The islands were uninhabited until their discovery by Portuguese explorers in the 15th century. With a population of 201,800 (2018 official estimate), São Tomé and Príncipe is the second-smallest and second-least populous African sovereign state after Seychelles. It consists of two archipelagos around the two main islands of São Tomé and Príncipe, about 150 km (93.21 mi) apart and about 250 and 225 km (155 and 140 mi) off the north-western coast of Gabon. ˈ p r ɪ n s ɪ p ə, - p eɪ/ Portuguese: English: "Saint Thomas and Prince"), officially the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe ( Portuguese: República Democrática de São Tomé e Príncipe), is an island country in the Gulf of Guinea, off the western equatorial coast of Central Africa.

How would a giant STP fair on jumps and drops? could the chain/seatstays take the pressure?ĮDIT: according to the kona site, the stuff has an adjustable chainstay length. Would the longer wheelbase of a kona work against me THAT much when trying to wheelie, manual, hop, or spin? I can't find any exact measurements of the wheelbase on their site. GIANT STP 1 CRACKa few more questions.Ĭoncerning the "weaker" frame of the giant, I don't plan on going to whistler with it more than once every few months in the warm seasons, will even that be enough stress to crack a frame in a few years? (assuming I do have a few bails here and there) I guess weight is no longer a factor if they both weigh around 35 pounds. Downside: it won't handle trails as nicely as the Kona, but it will work. Nice and short wheelbase, short chainstays, a bit more snappy of the front end, probably a tad more flickable. If you ride more street or even skatepark + DJ rather than trails, then the STP just might be it. GIANT STP 1 MANUALSMind you for street riding, that same longer wheelbase will play agaisnt you in more technical tricks like manuals and spins. If you are more into dirt jumping + trail than you are shredding the streets, I'd go kona, they feel very stable in the air, nice dialed geometry, and their chainstays and wheelbase is long enough to hold their own on the trails. Both are very capable bikes as well, able to take a beating, although from what I've seen on these forums, STP's seem to have a ever-so-slightly weaker frame. The claimed weight of 33.7 is probably a bit off, I'd say more around 35, same goes for the stock geared stp with both brakes. To be honest, their weights are very similar, and IMO both feel lighter than they are. Weight should definitely not be a concern to you for a DJ bike, sure it's nice to have a light bike, but you may sacrifice strength if you go too light.
