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.

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?

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!
Title: Re: me new standard
Post by: christhejob on March 12, 2009, 11:17 PM

Post by: harris on March 13, 2009, 07:25 AM
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  :-[
Title: Re: me new standard
Post by: generallee on March 13, 2009, 02:35 PM
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!
Title: Re: me new standard
Post by: harris on March 13, 2009, 02:51 PM
its possibly the only one in the uk  or one of only a small number.
Title: Re: me new standard
Post by: condor96 on March 23, 2009, 06:26 AM
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.
