Here's mine, built up last year from scratch, rather like it to be honest.. Built up a reasonably well specced bike quite cheap by shopping around and a few second hand bits of here!

Here's mine, please excuse the minging instagram photo, it hurts my eyes.

Cheers guys, are you running 120mm forks they look quite slack at the front

I WANT AN ST 4! Can't find one anywhere.

I purchased frame only from bike scene at guisborough not too long ago, they were selling them off half the original price as they are now discontinued, check out there website...

I broke my first one, but this one was fantastic.

I did love the old one, but it was a bit flawed.

New one was a lot stiffer at the back tho

Sold it to a fella on here when I bought my rocket and he loves it!

Oh it's fine with a 120mm fork. Perfect I'd say. I had a reba black box on mine and it was great.

I’ve been offered a SH 2010 one, is it worth going for?

I got mine from Bikescene too. I've only just lowered it from 130mm to 120mm but haven't tried it yet, hopefully I like it more as I'm not really liking it at the moment.

Another Bikescene special. After waiting tooo long for a nukeproof mega in xl to arrive I went for the ST4 instead. Superb bike. I've just removed the spacer on forks to make them 140mm. Will I die?

Yep

Quite a bit of a different bike to a mega, what made you go for the ST4?

After waiting for the mega I just wanted anything at the time. For the money it seemed perfect and to be honest its the best buy i've made re bikes so far. It might not handle big stuff as well as the mega but then again I tend to do more riding around Gargrave and Malham now so I dont need a big travel bike. I've still got a spec enduro if I feel the need for something bigger.

I wish I lived up your way, flat as a flat thing here 🙁
Glad you're enjoying it, they were a good price weren't they. It will be interesting to hear what you think of it at 140mm.

I'll let you know what they are like (so long as I live)

Sold it to a fella on here when I bought my rocket and he loves it!

Yep, I do love that bike...

It's changed a little but not much in the short time I've owned it but it's such a willing bike and great fun to throw around.

I've got a 130 mile off road ride coming up at the end of May and I feel it could be the perfect bike for it!

cheers guys well i picked up the frame today and built her straight up (thanks st4anly) here she is only been around the car park so far, but will be testing her properly tommorow.

Great colour! So that is the updated chainstays and rocker, so should be sweet for strength.
I found it fussy over shock set up - it does not sag much it seems to get that nice spot of sprightly yet opens up when needed. The sag gauge on seatstay is pretty accurate.
Enyjoy it, especially round big, fast, bermy corners where the low n longer frame seems ace 🙂

Is anyone else's back end wonky?

Definitely the frame and not the wheel?

Yeah unfortunately 🙁 brand new wheel and I checked it with the dishing tool. It isn't just a little out really either, considering the price they are.
