B/c comptech are a bunch of arrogant jack-offs. Or because it works and there's not much else of its quality. But they're still arrogant jack-offs.

Actually it is a lot better built than most other bars. It is adjustible, has very nice CNC machined mounts and actually fits perfectly. Other companies sell poorly fitting, solid, bent bars and charge ~$300. If a cheaper bar is actually worth $300, than the Comptech bar is worth $1000.















The reality IMHO is that most other bars should be in the ~$120 range and the Comptech bar should be in the ~$600 range but the market is what it is.

Go Fast Lab has the Comptech bar listed at $695 (+5 or 10% member discounts). It's always been around this price IIRC. I don't know if they have any in stock or not.

I've never seen it listed for $900 even at Comptech. Have they raised their price? I thought it has always been about $700 or $750.

Looks like Comptech increased the price!

and Hartop Guy now has it for $895 after 10% off! I was thinking of ordering the one from GFL right now because it is listed at $700 and I really don't want to pay $900!

Now I'm screwed
