Yes I know the tyres /logos aren't aligned, the slabs need weeding and re-laying, the pallet needs to go to the tip and I left the dust cap off the front wheel....
Cheers
I keep saying it on every one of these threads, but these are lovely frame and a fantastic colour. Though the raw look damned good too.
You could at least sorted the crank alignment for the pic!
Nice frame...love that green
Damn and blast!!! Knew there was something matther 😆
mmm, Stanton- looking to get a new frame for t' crush- choices choices
With any luck I will even get to ride it this weekend!! Tonight is cricket for minivader and tomorrow is work.... Sunday is out as mrsvader wants to go to ikea.... Ffs!!! Maybe a blast round swinley tomorrow evening....
Ah IKEA...don't conform, walk the opposite way to the arrows!
Lovely, another potential contender for my 29er hardtail project that has been planned for the past year and probably will never happen unless I come in to some money 😆
What size did you go for / how tall are you?
I'd usually ride a 19" being 6ft but the top tubes look really realllly long on these things.
Finally! I knew there must have been some other Stanton fans out there...
Looks awesome but the photos never quite do that shade of green the justice it deserves, it's truly stunning.
Looks like a 19" to me devash although happy to be corrected by the OP. I'm as near as damn it 6' and went for the 17" with 604mm ETT, it was the correct decision for me, these things are low and very long...
daftvader, if you haven't ridden it in anger yet you are in for a treat 😀
Devash... 19" Yes it is long however that suits me as I am 6' but long of body but short of leg! As for ikea.... The boy goes to the crèche and I sit in the cafe and read till I'm needed to pack the car!!!!!!!
The wreckage... I test rode one from tamed earth bikes in Hindhead... Loved it from the first...
Very bloody nice! Looking forward to seeing it in the metal, especially the colour! 8)
I can't make tomorrow eve chap, I'm planning on early morning out of QECP as the rest of my weekend is busy, so maybe next weekend?
Slackalice... can probably do something next Sunday... What about a different alton route?? Get dom out too?
Wow... you said it would look good. You were right, that's very smart.
Week Sunday very likely, will let you know.
Will be seeing Dom tomorrow night so will float the idea as we party in some woods somewhere 8)
Cheers bartimaeus... Looks so much better in the flesh. Now hopefully I'll have the legs for a 1X 9 drivetrain. And when the weather crap it's going ss....
Slackalice sounds grand... Staying off the port this time?? 😉
Did it arrive on the pallet ?
Didn't they were that heavy.
We won't be needing alcohol! 😉
Did I mention nice colour?!
Absolutely brilliant.... Took it for a quick 10 miler this evening. Super fast, direct power and steering. really compliant on the lumpy stuff, whilst it isn't going to win light weight bike of the year it rides much lighter than it is (if that makes sense) and appears quite playful too, will have to take it to swinley for a play.... Aund a superb ride. Very happy 8)
