Hi...like to say great looking Hardtail, Stantons have some Beautiful looking frames (oh my). Also your components are great...some of these companies I don't know about (I do now). People like yourself have some really helpful information, and it's always great to see these different high quality component Brands on Bike Builds. I like your enthusiasm and how much you like the "Switchback". Cheers.

Good to see a new video from you. I'm glad you're liking the PNW components on there. I went all in on PNW stuff on my new bike and I'm loving it. Being able to slam a 200 mm dropper is great for getting the seat waaaaay out of the way. You should try the loam grips out sometime. I really like them a lot and they're great for grip with and without gloves.
