He can't wait to ride it. He has to wait about a month, as he's still recovering from a snapped ankle...

I've got a white frame arriving soon. Can't wait either!!!

[rider219]

Sorry to be a little bit off topic guys but how do the scythe frames go? do you notice any brake jack or peddle kickback?

[Gruntled]

Pedal kickback is there, but it isn't noticeable. I am surprised, as I have always avoided designs with kickback. I don't feel it in the ride. Nor do I feel the brake "jack"- really brake squat, which also has to be there because of the single-pivot design. It does bob a bit more than some other desgns I've ridden, but I use zero pro-pedal, with a bit of pp dialled in the bob fades away. It rides really sweet, tight and agile. I've only met one other rider on a Scythe, he's had it since January, rides it hard and loves it.

really nice bike, good riding and man you should get that dog a bike he could be the next WDDC champion!

(World Downhilling Dog Champion.)

[Gruntled]

I was saying to my girlfriend- "did you see that, he did the rock drop, little DH champ! Pinned it he did!"
She wasn't as impressed as I was. Dammit, he is only 5.5 months old, little champ. I mean, he still falls over randomly like a little drunk sometimes, yet he's pinning the rock drop! Lil DH dawg! He's been riding with me since 7 weeks old. Can't wait till he can keep up.

how gotta love the dog! almost lost the skid at the end, but gr8 vid.

[Lorday]

that vids awsome man, as is the dog and possibly your riding is alright too

[steffo123]

i wish my dog could do that :(

i would try but i would have to stop every 5 meters for him to catch up slash catch him when he is running away.

[cheggy]

The bike looks beautiful. I'm into the new Banshees, and the proto VPP looks quite noice too. Was hoping to see pup hit the step downs over the boulders but I guess you've left room for improvement.

Nice vid.

[Gruntled]

He weighs 22.5 kg at 5 1/2 months, I reckon he'll do the stepdown to flat when he's 12 months, and the tabletop sometime soon after ;)
(Actually I don't like DHilling with him cos it can't be good for his growing joints, normally we walk the track, but then he gets in the way of the other track users :o).

The Banshee Legend MkI IS a sick bike by all reports! There are a couple in the country I think.

[bighitbob1]
