 Very nice.

 If I bought a Stanton Switchback I could fit all my parts of my On-One to it, apart from a new headset...sounds like a plan. Or a trans-am. Or wait for the new Surge or Eccentric or Pig or get a Shan or Samurai 65. I believe Chromag are bringing out a new frame soon, a cheaper version of the Samurai 65 made in Taiwan, no idea when but they did mention it to me a while back. I just need to get the money saved instead of spending it. Sure I'll have a new frame by summer, I'll keep dreaming for now, not in rush though as that will give me time to check out the new 2015 frames.

 It's called a wide angle. I have photos of them. They look like a production samurai 65. The stantons geo looks much more inviting to me.

 I think the surge is my top for the value. All the boxes ticked and very affordable.

 Oh the new Chromag frame, cool man I can't remember if they told me the name of it or not, cheers for that. Yeah the new Surge Evo or Pig will sure be the best value at £350, probably looking to get something with a bolt thru rear axle next but the 2015 Surge Evo doesn't have one, which is a pitty and the 2015 Ragley frames have been delayed until Summer now.

 The surge has a 10x135 which can accept a non QR skewer. Do you mean a maxle or similar?

 Yeah I mean like a maxle type bolt thru axle, I know its not a deal breaker but just something I'd prefer. I'm surprised Chromag still use the standard type rear dropouts, but then I guess they must be upto the job else they wouldn't still be using them.

 The Matter Slayride or Stanton Ti would be my money-no-object pics. The stantons don't have stealth dropper or big tire clearance advertised which not to be picky kind of disappoints me. I think I'm in line for a surge army green. Stay tuned!

 Yeas true about the Stantons having no stealth dropper routing although I'm yet to buy a dropper as they don't appeal to me at the moment but worth having the routing I suppose in case I changed my mind. Also yeah that green Surge Evo is beauty of a frame, that is one nice colour scheme from NS bikes indeed, its very nice.
