handlebar asthetics

A truly Fashion based asthetics question.
I am building a Commencal Meta HT out of spare parts in the garage .... but I am missing a handlebar.
Seeing that this bike will be used for 100% dicking about on .. ie cycling up and down the road with my kid and doing bunny hops over the bollards in the road, manuals of kerbs and trying to do 180deg pivots. Taking it to the local trails when I go there with her and just need something to follow her around on whilst sneaking in the occasional pop off rocks etc.
this bike is built purely for looks.
so do I get the Alu gold Renthal with a 10mm, 20mm, 30mm or 38mm rise ? ....... I like a rise, but is 38mm too much ?? would the 20/30mm look better.
its going on top of a 150mm Rockshok revelation so not the most aggressive looking fork in the universe ??????

Back in the day the bigger the rise the better. I think, purely for aesthetics, a nice wide 20mm rise is about right these days.Daddy, Husband, Designer, Biker, Gamer, Geek

yeah, been googling pics, 38mm only seems to look right on the DH rigs with massive forks, so debating 20 or 30 .. considering the size of the bike, thinking you might be right on the 20mm0
