I had my old DMR Transition frame lying around after getting a Spark.
I got bored and since it's winter in AU (rainy) I decided to bring it back to life as a street/park bike for when it's muddy.
I can't ride street/dj/park anyway, so figured it was a good waste of money.
So far she seems pretty fun, but only finished up the build last night so haven't really tested her out.
She's a bit heavier than I was hoping but that frame is about 1/2 ton. I was hoping for a bit more bb rise, but the fork came with a bike I got for a mate (deal of the year on it too!) so figured I'd give it a go.

Really hard to find bars that are strong enough at 4" to also be super wide, making the bars that wide you end up making a bigger lever for the bars to crack at the stem. If you can find old Yowelli bars they were super wide if I remember right, 32" or something? You'll most likely need a crossbar. Also s&m and FBM do custom bars, could shoot them an email.

Ns districts are pretty big, loads of up sweep and back sweep so they're really comfortable. I've never understood the attraction of super wide bars though

It's helpful to people like me who's shoulders are wider then I am tall.

Lockons are more rigid, direct. Nonlockons are more forgiving and more comfortable. Lockons can still be comfortable, just non lockons more so. I use nons for bmx, switching my lockons off my mtb when I get new grips.
