Default Looking for some apes
I'm looking for a place to buy some apes in the 12-14 inch range that are good quality but won't break the bank. I've seen the road 6 bars and brcustoms bars. Both are nice but the brcustoms are very expensive. Anyone have some recommendation on where to pick some up at?

I have not tried em but was thinking of getting some Santee bars. They are in custom cromes catalog. They are under $100 for both 1" and 1 1/4". I know Santee makes good rigid frames but have not heard anything about there bars.
