Hey, well I'm not selling my STP1, but i'd recommend something else. STPs are a popular bike, but they break so easily. Unless you are planning to upgrade it (hubs are a must!!!) then i personally wouldn't buy one (if i already hadn't). But thats me, i dunno, i may have just gotten a dodgy one..... :p

how do you mean they break easily? do you mean the parts? the frame? is this from experience?

I've snapped too many drop outs and derailurs on it. The bottom bracket on mine is twisted, pedals are bent slightly. The hubs are the most dodgiest hubs ever. I finally upgraded mine to some da-bomb headspin, which are much better.
I don't particualy like the bash guard either, it doesn't last longwhen you grind on it, compared to alot of others. I found if you buckle you're back wheel with the dodgy hubs, the wheel nearly hits the sides of the frame. But I can't complain about the stem and bars, theres something i like about them thatmakes me the only person around my local skateparks and trails that hasn't changed his stp bars.
