[Closed] Stanton Sherpa - WANT

That is really very nice. Massive chainring though?!

it's lovely & [url= http://www.stantonbikes.com/content/sherpa-853 ]Pre-order price is bargain[/url]

Looks great that - bargin for £250! (Edit: Oh I see it's £500)
To retain a nice 'standard'-looking frame the chainstays are longer than some though (like the Kona Honzo for example).

I do not need another bike, even if the frame is a bargain.

250 is a deposit - another 250 to pay for it in full

phew.

[i]250 is a deposit - another 250 to pay for it in full[/i]

From Website :

Preorder is 50% of RRP

unless I'm missing something?

Oh I see - did seem cheap.
Main page is a bit misleading though.
Should say £250 deposit.

ahh hadn't clicked further, that is a bit naughty 😳

Yeah, I was already tearing into the order process when I realised.

Very misleading... So there's not actually a discount for pre-ordering!?

Very nice...wondered when it was ever going to built.

Hope to (fingers crossed) place my order tomorrow.

Just working on forks 😕

Of...off

Sneaky way of phrasing things...

"like the Kona Honzo for example"
I could be misremembering/making this up, but I thought the honzo was single ring specific, ie you cant fit a front mech? I'm not sure

Looks like there'd be room for a front mech on this

There is.

The pics show routing for a front mech 🙂

I normally don't think 29ers look 'right', but that is GORGEOUS. 😛

That's the first 29er I've even looked twice at.

EDIT: Beaten to it! ^^^ Was too busy trying to phrase that correctly, but yes - it does, pretty much, look 'right'.

Very 'Firefly' shiny!

Blimey I was reaching for my bank card there until I realised the 250 was only a deposit.

Hey guys, just to clarify it's 50% deposit and 50% before shipping, no intention to be misleading I obviously didn't express it as well as I thought I had. You wouldn't have been able to move on through the payment system from the front screen without making the decision to "pay in full" or leave a deposit anyway but I've hopefully made the situation more clear on the site.
Thank you for the Sherpa appreciation guys 🙂
Oh an its a 35t chainring 😉 11-36 cassette and yes you can run a front mech, it's on an E-type mount.

I like very much

I have been umming and arring about weather I can justify the cost of changing my frame out since they announced this…

Is there a discount for starting such a nice thread about it?

Will the price likely go up for those who don't pre-order?
or is there a limited number made?

so close to ordering.....

I think its the high BB (25mm drop vs 70mm on a singular kite)

Just to point out that this is incorrect - the BB drop on the Sherpa is 50mm (I checked with Stanton).

anyone know:
- is it a tapered headtube?
- standard 135mm QR rear axle?

cheers

That colour is pure '94 Kona Lava Dome - love it!

looks like a 44mm headtube, not tapered. Has a standard QR in that picture.

'94 Kona Lava Dome

doesn't 44mm mean it can run tapered?
I'm confused

44mm can run tapered forks with an external bottom cup.

ah cool thanks
