A question to frame vendors/repair shops regarding Standard bykes custom
skateparkrider:
This bitch right here is dialed, all around. I got the frame completely raw, no clear coats or anything. You can really get a good look at craftmanship and quality. I'm no welder geek, but the welds do look really clean. But I am a bike geek. And I can tell you I eyeballed every single part of this frame, inside and out. It is dialed.

There is not any excuse for parts being way off spec in general, but the fact that it is custom and cost him at an absolute minimum $550 makes it way worse. If you spent that much money on a TV and it only played in black and white, would you just shrug it off? Of course not. Some of you make it sound like he's complaining about a cup of lemonade being too watered down from a 1st grader's drink stand in the summer time. You guys must have some nice jobs to be able to drop $550 and have it not matter what you get in return. I love Standard and I think Rick is super rad, so it bums me out to hear this story. Of course there is always two sides to a story and the truth most often lies in the middle...

Prodigal Son:
If I somehow continue to not portray the destitute BMX scum bag, I definitely want another standard. Already miss it riding this barcode.
skateparkrider:
I loved my Barcode in a special way. I just swapped out frames to the STA a few weeks ago. After not living in Iowa for almost 10 years I really just felt the urge to get an STA when I moved back home. So I did, but with a few mods.
metalbmxer:
so how long has the op not been riding while waiting to get a frame repaired that is maybe 1 degree off? i can't see any serious rider taking off that amount of time due to something they'd never even feel. I mean just look at how most riders have their back wheels in the dropouts: cocked to one side for chain tension or just bc it always tightens up that way. I mean really now....
