Standard STA-500

Rating:

The Good: Strong, light, custom order available, looks, stability, paint... I haven't found anything about this frame I don't like.

The Bad: Cost... Is about it.

Overall:

I've been riding my custom ordered STA for several months now and primarily I ride street/park. It's a 21.25" TT, brakeless (no mounts) and its honestly the best frame I've ever ridden out of the 15-20 frames I've had. Very stable, no hang ups on grinds at all, amazing feel and controllability. I can't say enough good things about this frame. I have wanted one for years and years and finally got one, now it's all I ride. If you have the money and are hard on bikes and want an amazing all around frame get one if these. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.

Shadow Noctis Crank

Rating:

The Good: Light, good lookin' cranks, good feel, colors, strong.

The Bad: Bolt heads on the clamping bolts could sit in more recessed or flush so they don't get trashed on grind f-ups and bashes lol.

Overall:

I love the cranks, good price as all things go. Lots of unique colors to choose from, very solid aluminum crank. Shadow did these right.!

Another solid T1 frame!

Rating:

The Good: Very solid, controllable feel. Good weight, yet doesn't sacrifice strength. Feels great riding street and park, like I said it is very controllable and has agile response. High quality US made frame.

The Bad: I can't say anything bad about it actually. Little bit long feeling in the rear end sometimes but only noticeable at times. Could just be me lol. Oh yeah the brake mounts do kinda come loose but I ride brakeless so it doesn't matter to me, just put a dab of loctitie on them (posts).

Overall:

I'd definitely buy another one and would recommend to a friend. I'd like to get one of the other T1 frames too, maybe an SFA and see what it's like. I love this frame though and I like to buy/sell frames but I'll keep this one ;)

S&M does it again!

Rating:

The Good: Super strong for its weight, strong for any frame, great geometry an feel, made in USA! Super light and has a great response

The Bad: Paint but that's it!

Overall:

The LAF is solid, Light As Fuck, but solid ;) perfect street, park, dirt frame that helps huck goo sized shit due to the fact it weighs nothing! I love mine, go buy one!

One of the best frames I've ridden

Rating:

The Good: Great geometry, perfect weight, rear end length couldn't be any better for a 25/9 setup with a half link chain, I can stuff the biggest tires I have on it! Oh and it's USA made by Solid!

The Bad: Nothing! I got mine used and got a helluva deal so I can't complain about price but some might if they pay msrp. But there are many more expensive frames out there.

Overall:

Quickly became my favorite and "daily" frame. I try to ride American made frames, makes me me confident in them lol. the frame has such a good feel and geometry thy it became my first pick to ride of my two bikes. Pick one up and shred away, it will stand up to anything ya dish out!

Eastern Ultralight Fork

Rating:

The Good: Strong as fuck, I like the straight legs (not tapered), paint held up well.", good geo and design.

The Bad: Nothing really, aluminum top caps are driving me nuts lately tho, this one was stripped when I bought the fork, (purchased used), some people will complain about the weight but if you are a whiney weight weeney, don't buy em!

Overall: Awesome fork, strong and durable, personally I like the weight and a little heft in my bike, (feels solid and strong. ) buy these forks if you ride your bike hard and need something that will hold up to a good beating. I bought them used and they still haven't given me any issues whatsoever.

Rating:

The Good: Great feel and response, strong, good paint and I dig the color (mines dark flat purple), great geometry.

The Bad: Dumb graphics, that's ok peel the stickers off and it looks great!

Overall: I love it, feels great and so far has held up great, sturdy as f@ck and, fits a nice fat rear tire.

S&M race stem

Rating:

The Good: Sturdy, light, good anno colors.Made in the USA!!!

The Bad: Two piece cap is both good and kinda annoying but not a big deal at all.

Overall: Love it, great stem, even came with a quality Allen wrench!

Cinema Tungsten female front wheel

Rating:

Demolition momentum

Great fork

Rating:

The Good: Strong, good geometry, nice color (mines matte blue), good paint!

The Bad: Cap stripped out (@allen key), would've been nice if they made the key hole deeper rather than just the thickness of the cap.

Overall: Great fork, need to trim steerer tube and get a new cap!

Still my favorite

Rating:

The Good: Picked a almost new one up a few months ago and it has instantly become my favorite frame, my "daily" if you will lol. Strong as f*ck and I thrash it just about every day. I love the feel and geometry of it and even though it's a few years older than some of my other frames it's still just as advanced and feels perfect!

The Bad: Nothing! I would like if it had a little wider stays to run a wider rear tire, my 2.25's and 2.3's don't fit if it's slammed, so a 2.1 is the perfect size for it.

Overall: 14 out of 10, wish they kept making it!

Great frame!

Rating:

The Good: AWESOME dropout design, probably makes other brands go "why didn't we think of that?!", strong, great geometry, holds up thru abuse!

The Bad: I can't say anything bad, I love mine and haven't had an issue with it.

Overall: Great frame, awesome innovative design, great feel and response! Buy one!

One of the best stock wheels

Rating:

The Good: Strong, light, LHD, has held up through lots of abuse!

The Bad: The bad??? Can't find it yet! Other than spokes coming a little loose but no big deal!

Overall: Great wheel, I like the fact it's still very strong while being light. I am not a weight weeny do usually I have heavier wheel sets but this has the best of both worlds. Odyssey has always impressed me and this wheel hasn't let me down!
