I've got a Sinster Ridge frame being offered too me but the seller isn't sure if it's a ST or a STD.

I'm wondering if there is a way too tell easily which it is?

This from the Sinister website:

Intended fork travel

120 mm (5") on ST up to 180 mm (7") on STD

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The newer versions had a 1 1/8 head tube and a slightly slacker head angle iirc.

I've been offered one with a 1.5 headtube but it can come with a reducer headset.

I've emailed FTW and asked if he knows of any differences

I always thought the geometry on those looked ropey as hell. I wouldnt buy one. Get a Santa Cruz chameleon or something.

It might be my old one :-). Ignore Taylforth, he is a old man who rides tourers.
