Back in '97 I bought a new LTS 4000,just over a year later it was stolen from my house.I always fancied a replacement so I bought myself this frame for Xmas.I finished building it a few days ago,haven't been for a proper ride on it yet.This one differs from the other STS on the site,the seat post is further forward and offers about half an inch of adjustment,I had to cut 2 inches off the post to get it right.

Loving the STS! I had one many years ago (10+ showing my age) and I loved it! The carbon frame looked Sick, but it broke.. on the down tube at the steerer tube join. One of the saddest days of my life! Glad you are still keeping the STS alive!!

I love these bikes and they continue to outperform their modern counterparts.
