:buck2:
sorry couldn't help it.
Very Nice Indeed.
-
very nice, brings back memories of my old one :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:
-
so is the blue one a new school sta?
i must say when i saw the chrome one when i was down last it looked mint, and it looks just about as mid as it could there, nice job as always mate :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:
-
yep the blue ones a week old
-
they all look super clean, how are u enjoying the new sta?
-
love it love it smooth well balanced love it :smitten:
-
sweet
must say mate the chrome one is ticking all the right boxes, not seen one as clean as that since i last rode with si from fluffy toy, but his was claret
-
im awaiting to get shot in the face from laz for this build thou.
-
how come?
-
thats really nice dan they all are to be honest loverly
whats the plate on top of the back brake though ?
-
it keeps everything snug
laz just like to bully me ,torment me and shoot me :angel:
i bend to his superiority in the land of the standard creation sbc
-
lol, ive still never owned a standard
but that blue sta is mint
but im still feeling the new school dirt bike :) :)
-
cheers
i havent even got to phil yet , hes gonna rant ,i think i can hear him from coventry as we speak :police:
-
lol
sounds like i should make a sharp exit before they come for u lol
-
hi dan
thats is very nice, can you send me a close piccy of the fork decal.
is it the same as the top tube
thanx
-
:daumenhoch: STUNNING... Looks pristine. :smitten:
-
STAs are nice to ride - solid. Had a chrome one just like yours but like most with the folds on the back end - it bent. The ones without the folds were really good, rode one of those for a couple of years too.
-
rory they are the same decal,i will measure tomorrow .
thanks to
laz
jj baldbmxer
dingo
wildon
del
generalee mr wilson
and anyone else im forgetful for getting the parts i was missing or found :daumenhoch:
-
cheers dan :daumenhoch:
-
daniel!
well what can i say......
i like it. looks very nice, i'd like to see it next to laz's lengthy!
the only thing i'd personally change, just to keep the 94 look is the tyres. they're a bit later on in mid for that bike, but its a beautiful build.
on to more pressing matters though, the new S.T.A. i would have ordered my new frame by now but my money is tied up in paypal and its giving me some grief. whats the final weight of the frame?
-
yes yes and yes.
i miss my sta(s)
see you went for the same blue as me. rock on. more pics of the 09 please.
don't listen to laz and phil whadda they know, they didn't get to iowa until 2001 ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
-
99!
-
fair enough phil!
xxx
-
any chance of you getting to mk this year chris with the shamen. i'm thinking along with dan and laz and any other standard rarities we could put the line up together, kind of a standard stand!
-
maybe!! as long as i don;t knack myself again playing footy.. can bring #1 also!
-
i will get a bike check in the new school area ,its not actually finished yet chris
awaiting wheels and a few bits but nearly there.
the 09 frame came in at 5.5LB but as a complete its just over 25.4LB with 4 pegs 2 brakes and 2 hub guards
so should come in at 24 ish as a normal rider
and yes chris your blue inspired me .
-
phil i was kinda stuck on a few parts being available..mid school is as ever hard to find stuff
i got some peregrine madd max wheels last week but to late and tioga comp tyres i was going to run on it 2.1 but will look again another day.
-
Very nice Dan, very nice.
I almost got an STA when they were first out. I didnt like the platforms (and the shortness) of the first standards but I thought the STA was very nice. If the chain stays didnt hang down so low I might well have got one :-[
-
cool Dan, well done - I personally dont mind any mid school bikes having later or earlier parts - its just how we rode them - upgraded a little later on, or threw old stock form shops on when they were cheap - so those tyres work for me totally.
And the new STA looks fun, good on you for riding a solidly made frame of a respectable weight - kind of like the new Dirtbike in ethos - I love that new STA!
-
its possibly the only one in the uk or one of only a small number.
-
wow! extremly nice sta :smitten: ive always really like these,they ride nice. perfect parts on it. :daumenhoch:
and yes its true about finding mid parts. i wouldnt say the tires are off era. this is a 94/95 sta? and the vmonster was available in 95. i saw quite a few stas back then that looked exactly like this. id say its spot on.
-
god damn....... you build some awesome bikes mate :daumenhoch:
