Stanton titanium build

stinus · Jul 25, 2015

A titanium love story:

i just started the build up of my new Stanton switchback, the build will be classic 1x10 w. xtr/xt parts, sram/dt wheels and Avid bb7 brakes. The forks will be a 120mm Fox's until i can afford a set of 140mm Pike's.

the saddel is as always a flite TI, this one is from around 1996 so i a good 20years on the paths

More pictures of the build tomorrow and if the rainy danish summer allows it a ride report

Is that an 18inch frame? If so how tall are you as i was thinking of getting a steel one to complement my Sherpa.

one of my favourite frames! amazing bike!
only one question: Why bb7 brakeset?

Re:

I always use bb7 brakes on my bikes, on my old frame it was a question about having matching levers with V in the back and disc in the front - though they have grown on me over the years, i like cables it easy and reliable - but i'm thinking of trying out a set of formula's i have in the basement or getting a set of XT's

Very nice, needs a shorter stem though!
