Tall_Rob Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Here it is....... Simtra ST-1.Bike thanks to Tartybikes.co.uk Stan for packing it, Ali for checking it, Adam for taking me money, and Dave............For being Dave New forks, frame and rear rotor.My KOT MS2 was cracked and i think was the real reason behind my Pro II's blowing up every two months.Only some sample pictures at the moment but will get some of Spode and myself out riding soon on the fleet.Might have to change the colour of the bars to silver and sort out a better bash but other than that i'm very happy. Liking the BB height, should be great for comps and the spins.......oh, 720, here i come. I like very much...RobThinkbikes.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Plod Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 I'm liking it Rob. What made you choose the Simtra then? Looks nice though. Look forward to riding (Sitting and doing nothing whilst the rest ride ) with you again soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tall_Rob Posted July 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Thanks for the comments guys.All the blue is growing on me but would def prefer silver bars and new grips are on my shelf. Just gonna have to wait till it all breaks before new bits again.Thanks to Joe Rothwell for the stickers... finishes it off nicely.Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 (edited) F-Hat rear disk, guess it needs to be that big, to support all of your tallness! Looks nice though Rob, one will have to mug one off for a go next time we meet / In the words of kennard, mind if i pikey a go?

Or hop? or off a wall?Anyway mint bike, bet it rides a dream, dual disc bikes are smooth to ride, dual disc bikes with a higher bb are smoooooooooooth to ride.

Muel Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 That is gorgeous mate, I love that rear disc as well, its huge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.McMillan Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 that is really nice, how do you find the rear disc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall_Rob Posted July 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Rear discs are great, been using one for over 6 months now and have never had a problem or slip.Liking the frame lots, feels like my old pitbull but with disc got a clean 1+3/4 spin yesterday so nearly got it. My ankle is still twitchy after being in a cast but have loads of energy to keep going and trying new things. My 360 gap is coming along nicely too.RobThinkbikes.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spode@thinkbikes Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 It's amazing how much difference the stem makes. It's almost identical to mine in spec, but with his huge stem it rides SO differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
