Nice, looks great! Just one thing... your post is the wrong way around;)

[Zyphryss]

Fark, that does'nt even look like an STP anymore!!
Is the logo scratched up on purpose? Looks good actually...

And because it's an STP, I can't resist asking wot shokies are dey?
Seriously though, look like domains?

[Ant27]

you've done some sweet work to it mate, I see you have added Maxxis high rollers im gonna put these on my stp when i get it in a couple of weeks time. By the way what are those forks?

They dont look bent at all...just...uh...rustic...
66's are probably pushing it on an STP...seen a few floating around and they not only look rediculous, they probably handle like you would drive a boat. Your best bet would be say a set of Z1s/AMs or there abouts...the new 55s would also be worth a look but you will need a new hub though as most forks around that travel mark have a 20mm axel. The Z1s are probably the best bet on a budget though...

Good luck!

i know it would be pushing it, i want something with around 150/170 travel because i'm planning to buy a new frame. the hubs a QR/20mm hub so i'm all sweet with that.

thanks.

bahahaha. im new here so why does everyone bag STP's so much i had one and i loved it till i updated:)

ohhh and that is looking good what are you using it for it looks like a real downhill set up because i saw some hook worms on it before?

[morgo_mpx]

every stp my friends have had, something has gone wrong. its like there jinxed.
Besides that they have cheap parts. the only stp that i have seen that i would buy is the stp pro.

Umm are you just dumb or are you stupid?
Stp's have the best parts for the price they sell at.
And if they had shit parts why would half the mtbing world buy one?
(not trying to bag any stp owners out here)
Lastly he has some VERY good parts on there.


Looks good bud, cant wait to see the finnised product.

yeah i use it for downhill.
hookworms are for riding to school and just around the streets.
chain guide should be on very soon, new pictures soon.

[les_upunk]

yay new forks.
will be getting them lowed.
just need a chain guide - can some one give me the exact model e13 i can fit with saint cranks?

[kona_scrap]

ahahahaa that looks so rediculous at the moment. looks like a chopper.

once you get them lowered that will be one of the hottest stp's iv ever seen!!!:eek:

whats the weight on it?

[pinned--->]

E13 SRS or DRS if you want a front mech (which you won't)


Not a bad stp. :)

[mad dog22]

nice bike mate :):)
keep it up

[condog]

the 66's look the same angle as the dirt jams coz they were "bent":p
what travel u get them lowered to.
p.s u shld get a e.13 LG1 with a tarco on it.

E13 STS (36T) is one that comes on the STP 0 (diabolus cranks) and the STP pro (saint cranks). I imagine it would fit but can't say I know much about them, never used one for long enough.... oh and hint hint I'm selling mine off the STP 0 if you're interested (http://forums.farkin.net/showthread.php?t=115695)

Your Stp does look a bit strange with long forks, spose like mine looks strange with the seat post all the way up:D

STS is really just made for smaller chainrings. In his case (by the spec) it looks to be a trail build. So an SRS or LG1 would be the best two options.

There are plenty of other options too. Different brands etc. I run a race face diablos with an e13 bashy on my stp and it seems to do the job fine.

Cheers, I specified the 36T as I wasn't sure what he was running. Obviously the STS won't suit a dual ring set up or anything bigger than 36.

Geez that's some serious stopping power up front! Just noticed the rotor size.

[mr_casual]

wow that's a pretty wild stp you're going to have there..
my mate has those forks on a .243 racing frame, they can't turn past 90' because they don't go under the downtube!!

[Cippa]

bombers on an stp...hmm
get some pics up when they are lowered
