Not sure about the "upgrade" decal, but as a thing of aesthetics i think it works really well

lol that's the 'first' thing I looked at,...and I thought the same thing...Smile

oh and the saddle - it hurts my eyes when I look at it....lol

It's actually not a bad looking bike...I'd personally just change a few things to make it look perfect..Smile

Reminds me of when 69ers were a thing, just before fat bikes became the new weirdo fad.

Actually tried a rigid DMR 69'r and loved it, just couldn't get over the weird ass appearance.

Can get ~32/4lb builds relatively easily, early iterations not being tubeless (fkw) have led to 1200lb builds Pimp

Flippin love this bike...Its odd because I'm sure the guy built it and then said he was selling it, I can't remember why, but now he has a brand new size L 2015 NS Eccentric frame in black for sale.

Just picked up one of these from a guy who couldn't build it up. It's amazing in the flesh. Never seen anything quite like it. Pairing it up with some black DVO diamonds later this month...very excited! Smile

Silverfish - don't friggin damage the seatstays or chainstays on your switchback ti... no one could guarantee fixing my slackline ti welds when I damaged mine, although Stanton do crash replacements for a decent price which your home insurance should cover (if appropriately insured)

Damn it I told you not to tell anyway I was getting the ti-version Switchback instead of steel....

No just kiddin...Not sure what made you think that but I'm waiting for a steel Switchback..

I read in another forum about a guy who bought a ti Stanton and went out on his first ride with it and slipped and bashed the chainstay off a rock and it knackered it up pretty bad....Maybe that was you?...but anyway yeah I felt real bad for whoever it was...

Yeah I'm getting a steel one...but I'll be careful with it still...Smile

The saddle is worthy of an insult far greater than I can conjure, other wise its pretty tidy.

"UPGRADE" decal - constant reminder.........

Even the brand name "SObRE" - make sure you are before mounting lol
