I haven't but would like to give it a go. To be honest this's my first hardtail since 1992, first 27.5" and first Cromo frame so can't compare it with anything yet!

 Ok thanks buddy. I have a Switchback ordered for when they arrive at the end of April..I really can't wait, I'm so looking forward to it. It took me a long time looking a frames to finally decide I wanted to get a Stanton Switchback to replace my On-One 45650B frame..

 I was trying to decide between this, the Switchback and the Vendetta. I really wanted the Switchback in raw but they decided to stop that "colour" and the Vendetta was bit to expensive for my first 27.5", non aluminium hardtail. I'm quite happy so far, the paint job looks "world class"!

 That frame you have there was also nearly the one I have too!, but they was out of stock now until August I think it is else who knows I could well have had one too. The only thing I wasn't keen on is the press fit bb but I'm sure its not as bigger deal as people make them out to be but yeah I'd defo prefer a threaded bb simply because you can remove and re-fit them more easily without having to replace them for a new one each time.

The Vendetta is nice and not a bad price for a grand considering the ti-Switchback is what about £1500..

The raw Stantons are really nice!, I had a hard time choosing the colour as well tbh!..I went with the Cherry Red which I thought will be nice and bright for the summer, it was either that or the Sherpa Green colour or Shadow Grey. I also liked the black Stanton colour of the Slackline.
