What's a custom standard go for if you don't mind me asking?

Austin Tasseltine:
im looking at a custom STA. the regular frame is $425, then you add extra cost for the custom elements. i want a steeper headtube ($45) and was looking at a shorter back end but thats $100 extra (cos of having to set all the tubes up differently for a custom length).

I also originally enquired about custom standover height ($45) cos the new style STAs from a couple of years back were real low, but the newer version has a better standover. im kind of torn cos i like a short backend but i also like running my bashguard on the inside which doesnt allow for much clearance unless the frame uses a wishbone design (like a sunday) so i dunno.

I really want an STA but to get it how i want is gonna cost a lot. The guy i was talking to suggested getting a juke, maybe a juke with the classic standard gusset would be a good compromise

Topsey:
Well i have just ordered some new handle bars. CLUEEEEES

4-Piece
HOOOOOGE
Chrome
Originally made in the USA but supposedly the majority of them broke so they switched production to Taiwan.
Theyre about to change the shape, I was on the fence about ordering them but the new ones look real crappy compaired to the originals, so the current model was ordered.

KillSeth:
Stranger? If so, what does the new shape look like?

Topsey:
Yup ordered Thrash bars :)

These are the new versions, i much prefer the tubes sticking out of the bottom slightly to these.
