Re: Frame advice/comparison help - STS vs Amp B5
Sts 2. Been interested in one ever since I saw one outside my local tube station and saw it slowly stripped of parts. Owner must have been crazy to leave it there for weeks. Any sort of advice you have on them, rear shock longevity/servicing, bushing replacements etc. I've got a ton of amp spares so this could be a journey into the unknown.

I've got 3 Lts's , but beyond cleaning and greasing ,not had to do anything to them
BETD do bush kits ,shocks are RS deluxe coup deluxe and pretty reliable , but you can fit fox air shocks
With a bit of work
Just check for damage around the b/b shell , they can crack thru the threads

Cheers for the advice, much appreciated. I am trying to trade a frame for a frame. Would I be crazy to consider swapping a yo eddy or dekerf for a low mileage example? I'm thinking possibly, but value your opinion, you've not steered me wrong so far.mikee":2597912s said:
Having had a B4 and a few LTS's, personally would go for an LTS again.
The ride is similar and i imagine a B5 will be almost identical in feel and active suspension action, but the LTS was a bit more solidly made and less prone to bearing wear (though the flipside being that the parts are easier to get and probably cheaper)
