Ok i just started doing like urban riding like 2 years ago. I do about 75% urban riding and about 25% trail and offraod riding. I have a Giant S.T.P. 3 right now i am thinking about moving up another level. I am not sure if this will help but i am 6' 1'' and 160lbs. I have about 600$ to spend and i could really use some suggestions on bikes, but right now i am liking the Gary Fisher Mullet. If you have any information on picking a bike or suggetions on bikes let me know please thanks alot!
You'll hate this answer but save up another 600. Then you'll really be able to pull the trigger on a great ride. It sounds like you're looking for a jump bike you can still ride on trail, right? Every maker out there makes one. I would find a great LBS and see what their offerings are. Just don't go on ebay for a DJ bike. That's one of those things that can go bad really fast. Check out the Kona Stuff or Cowan, or Santa Cruz Jackel (or Chameleon) for taller guys. I can only recommend what models i know but there are tons out there.
Fill me in why you think you need to replace the stp. There are a ton of guys that ride em and love em over on the dj board. Is it an older non-disc crappy fork one or what?? You may just want to invest a few bucks on what you got. But fill me in on the bike.
I would say the same as bitterrider... that STP is an awesome bike.
If you do decide to go with something else.. check out Soul Cycles (ride-soul.com) they have awesome deals on their frames right now. I bought a Titan a few months ago and love it!
You'd be downgrading if you picked up that gary fisher IMO.
