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

Yep...that was me!! 5 months old. Frown

What did you do with the frame? Are you selling it? I can probably fix it if I saw the damage.

2015 Honzo with 27.5 tires

Just built up my 2015 Honzo with WTB Scraper rims (45mm internal width) and Trail Blazer tires. Room to spare with with the 2015 frame. Haven't rode it yet, but looks like it is going to be a ton of fun.

Sick looking rig you got there! It's a 29er frame with 29er fork, right? Curious to hear how you like it and how it compares to 29'' wheels Smile

Well, it won't get any sexier in my book. I might consider changing some parts (pedals and handlebar), if they break but I don't see that happening too soon. So here it is:

brake line length: check
proper drivetrain: check
some tasteful colour matching: check

@Hootbmx, the honzo looks brutal.
