Nice One Chris, some really nice craftsmanship gone into that & the colour is very cool

Beautiful!! How much are these frames?

Christhejob · « **Reply #5 on:** September 07, 2013, 08:48 PM »

A basic sta frame is $399, $80 shipping. Then you start tinkering with geometry (adapt for 22" wheels etc) and add OCD standard s logos brazed everywhere and the cost inches up, haha. But in all honesty it's not worked out THAT expensive, especially compared to buying a stock high end frame off the shelf in the UK... (Probably some denial going on here on my behalf,

)

yeah, that's a very nice frame. What's it like to ride?

Christhejob · « **Reply #12 on:** November 09, 2013, 11:14 AM »

Rides so nice! I had a wethepeople avenue 24 which was ok but only really for sloping about. This feels like a bmx, but the right size for me! 22" top tube helps, I am 6 ft 3.. The tall seatpost doesn't look out of place on this, my tall one on my 250s looks a bit odd..

Gratuitous s logo placements

Got one of those 34ride gyros at the cologne worlds, it's pretty nice..

Had to get a toys r us piranha tyre (!) from eBay for the rear, the f22 was just too fat to clear the brakes.. Although now I have it running I might try it again

Nice indeed. Are those the new Faction wheels?

Christhejob · « **Reply #16 on:** November 09, 2013, 03:35 PM »

That looks really good Chris

Thanks for all the compliments chaps. Really happy with how it turned out. Not sure about the plastic pedals, may have to go for some high polish metal platform pedals, but can't have any more parcels turning up for a while!
