    stb

    okay so jeff (NBMA4V6 or soemthing) let me borrow his stb for a couple days and i put it on tonight and i really like it and now i HAVE to buy one for myself...i enjoyed it that much

    he has a BMR, my question is what is the difference in all of them? there is that one he has and there is a hotchkis one and so one and so forth...what is the difference in all of them i like the way the hotchkis looks better than bmr but is there that much difference between the two to make on cost twice as much?

      I don't know, but I know that we should only use 2-point braces.

                  There is also a Kenny Brown triangular point STB. I've seen it on GMHTP mag... Looks cool. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

                    The STB that I am talking about IS the one in the pics on my site. BTW, the maroon paint has been stripped off and it is now back to its original black powdercoat.

                      I'd just grab the BMR, it appears to be more sturdy than any other STB I've ever held - the thing is like a tankframe... The Hotchkis looks dinky, and its way overpriced for what it does.

                      $90 or less, its worth it - but I wouldn't want to pay a dime more for it - it just isn't worth it past that amount.
