My new STP 1...

I got it brand new from the LBS. It's going really well. :)

I might chop the bars down a bit, they're very wide.

What do you all think i should upgrade?

I want to keep the gears for now, nthn beaches isn't exactly the flatest area... but eventually i might switch to single speed.

Cheers

Thanks mate.

As for the wide bars, my old bike had wide bars, but these are VERY wide haha. At times i find it good having the extra leverage etc but sometimes it just feels plain awkward. I'll keep them as they are for now, but it's maybe something i'll do later on down the track.

Goiod value rigs STPs are. I reckon just replace the parts as you break them, the only thing I would bother changing for the time being would be the hussetfelt cranks.

Its not the seat that snaps,
its the seatpost.

Thanks for the comments.

Just wondering if anyone can recommend a good seatpost and Saddle (combo) without going over the top on price.

Sweet Ride Man.

Keep the Bars the wider length for a little while and see if you like them before you cut 'em off.

Is that a reflector on the handlebars ?

Yeah i'll keep em wide for now...

I'm looking into seats etc as well.

And no it's not haha it's the brake lever

Also what's peoples opinions on going single speed?

Yeah matt, i've gotta get up there again soon, is it flooded with all this rain though?

Also I'm thinking of selling this and buying a 24incher, what sort of money do you think this bike is worth. Taking into account i bought it at the beginning of this year brand new from the LBS.

Cheers

Sick bike mate, do you prefer SS to gears? Did you take your front brakes off?
NickM91
27-04-2008, 05:30 PM
Yeah i prefer SS to gears greatly! I still find my self reaching to change the gears every now and then, but it's good, you get up the hills a lot faster :P

Yeah front brake is off.

I'm about to put it up for sale though.

Check the for sale section if your interested.

Cheers

DO NOT CHOP THE BARS DOWN AT ALL!!
it feels awful. i no some one who chopped their bars down and its awful, please do not do it.
and yes change the hussetfelt cranks, mine broke on my 07 stp1 after like 3 months, i got given holzfellas because it was all under warrenty, my bro has hussetfelt cranks on his bike which are also broken.
