thank you builttoride haha i'm not sure if the bike actually does accelerate but simply not slowing down and being able to maintain speed in those sections I think qualifies as "accelerating" (relative to other bikes that might be slowing down)

the green paint in person (which is what came on my frame) is outstanding especially in the light but it's one of those things you kinda gotta see in person....any suggestions on a new paint scheme if your not a fan (no sarcasm jus curious!)

hey too be honest the only thing I wasn't a huge fan of on the bike was the bushings in the pivots which are being switched to bearings for next year. If you have some in depth questions please don't hesitate to ask me or shoot the guys at Banshee an e-mail, Keith typically responds within a day or two and loves for people to pick his brain about bikes!
