Looks almost industrial.
I love it

Great build, looks fantastic. I agree the forks are a great match. Where did you get them? Never seen them before.
I had an STS frame in 1998 that developed a terminal crack in the middle of the downtube despite having very light use for a few months only. It was replaced by the dealership with an STS 1000 DS with no quibbles but I wondered if the STS readership here had any trouble with the frames? I guess the thermoplastic application to frames was new then and wonder if my experience was a one off or a common thing?

Never thought I'd do it but I'll be selling the STS. I'll take some final pix on the weekend and then I'll split it for parts.
The frame will go with the HS33's attached as I've already done the internal routing. The forks will be sold seperately with the coveted disk mount and manual. Other goodies include caramba sidewinder cranks with cnc machined caramba rings. I haven't decided on any prices yet.
A sad day indeed, but I just like my San Andreas so much and have not ridden the STS more than 10 times since. I think it's feeling unloved...
