4X Giant STP

[Nick53]

Only had this bike for about 2 months but so far it has been so, so much fun. Ride it most days on everything except for downhill. Haven't really changed anything on it at all since I bought it apart from giving it a fair bit of TLC to get it all running fresh.

Pretty happy with how the bike is currently. Only things that will change are the tyres to a Schwalbe Nobby Nic/Racing Ralph combo as well as getting rid of the heavy duty tubes for lighter ones. This will hopefully drop the weight into the 10kg range. Eventually will get higher rise bars (currently thinking Sunline V1 38mm rise @ 711mm width) and contemplating clipless pedals.

Absolutely brilliant.

Absolutely brilliant.

Thanks man. Just order some new Schwalbe rubber for it as well so that should get it lighter by a fair bit (considering the front is a 2-ply downhill tyre). Also will probably run it tubeless so again more weight saved.

Apart from that I'm happy with it except I might get some higher rise bars and maybe a new seat/post because this seat comes loose very often. Such a fun bike to ride anyway. Couldn't be happier.
