Title: The "New Range" Preview
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on August 10, 2011, 03:10:10 PM
Photos of the 1st sample of then new range are up on our Facebook page, this was a 1st trial to see how the material we selected turned out in a coloured run.

Still some work to do yet but 1st impressions are that the shell is very strong for a plastic  8) overall very happy with things and how they turned out after spending over 2 years working on the project.

I'm sure it's already been talked about but are these supposed to be cheaper, or is it lighter?

Definitely cheaper from previous talk, not sure about weight

Weight TBC as this was just a sample of stock material to check the tooling all worked as desired.....we have some materials in mind that suit our company ethos ;)

Thats the job...the paint on mine is chipping in places. But with the materials its made from, it has to be painted :(

Yes seems he has moved onto other brands due to a conflict of interests which is a shame......all the same we seem to be picking up more pros as we go which isnt too bad for a small company.

Nice to see ur a glass half full type of guy tho ;)
