Me thinks that a lot of those black STP's will be sold... Very Very nice lookin!
reminds me of my bike :D

[Cheazy]

Nice pics, lov that full black STP1. How much is it brand new?

[j5ive]

$1499 very good value. Only thing I dont like is the bars. Way to low.
The bashguards are actually some sort of plastic. Pretty beefy though.

[Scully]

I'd be getting ride of the bell and reflectors pretty quickly if I bought one, but they are very sick looking bikes.

[LTR]

theyre awesome, i love the silver paint!

[LEX]

Farking hell that black STP is nice. But i would change the bars. Sweet value aswell.

[TOSS3R]

sexy sexy little beasts...kinda re-instills my faith with giant a little...

[man]

i think i might purchase one of them stp1's.... the look the goods and are pretty well specced and with some upgrades would be a sweeeeeeeeet ride :D

[Mahoney_007]

Yup had a look at them today in the LBS, very sweet looking rides indeed. Specs look pretty bloody decent to me for that price range.

I think I'll ask for a ride when I go back to pick up my bike :wink:

[Superman]

omg the head angle on the black betty is pretty slack i reckon, even with 4" travel forks.
but then again a DJ bike doesnt need much travel

[Fritta]

Would anybody mind telling me what the RRP of the STP2 is?

Cheers,
FriTTa

[j5ive]

1095 i think

[Jordy]

$1050 at my lbs

[SPOON]

The black STP-1 looks awesome....... w/out the bell and reflectors it'll look even beta
if i had the money now i'd definitely get me one-of-those :)

is the only difference between the two, brakes and forks?

one has standard rhyno lites and one has the XL's ( a big upgrade )

[Fritta]

Thanx for the prices now all i have to do is save my money :D

yeah same here... rather similar to when Ford release a tricked-up concept car or something, and you can't help but like the look of it.

the geometry looks pretty sweet, as does the price. And it's a Giant, so you know it's going to be light :roll:

Hopefully they've used some decent tubing to build this thing, not the crap they make ACs from.

i think we'll be seeing a lot of these in the future...

hmmm.....the front end is almost exactly the same as an ac

[RaID]

very nice

good to see these types of bikes getting cheaper and cheaper
for new riders aswell as
second bikes for dually owners

[BiG BirD]

wow....nice bikes and at a good price.

[dh rider]

the whole back of the bike is the same as the trials team.
oh and shit it is light it could get blown away in the wind

[LZYBOY]

Oh yeah, the pedals are crap as well, slippery as all hell! I've whacked on a pair of V8's on mine... Sweet!

[sawtell]

hey guys, just wondering if any one knows if a shop in melb stocks them yet? i have been lookin round but no luck..

[Rik]

These things look interesting... I'm about to enter the market for a new bike, shame they wouldn't meet my "all day riding" requirements, as the price is damn right!

[sawtell]

i reckon they would be alright for all day ridein, if u got the bigger size, thats what i was thinkin any way

[naz]

whats with giant and there generic 100degree backward sweep farkers,
stp1 looks madd though

[ridemotocross]

very nice lookin bikes there, hope my crappy lbs gets some down

HAHAHA pwned

[downhill express]

and rims and some other stuff

[(ride)]

at my local bike shop
they are selling them and i have ridden them adn they are both sweet but i think it is worth saving up more for the black one just the smaller things that makes it so much better

[dutton04]

stp1 good value compared to kona stuff.
stp1 complete with bell. pretty nice value for money

[CAM]

anyone happen to know what the price is for a frame only? assuming they are available in frame only.

[Technica]

well ..... i got mine STP1 on layby .... how about you guys and galz

[scblack]

Raid wrote:second bikes for dually owners

Just what I'm thinking! I'm very close to popping down to get one.

One question if someone can answer it - do these forks come with 20mm axles? On these it does not look it, but how much would it be if you did that on purchase? Replace hub, fork, wheel rebuild? any ideas?

[Technica]

uummm

-fork .... around $800,
-wheel rebuild (plus spokes) ... that price can vary massively so i'll leave that blank
- the hub really depends on what your lookin for in quality ... $150 .... cheap?

is it really that important?

[scblack]

Technica, I am looking at change-over pricing, not simply buying another fork etc. You know, before I buy it, get the shop to swap parts for a 20mm fork. At that time, the change-over price should be reasonable.

So that if needed, I could put the DJ wheels on my DH bike (I would get the same rotors as DH bike).

[Technica]

ah alright, well i work in a bike shop and i know that when having parts swapped off a bike the shop will only buy then back for wholesale prices.

you'd prolly have to go to a store to find out but it wouldn't surprise me if they tryed to stick an extra $300-500 onto the price for the changes

[bikeman_baldrik]

does anybody know what the geometry of these frames is like? i'm lookin for a new frame and i like thise one but it means nothing to me without geometry.

[Maffew]

The STP's Geo fits me really well, Im loving every second im riding it.

[DOM]

does anybody know what the geometry of these frames is like? i'm lookin for a new frame and i like thise one but it means nothing to me without geometry.

I have a Small 14"

TT - 22"
BB - 12.8" approx ...
Stays = 16"

Total = FUN

ive been 4xing jumping .. sk8parking .. dhing mine .. and I love it.

I got mine as frame only though .. and built it myself.

[MrPlow]

What is the riding position like for general trail riding? I am 6'.

Can you ride them uphill?

[DOM]

u might want a large if your 6" .... they are more a Street Trail Park bike .. hence the name .. you might want something longer in the TT for climbing ? ... the Large is a 23" TT I think .. something along those lines.

[matty_2004]

I rode one of these babies today and i'm seriously debating selling my 2004 Craftworks frame and buying one because they seriously are incredible. . .they're awesome value with sick geo and i think i'd take one over any high end cnc beefed up frame.

Awesome bikes !


. . .Going to the bikeshop to see if they can get me a frame tomorrow :)

According to my LBS they will be in most WA stores in about 4 weeks (around the 19th of Oct). This may have changed as I was told this on Thursday? Hopefully they send them out quickly.. I don't wanna wait another 4 weeks for my STP1 I ordered about 2 weeks ago dammit! :P



Thanks
