  Yep! Makes no sense, right? Or, you could look at it as having a really fun full suspension for under $1000. This bike originally retailed for $800 and this one is arguably way better for about the same cost. I also look at the potential to repurpose these upgraded parts on another bike in the future. Bike parts are a little like Legos in that you can take stuff apart and put it back together with different stuff. This is a hobby (playing with bikes and making crummy youtube videos).

Since its potentially next to nothing for the bike - do you think a newby cyclist will happy with it. Or should I just the Ozark Trail Explorer everyone is blowing a gasket over.

  Not so much a tire choice, but what I already had laying around. I was going to mount the Goodyears I have on the stock wheels, but simply got lazy and just tossed these wheels and tires on. They work better than expected! Funny thing about the dropper is it is the same weight as the stock seatpost which is made of steel. The only added weight there was the dropper lever, cable, and housing. Sure, I coukd drop a good chunk of weight if I used an aluminum rigid seatpost, but dropper posts have become a necessity for me.

  @aaronbehindbarsАй бұрын

  That's a great question! The narrow handlebar with the long stem is going to be terribly uncomfortable for me and I know this bike is going to ride horribly with that stiff 1-1/8" rigid fork. It's displayed on the wall of my home office and likely to remain there for the next 20-30 years. Last year, I picked up a late 80's Reflex ALX89 which was built by Raleigh using the same Easton E9 tubing, but in smaller diameters and the bike has a 1" curved/tapered leg fork. Even that bike rides a little harsh and buzzy, but has my preferred geometry of taller/wider bars with a shorter reach. It's a good around town sorta bike.

  The angle of rear shock is kind odd. The rear triangle also goes slightly up towards the pivot point for the shock, also the fork for the other joint for reat shock seem thin. Dont know why but this geometry and angle of the rear coil just feels like its break ready so for sure it isnt for any jumping or agressive ride. Good lookin, best for its price but nonsence in some details.

• 
  @aaronbehindbars2 ай бұрын

  I don't think it's that weird. The layout is pretty similar to a Santa Cruz Superlight. I'm not an engineer, but the upper/forward shock mount looks like it spreads the load along a wider section of that top tube. Additionally, under the compression, the load forces going into the shock are going to be more or less parallel to the top tube, so you probably don't have a tone of shearing forces that would try to pull those shock mount tabs down and break away from the top tube. I will concede that the overall construction of the rear triangle and those forward shock mounting tabs are fairly light. This is not an all-mountain/enduro/aggressive trail bike. It's for XC and lighter trail use which is what I'm doing with it. I have Specialized Stumpjumper and a Specialized Levo for when I want to ride more aggressively. I ride single track and keep the bike close to the ground. It's designed for that usage and I don't have any real concern that it will not hold up to that usage. Anything is possible and I am ok with tossing the frame in the bin if it fails. Thanks for watching and I appreciate the discussion.

  Hi Aaron. After 18+ months with the ST100 un-assembled waiting in the basement, i finally assembled it today. All went together smoothly, but riding it, i feel the desire to sit further back that where the saddle is. I adjusted the saddle backwards on the soldered track. It's a L size and I am 5:10. I also just received the 520 and 530S from Curated both in L size. Oops. I need to quickly assemble the 520 next to try it out if it fits better. Should I get an XL?

• 
  @aaronbehindbars3 ай бұрын

  I think at 5'10", the large should be the ideal size. That said, I haven't seen the 520 in a large size to know how it compares to the XL I had. I did have a 530S in a large frame that I ordered after I ordered my XL 530S. Reason I got that one was because curated sent me a $20 account credit and a 15% off code, so I paid $178 including the 8.25% sales tax...couldn't resist. The large 530S was noticeably smaller than the XL. In fact, the S, M, and L sizes all have the same seat tube length. They only differ in top tube length and head tube length (actually, the M and L). The L did seem pretty small, more like a big medium or what Trek calls a ML. The XL 530S is the smallest XL frame bike I've owned. The frame design has a low standover, so you might not have any issue there. Still, I think the L will work for you because I mostly noticed the smallness in the seat tube length and stack height (which is a how tall the front end is). Decathlon recommends the L frame 530S for 5'9" to 6'0". I would say that needs to be adjusted to 5'8" to 5'11".
