You'll love them, my boss has a set on his Curtis and he says compared to a carbon bar they're great so yeah

Yeah I am expecting good things as I have had Thomson flat titanium bars which felt unreal.
The RUSTs having 15mm rise and a different less backsweep and more upsweep should feel spot on.

Even got a bonus RUST chainstay protector which I will use on my Ti frame and a few stickers which if you've seen them rings true i.e. ''...Fear the Flat...'' tup

What Curtis does your boss ride as I wished that I hadn't got rid of my SS one now. Mad

Nice, never heard of them before!!
However I was thinking more in lines of a Deity Platinum bar.
I have a similar build in the pipeline with a diff brand bike, but everything gonna be silver.

Funnily enough my RUST bars are going to be fitted to a platinum Deity stem.

Pimp

It's 64ish or something like that. Geo is not standard since I use a small offset fork. 44mm compared to recommend 51mm. But I find if great as it is.

7/10 for the cube, not a fan of the colors, and 0/10 for the hardtail, it is not that hard to read the title of the thread...

My new enduro, looking to slowly upgrade it, it feels super nice!
New bike day

yeah ive debated the colour while building it up for the last few months, i was going to either stealth or change the frame decals to purple or grey but i wanted to see how the stock green would look first. Dont really know what direction to go with it, its not so bad as to make me want to instantly change it but its not 100% either

The purple doesnt look that good to me with the green, but sure it is fun

7/10 for the Enduro. What do you have strapped to the downtube?

6/10 for the Cube. Green + purple doesn't do it for me.

Here is my Swoop 170.

Now with 180 air spring in the Lyrik, OneUp 170 post, XT shifter/mech after I smashed the SRAM Gx one, and OneUp pump/edc.

Go deity platinum bar and seat clamp, but use a deity cavity stem… the platinum line is stunning

Where did you pick up your brake rotors and how do they perform?
Sick bike by the way 9-10.

Iirc platinum is in reference to the colour, not a specific model line that I know of or is it?

ahhh correction perhaps, I have a Copperhead stem in colour Platinum so could well be a model line range and colour system, dunno :/
