Why not?

My 45650b is great.

Why not? What's wrong with the 45650b? Failing that a Stanton Switchback comes to mind.

If I were to get one (happy enough with 26 for now) it would be a Stanton Switchback. Looks well designed with good geometry.

A friend has a Slackline which seems very good. Switchback seems like a slacker 650b version.

Not the cheapest though so depends on budget.

I ordered a 14" 45650b and they sent me a 16". I got them to pick it up and now they've received it back they called to say the 14" is out of stock until December. So I need something else.

Stanton Switchback looks great bout the 16.5 top tube is too long - That's why I was going for a 14" 45650b originally.

You won't get Trans Am as no smalls in UK. Only have Medium in stock, so will be a long wait till get some from US

Soul is too long, and not LT - which is a shame.

Kustom Bikes are showing size small Trans Ams in stock??

They will then ring me up to check stock. I never ordered any Smalls in as did not want to be left with any at end of season.
Windwave won't have stock yet either

Can't you just run a really small stem if TT is too long on the bikes mentioned? Hope 35mm maybe?
