I hated the "oversized" bars though haha. They reminded me of marshmallows lol. I liked the others though. Steel trees were sick.

The problem with the oversized Suicides with built in clamp is that they had a thicker steer tube than regular oversized bars, so if you snapped them at the slit you couldn't use them anymore unless you modded a clamp to fit/made your own, plus it looked ugly and really served no purpose, standard bars with SCS were stronger and even lighter depending on your setup.

Never really liked the idea of wheels bigger than 110mm

I have a sledge now and it's great for cruising. Not sure what a 6 wide would feel like, but seems like a lot of unnecessary weight for not much benefit.

without bigger wheels a 6 in wide deck would scrape on the ground pretty easily

people who ride pegs wouldn't be too bothered by that, some pegs stick out more than that. as for weight, thats easy to sort. i could see 6 or 5.5 on the bottom becoming normal in time, just no one has tried to.

I tried my 5'' wide proto deck yesterday and 5'' feels so comfy. But I don't know if I could ride 6'' wide.
