SOLD! 2020 Banshee Paradox V3 frame/Fork

[SnakeCharmer]

As much as I hate to say this, I am done with hardtails. My achy joints can no longer tolerate the abuse. So, I am selling my Paradox V3 frame. It's a size Medium. I've ridden it a few dozen times. No damage anywhere on it, no crashes. Perhaps, not even a scratch. I added a heavy covering of protective tape. Frame includes Banshee headset, seat post clamp, and rear axle. I paid $900 to get it to my front door in April this year. They are now going for as much as $1100 online. New frames are back ordered and hard to obtain.

Everything you need to know about the frame is here:

Just ignore me...

Quality offering right here. The finish on this frame is super sexy in person.

 

[Faust29]

Yep... I agree. This is one good looking bike in person. Better looking than the pictures can capture.

But... Done with hardtails? Crazy talk.

 

[bvader]

Really I am not interested... What's The BB?

 

[mtnbikej]

Doesn't tick any of my boxes.

And you are never done with hardtails.

Threaded

It would have been very attractive with SS capability. As in, I’d probably own one. That aside I can imagine it’s a riot with worthy tires on the right trail.

Good luck with the sale, Mike.

Agreed. That frame is beautiful!

That looks like one STIFF and BURLY frame. Great looking.

Its got built in give/flex zones. That's why it's being compared to titanium (ride quality), and even though it's not titanium, it is certainly softer (comfort wise) than other aluminum frames I've ridden. The hits are not as hard.

Misuse of bespoke. Doesn't look any better, spec-wise, than my existing XTC. Just sayin'.

It would make the Floop seem not so steep.

Nothing steep about the FLoop. Good for a workout, and depending on how far you go, 1 to 3 hours of fun.

A Paradox would make no sense for what and how you ride. Your bike is better.

Does the slow speed compression act as a lockout?

Might be interested in the fork.

Yes but not a total lockout. Stiffens it up nicely for sustained fire road climbs, and the like.

 

[SnakeCharmer]

Price is $650.

 

[SnakeCharmer]

Still available.

Might be a long shot but if your on FB, join tree group Transcend MTB Marketplace. Stuff seems to move pretty quick over there, especially in lower price ranges. Group is largely Filipino and since Covid, that group of riders has blown up down this way. They are constantly dragging in new members who are just starting out. Of course the downside is the amount of riders at Greer has quadrupled, especially on weekends.
