Banshee -- thanks for reminding me about them, Liam.  You don't see them much out here, maybe one or two shops in Toronto carry them, but they are quite popular out west.  They are fantastic bikes.  I hadn't considered looking at those until your mention.  The Paradox looks like it would fit my needs perfectly.  The geometry is similar to my Fisher wrt. seat tube and head tube angles, which is a very good thing.  But the rear triangle looks like a far superior build.  In fact, the shape of the tubing looks just like that on my wife's Opus, and is probably greatly responsible for its excellent responsiveness and generally super-fun ride quality.

Well done! You got me onto something good here...
