yeah good looking machine, have a load of fun on that baby, but first i'd change those ring pedals they're a bit too permanent for me

Scotj009 (Feb 2, 2015 at 13:10)

Haha yeah

crazy expensive fork, entry level race face speck all round? They coulda done with a nice turbine groupo to match that fork quality level.

yeah it is a bit miss match but not too bad

I've always wanted a Stanton, seen the Slackline in Dirt Mag a few years back and have always wanted one..

Scotj009 (Feb 2, 2015 at 14:11)

Yeah they are beautifully crafted!

Check out the naked steel version of the switchback! When they come back in stock i am buying one!

yeah looks sick although i thought they stopped making them because people were complaining about them rusting, even though they clearly stated that they would rust over time for aesthiticle reasons

Russyh (Feb 3, 2015 at 10:38)

Dunno mate, i emailed them asking the other day! Rat look would be awesome. Whats wrong with people. Fucking mugs!

Scotj009 (Feb 3, 2015 at 11:01)

yeah some people are f*cking retarded... I hope you manage to get one though

That really appeals to me , looks quick!

Scotj009 (Feb 2, 2015 at 13:09)

Yeah it does on the charts as well

oooh! thats nice.......

Scotj009 (Feb 2, 2015 at 14:12)

yep and the only difference i can make out between this and a BFe is a slacker headangle, 65.5 instead of 68, and a slacker seat tube, 72.5 instead of 73

wythall1 (Feb 2, 2015 at 14:47)

Ahh! now, the BFe with 160mm forks (which I have) has a head angle of 65.5 degrees.
I am still waiting for the frame as they failed to ship on Thursday due to a bit of snow! (Cotic only ship once a week!)

Scotj009 (Feb 2, 2015 at 23:46)

oh ok i didn't know that... cool then the only difference will be stiffnes and weight etc but also beauty

wythall1 (Feb 3, 2015 at 9:19)

The frame has arrived! Building time!

Scotj009 (Feb 3, 2015 at 9:41)

cool can't wait for pics
