Right, i know this isn't the time or place to ask this, but is this a normal GN handle or is it something a bit different?

Post by: thebigginge on September 27, 2011, 04:08:33 PM: Buzz - it would be nice if I saw anything from the last 3 price increases

Tim - what you have is standard cane handle that has had an atomic cap fitted. These handles would normally be converted into Carbo handles (with carbon reinforcement to the handles exterior and a black cap)

Tom - Yes to Legends & Scoops

Post by: tim2000s on September 27, 2011, 04:31:38 PM: What is the benefit of the atomic handle?
Can I have a scoop made from one of those clefts?

Post by: Canners on September 27, 2011, 04:45:55 PM: I was expecting a thread about the glorious weather..... Those clefts look equally glorious

Good work Alex, what shops will those ones go 2?

Post by: thebigginge on September 27, 2011, 04:49:09 PM: Tim - I shall email you about the handle, alas no, not for a scoop
