Should I build the wheelset I've been planning or keep saving and purchase a Godzilla/Bareknuckle from Scrod?

Out of curiosity how much is one anyway? I see them on the EAI sight but the price is hidden from the gen. public.

Seriously. Most places selling them have them listed for higher than MSRP too.

Does anyone know of anything similar to Syntace Stratos 200s? I'm looking for a set of bullhorns with a slight drop and sweepback, and the Stratos 200 fit the bill perfectly, but I can't find them anywhere. I know iMiNUSD sells Stratos 400s (40mm drop rather than 20mm).

About the only thing similar I've found are the RB-002/001. The 200's have been discontinued for a while so the only really option is hoping to pick up a used set on ebay/cl

RB002 ftw. Eff me for putting them in my quill stem. Now I'm too lazy to unwrap the bars to take them out and put them on the TET.

I have to admit I'm not too fond of the 'horns pointing inward' thing.

Syntace stratos have it, and I know rb-002 have it though I've never tried them.

It makes climbing in the horns really wonky. My ideal bar:

-backsweep like rb-002 and syntace stratos
-drop like syntace stratos 400
-straight, parallel 'arms' and horns.
-no cable routing
-available in narrow width.
-available in black
