Looks Likes Palmers Old M1 For cairns... whoooooooo

For a giant i like it ....

What do you think ?

 

[Fatman]

I still hate the Sucks The Pus, but that one looks the business. One redeeming feature is that they compete with a stock frame, albeit with a sick paint job.

 

[Mr jesus]

Definately one of the nicest STP's ive seen, besisdes that one that Naz posted....

 

[Red Rocket]

I think aesthetically it is very pleasing, but I can imagine there are quite a few parts I would replace to make it a little more functional.

Clichèd enough paintjob? Yeah ok it's nicely done... but wow, stars and stripes. Like everyone didn't already know that you were in America or something.

 

[Jared]

its painted that way coz she was national champ, not coz shes just american,
she would have wanted something to stand out at world cups where you have to run national champ colours of your country.

So that's why the Yeti is Turquoise (greenish) and gold?

Makes a bit more sense, but still pretty cliche'd imo.

I wonder what the weight would be like with such a spec - gotta be around 24 lbs i reckon - may be lighter with those hot XTR wheels, Forx etc. Totally 'radical' though.

 

[Spooky]

Mmm that does look racy. Anyone know what kind of WTB saddle that is?

 

[bradh]

It's a pity that there's no facility for comments to be added to cyclingnews's photos...

If this were a full-suspension bike a seat set this far back and dropped this low would probably bottom out on the rear tire.

Ahhh... no shit.

 

[DWNHLR01]

Just another STP to me...Nothing special

 

[villy]

mmm ugly me thinks but thats just me.

 

[Butch]

Dukes Of Hazzard ! okay , ill be quite now ... nice paint job i guess

 

[fastrider gus]

i rekon that paint job looks pretty cool actually.. she'd wanna be spot on with every jump though, doesnt look as if it'd take much punishment at all..

 

[Jared]

Makes a bit more sense, but still pretty cliche'd imo.

cliche...maybe, but if you were national champ, especially when your from the same country as Jill Kintner, would'nt you want to show it off, and get some mileage out of it?

Looks ok, one of the better national paint jobs, but not to my taste.

Palmer's M1 was a FAR cooler paintjob if you have to have stars and stripes. Can't find a pic though, but the way it was airbrushed it looked 3d, like a flag flapping in the wind but frozen, awesome...

 

[Speedy]

Paint job is average but its American so it gets the thumbs down from me, red blue and white just dont go esecialy when its...well American, sorry if some US people here get offended I know not all, well i just cant be bother but yeah and it is an STP Zero points for originality

its just a selle italia slr, or similar lightweight seat, with a different cover on it
