Hairy Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 looks flipping good!! Will be doing so this weekend, just added the Pike:
pk007za Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 looks flipping good!! Thanks ! dropped to 120mm or still going large?. Fork came as a 140mm, decided to give it a try...seat angle is not _tooo_ bad..
cpelser Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 My Large complete build will go up for sale soon. This one HERE. Also have a spare large ST-R frame. If anyone is keen... Huh what? I'm keen on a Large frame if you still have it.
cpelser Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Thanks ! Fork came as a 140mm, decided to give it a try...seat angle is not _tooo_ bad..Think I've got a 130mm Pike airspring for you if you're interested.
pk007za Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Think I've got a 130mm Pike airspring for you if you're interested. Thanks I have a 120mm lying around as well in case it needs it. Have a good feeling about the 140mm though...
I FLY Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 My one posing at the Shell Ultra in Matlosana on New year's day.
Hairy Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 sorry for you ... that large frame is mine already there is always the full build bike for sale Huh what? I'm keen on a Large frame if you still have it.
TAAHIRWP Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Medium frame didnt fit too nicely, so i decided to go get a SmaLL.... Pics taken after my homeward #commute Yesterday. A subtle touch by MomSen... Enjoy(ing) this vieW.. and just because :-)
Arries87 Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Loving this thread! I have a 184km round trip work commute every day, terrible damage to the environment with the exhaust fumes, maybe this will be better? The itch is really bad with this one...

Headshot Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 I reckon this would work as a 650B with a 160 mm fork to add some proper slack geo. Then it would be fun. 69 HTA is not exactly out there is it?

Then it would be fun. 69 HTA is not exactly out there is it? Remember that with every 20mm of fork length increase, HA adjusts about 1 degree slacker and SA about 0.5 degrees.
Hairy Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 you may be onto something, but the seat angle will be on the slack side. recon there also needs to be room out their for a bike that is not pushing the long travel and super slack angles game too hard, something that is still sharp in the handling dept ... especially if it is running as a SS and the rider will be spending a fair bit of time out of the saddle grinding up the climbs.

pk007za Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 I think 140mm for this frame is the absolute max...
The MTBer Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Just a quick question to all of you riding the 'new' LSG STR frames... What size would you recommend for me, I am 1.9m tall (that said I am between a L and XL) I want to use the bike for longer distances and using it for trial riding, I am leaning towards an XL
Hairy Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 I am 1.78m and have only tested a medium frame ... the frame coming to me is a large, the medium was just a little too short in the reach. What frame are you currently riding and how does the reach compare to the STR's geometry? Just a quick question to all of you riding the 'new' LSG STR frames... What size would you recommend for me, I am 1.9m tall (that said I am between a L and XL) I want to use the bike for longer distances and using it for trial riding, I am leaning towards an XL
