my sancheas it was setup rigid for street and dirt but after getting the dob the frame just sat in the garage so i put it together with the other parts lying in the garage for a freeride hucker and im slowly upgrading the parts, next are the wheels
@monotokpoint: Really nice build up man. It's funny that STD come in so many variations. How are those Hope Brakes? Cheers
Thanks Signit. Brakes are pretty sweet. I changed the original hope braided hoses for Goodridge ones. Feel much better (and I think look a bit better in black too). I think I may change the discs for the vented ones soon, as there was some fade after a while when I was in The Alps recently. Bit pricey tho!
my guess is around 41 pounds. i know my buddies new gen STD is about 39 ish. old frame was 1.5 pounds more.
Yeah, that's about right. I'm almost 200lbs in my gear, and I wanted stiffness above anything else, so it's fine really. But I've seen STD builds that are a lot lighter, and that does get me thinking I could've at least paid a little attention to weight when I put it together. Oh well.
the build in itself isnt that bad weight wise. a good 1/4-1/3 of the weight is in the frame. my shocker frame is 11 pounds and its the newest one. they shaved one pound from the old shocker. and 1.5-2 pounds depending on frame size from the old STD frame.
yeah its not the cleanest but hey this is was a cove should look like. swapped out bars and bash recently. will have to try and get a clean photo up. i neglected the bike recently after buying a heckler but couldnt deal with not riding my cove. Was like missing a leg so selling the heckler and back to the best.
