troyzstang Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Well it's time for another restore / flip banshee. Picked up another banshee a few days ago that was a little rough. This will be another flip bike. The engine needs the basic " crank / piston refresh" Question is should I leave it as your standard MX style banshee or do a rigid frame drag bike? I can go either way for about the same investment. What would bring more attention / cash in your area? Thanks Troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jriffe23 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 I say drag build. Just opinion. They look nice, but the market may be slim for people looking for a drag specific or mx specific build. IMO find somebody that wants it and build what they want. You maybe get a better penny out of it. Only problem is that person will need a budget and you still want to make some profit so keep that in mind. I would love doing this for people but i would want money up front so i know i wasnt sinking all my money into something that they ended up say to hell with. Just an idea.

troyzstang Posted August 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Yeah I should surf. This poor bike was seriously neglected. But I think I can bring it back from it's current state of disrepair. It's not the worse bike I've flipped but it's pretty bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
