I’ve ridden bmx for years and got my first mountain bike about 18 months ago. I got talked into a 29er because it would be quicker and roll over stuff better, which I agree, it was, but that wasn’t what I wanted. Jumping it felt like I was just along for the ride. I think 29er is great of you want to stay on the ground and go fast. I wanted something playful that I could have fun on and whip around easily. I’ve recently got a new 27.5 bike and it suits my riding style much better. I’d try and have a go on a couple of different bikes if you can

I figured I’d try this here first before moving to a more mtb specific forum. My new bike is here so need to clear some room for it. 2018 Banshee Phantom v2, size Large in arguably the best colour. Purchased new by me in March 2019 so I’ve had it just over a year.
Banshee describes the Phantom as the original “down country” short travel 29er. I’m not sure about that but definitely one of the first in the trend. Very capable of long XC days and at the same time trips to a bike park or trail centre.
Banshee Phantom (Large)
Rockshox monarch rt3 shock (105mm)
Rockshox Yarp fork (120mm)
Sram NX groupset
KS LEV dropper post
Halo wheels with Hans Dampf tyres set up tubeless. One rim has a dent that I’ve not tried to smooth out. Still holds tubeless fine with no loss of pressure.Only change from the pictures are the bars and stem. It will come with raceface chester bars and raceface Aeffect stem. Pedals not included but might be able to find something in the shed if needed
At the moment collection only please from any of the following places; Leighton buzzard, Chesham/Amersham or Berkhamsted. I could also probably drive a small distance to meet.
£1500 ono

Not sure if you’re still looking but I’ll be selling a Banshee Phantom next week once my new bike arrives. Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll post some more pictures/details. Will be looking for around £1500

How much effort has been put into getting the post out so far? And what sort of price are you looking at for postage in the UK?

Not mine but I saw this on eBay earlier
I did think about sizing down on my new bike. I’m 181cm and was looking at a medium transition patrol. I ended up getting a large because the steep seat tube angle meant on the medium i was very close to the bars with the dropper post up despite it feeling great with the dropper down.
