Standard

Funtimes:
Man, I'm liking what seems like a growing resurgence.  A new Trailboss in Hemp w/ the gussett...chainstay mounts.

I'd like to see them rerelease the classic block letter decals..black outlined in red etc.

I feel like it's a very slow moving trend right now but hopefully it keeps going. Remember when they came out with the Bullitt frame? It was drastic and got a lot of attention. I think Standard needs another frame like that to get some more people interested. Like maybe a 12.8cs, 76ha and 11.00bb or something. Just something wild. Because even though it's american made and have higher than average quality tubes and everything else, I think them being generally the same for years and years makes them easy to over look with you have all these other brands with new frames every year and rainbow/splatter/neon paint options.

That geo sounds yucky.

Was the OX Platinum really worth $400? I remember seeing it on Dancomp and wondering if it's the real deal.

Also I have seen maybe 3 Standards in my close to decade of riding.

Funtimes:
Maybe its localized..or the recent marketing bids, but either way, seeing them come back in the freestyle end would be cool to me.  I agree about a mainstay frame w/ average modern geo.  75 71 13.5 rear with 11 5/8bb and 8.75-9" stand over..call it the Standard Rampage or something :)
