looking at the stp for next season.
- Thread starter Bizket325
- Start date
okie dokie thanks. will go check it out.
i was looking at the specs and im not an expert on components in any way, but the specs look pretty good to me, and its not the ss by the way. and the frame i got now is a has a 20" TT i dont think an extra 2" should be too much of a difference. thanks for the input guys.
wow, okay maybe it will be a big difference but im pretty sure ill be able to adjust to it. and its kinda rediculous (sp?) being picky over a 1/4 inch, that cant feel like its that much bigger.
i like my long stp, but i mostly ride urban on it.
while i think that nitpicking a 1/4" is a little over the top, i think a 2" difference is gonna be tough to adjust to.
going to a frame 2" longer is gonna mess with your ability to keep the front wheel up -manualling- and your ability to keep it down -railing corners.

well i may not have measured exactly from "point a to point b" but its like 20-21" i just went out and measured really quick. but im pretty sure i could adjust well, it may take a few rides but i think ill be able to, and thanks for lettin me know all.
anyone ca nadjust to any bike and he may find that he rides better with a longer top tube....ya never know. i went from a P1 to a sould cycles titan and they are very different and adjusted fine...ended up riding muck better on the soul than i did on the P1...i would however try to test ride one if possible.
and for kicks, what would be a good DJ fully. i will prolly be able to afford something around 2500-3000 at the very most, but that would be around the end of summer, begining of fall which wouldnt matter. and i got a ironhorse yakuza aniki, not the best freeride fully, but i thought with a new fork and rear shock do you think it would work? if so would you be able to recomend a good fork and rear shock for dj's, and maybe some other parts, right now its all stock except for a halo rear wheel. and im not really a weight weenie, so im open to alot of suggestions. thanks.
lol, damn it i shoulda been kinda specific on that one. my lbs doesnt do business with any of them. well atleast not the one i go to. they sell santa cruz, giant, jamis, dk but i dont think they make fullys, i believe they deal with intense, and a few others i cant think of right onow, but ill make sure they do or dont deal with transition. thanks for the suggestions though, if the nearest transition dealer is close enough ill look into a bottle rocket. thanks again.
Well Morewood gives employees of ANY shop employee cost, so keep that one in mind. The guys there are great to work with and very helpful.
Intense makes a Tazer mountaincross bike. If you're smooth it could work.
Santa Cruz makes the Blur 4X, a great all-round trail/jump/play bike.
Giant makes more XC/trail bikes than 4X but I've seen Trances modified for 4X and light jumping and they look money.
Jamis makes the Dakar which is in the same boat as the Trance.
With Transition, the Bottlerocket is more slopestyle and the Double is more DJ, so I don't know which sounds better as far as what you're doing. They're also a cool company, it'd be worth shooting them an e-mail and seeing if they do a Morewood-esque discount at all.

alright, thanks alot youve helped out quite a bit. ill deffinatly check into some of those, there is a specialized dealer that is basically as far away as the lbs i normall go to. would a sx trail I be something to look in to. i know berrecloth (sp?) was doin slopstyle i believe it was on a what i think was a sx trail right? thanks again.
well i guess it would be more along the lines of freeriding. and possibly some simple and easy DH. kinda like big jumps, and some drops etc etc. and depending on where i go there might be some "obstacles". its just like a mix of freeride, DH, and slopstyle sorta stuff. and im kinda leaning towards the SX Trail, mostly because it seems to be the best thing close buy thats a complete not just a frame, isnt specifically freeride or dh, or xc. and the lbs i go to mostly like i said sells intense, santa cruz-which is mostly beyond the price range, giant-the only thing i can think of getting is the new fr glory, or the faith and those are more like specifically freeride and dh. and the closest transition dealer is out of state or on the other side of the state literally. so im seriously considering the sx trail I. and i think this is enough ranting for now, and as usual thanks a ton for the help and what not.
if there isnt a dealer close to you call transition, they sell direct under such cases, plus they are nice and will answer any Q's you might have, or try mailorder thru dropnzone, Allen deals lots of other brands
alright, i will seriously look into that. the bottle rocket looks like such a nice ride, and that and the sx trail would be perfect for what im doing, thanks to the both of you.
Honestly I think an SX Trail is the bike for you. I rode my buddys and immediadely asked him if he would trade for my Demo 8. When they're set up right you don't have to worry about them and they kill everything. They're soooo fast on the DH too!
The Bottlerocket's a bit more freeride, with less travel, so less DH, but it's a damn nice bike too. Either way you'll end up w/ a sick ride w/ either of those 2.
alright man. i was kinda leaning toward the sx trail just because it would be easier to get a hold of it, rather than callin and askin to send it directly to my house. and like you said thesx trail would be better on the dh, and the closest resort, if thats what ya wanna call it, is more or less downhill. and as i keep getting better dh'ing i could probably just upgrade the bike a bit as i go. that and ive been working on a bit of freeride oriented stuff, a few good sized jumps, and a drop or two, luckily my family owns 12 acres of unused land for me to work with 
thanks again for helping me out with this decision, even though it wont be till next summer, maybe into fall 
but thats ok.
