Rare prototype Banshee Prime frameset size Large - shock included

Description: One of only 20 or so made - This was one of the prototype bikes Banshee made to develop the v2 Prime, and I'm the 2nd owner. Being a prototype, it was super overbuilt and is still completely solid. There are no cracks anywhere, only a few tiny scratches that didn't sand out. I bought this back in 2016, and hate to see it go, but need funds for my car. It probably saw less than 100 miles a year. I ran it with both 29" wheels (awesome) and 27.5"x2.8" (super comfy and grippy but the BB was a bit too low). The HA is listed as 66* but I measured it closer to 65* with a 150mm Pike. The geo has been perfect for the PNW, and midwest trails I rode it on. It was originally clear coated raw aluminum, which I painted black before assembling it. In preparation to sell, I stripped it completely, then sanded through grits to grey scotch brite pads. It's ready to paint, or you can polish it. All brand new bearings, never ridden, with the exception of the 2 bearings in the upper linkage which still move freely.Comes with Rock Shox Monarch R piggyback shock - size 200x57mm - tuned for the frame. It could use a rebuild, but was working fine when I disassembled the bike. Standard 73mm threaded BB, 135mm QR rear end (Banshee archive lists thru-axle which came with the production models, I asked banshee if the dropouts can be updated - nope).No seat collar included - 34.9mm size. Drilled for a dropper from the factory.ISCG mounts.Derailleur hanger included Here is the link to the Banshee past models archive - https://www.bansheebikes.com/past-model-archiveMessage me with any questions.Local pickup preferred, but I'll ship within the continental US for $60. No shipping outside the lower 48, sorry.Thanks for looking!
