got a ridiculous amount of bits to utilise so i will probably split and sell it and build up a proper hardtail for xc work.
i only ride to the gym as i go before work in the morning and as such im on a very tight schedule, also the gym is closer than my parked car
