    The Giant STP is a sweet little frame, and appears to be the new favourite.

    Reasons for hating GT Chuckers:

    1)I snapped one manualling...
    2)My mate snapped one doing Blunts/Abubacas...
    3)My other friend bent one doing a 4 set [:|]


    STP.
    Definately the best for your budget.




    Enjoy x

    If they snapped doing all that then you lot must be very unsmooth and crap.
    I used to ride on a cheapo XC bike and did more than that and never snapped it.

    to be honest, on most of the forum pages were people assk about a new bike and are on abudget, they never ever ever ever look at the blinking reader adds or look for a second hand bike, the money you spend on a new bike is a waste, has anyone ever bought a bike and kept it completely stock for more than a year, and i mean serious bikers. you will spend even moer trust me!!!!!

    look for a second hand one mate youll fair alot better and prob have a nice ride than your friends haha!!!!
