Finally though I’d get round to posting my new bike. Finished it just before Christmas and this is it before the dirt on it’s New Year ride out.

I went for the grey as everyone else has the green and with my red bits I didn’t want it looking to festive all year round. Finished with full XT 1 x 11, Hope Wheels and Rev’s on the front. I love it and can’t wait for the adventures I’m going to have on this.

Perfect! That is a lovely build and great colour. Enjoy.

nice, understated but with a bit of glamour if you look closely

Very nice, love the colour. If I ever replace my Soul, Stanton’s would be high on the list.

The fence, the weeds, the ivy.. where to start?? 😉

The concrete cracks as well…

You see this is why I’ll never take a photo of it at home and always out and about. I’d be paranoid afterwards and be like “Mrs Teadrinker, we’re landscaping the back, too many comments!” 😀

I like that a lot.

Clearly its the wrong colour ( I went with green) but apart from that 😆

Is that the 19” or 21”?

That looks well sorted.

Very Nice.

Recently dipped my toe into Stanton ownership with a Slackline. Loving it so far with great backup. Much prefer it to my previous Bfe so far.

It’s the 21″ Mark, did you sell yours in the end or keep it?

Kept it. A decision I’ve not regretted 😛

That’s lovely but I am fully paid up Stanton fan boy.

When looking to change my Slackline 853 I came pretty close to buying a Sherpa but ended but with a Switchback.

My 853 was in that grey and it looks brilliant in the sun.

I was much the same when I swapped my BFe for my Slackline – it was the first steel bike that seemed to have the steel qualities that people bang on about (I think the 631 is different to ride than my old 853 due to the fatter seat and head tubes).

That’s the 21″, with that much seat post out? How bloody tall are you?

Lovely looking bike, BTW. Just looks ‘right’ 🙂

So tall, to be fair though I hadn’t put it back all the way down, had just pumped up the seat post. Saying that though I am 6ft 4, mostly leg too. Think of me as the Elle Macpherson of the cycling world 🙂
