Glad you like it, you have given me an honest reply, so no need to remove it. Are you getting one? :-)

silverfish1974 (Mar 31, 2015 at 12:46)

Oh cool man, thanks. Wasn't sure if you was going to be p*ssed off about it. Yeah I've ordered a red one, 18"....but not coming until end of May, lol....that feels like forever...

I'm 5 ft 11" and the 18" fits me great, oh yes we got 2 in this house!! Mine was one of the first batch back in August last year, translucent green. Fantastic ride, will be worth waiting for :-)

I was wondering what bike you rode...Of course another Switchback, very nice, that translucent green is an amazing colour and that was the first colour I wanted back when they came out. I should have bought this frame ages ago, really not sure why I've left it until now...hahaha...

Best bike I have ridden in the 27 years I've been riding

mmm, ok i still like it in red, even after seeing the raw one, but the raw is bone worthy.

silverfish1974 (Mar 31, 2015 at 6:01)

Yeah thats the thing I've yet to see one in person. I'm sure I'll be more than happy with with it when I get it..hehe.

Also the frames been delayed until end of May now....

end of may?!

silverfish1974 (Mar 31, 2015 at 8:10)

Yeah I know, tell me about it. They said Reynolds sent them the wrong tubing for the head tubes and they only found out today....not sure why that would delay it by 4 weeks...

pigman65 (Mar 31, 2015 at 9:39)

They have probably got to send it to China

silverfish1974 (Mar 31, 2015 at 9:46)

Yeah, you know what I think you might be right there...what the heck...

Can't you not just use Royal Mail next day delivery to China then, surly that'd be quicker...

pigman65 (Mar 31, 2015 at 9:53)

I feel for ya, nothing like waiting, just like buying from YT ! At least you'll have specced it right out by then

silverfish1974 (Mar 31, 2015 at 9:59)

Yeah I think I remember reading in a thread you waiting for your bike...took ages didn't it.. So by the time the tubing gets to China, say about 4 weeks, then they have to weld them up and paint them and then ship them to the UK...be more like flippin xmas time...

silverfish1974 (Mar 31, 2015 at 10:07)

Anyway are they not made in the UK?...or I think they're just designed here aren't they..

Hey Silverfish, where did you get this photo?

silverfish1974 (Mar 31, 2015 at 12:23)

Oh hi...I found it on Stanton Bikes Facebook page and yes I've just noticed it's the picture you posted on there yourself of your girlfriends bike. You want me to remove it?...
