Title: Blast From The Past - GM Purist
Post by: wayward_hayward on May 02, 2014, 10:12:28 PM
I see a lot of posts about the old school Purist shape and I have been wanting to see what all the fuss is all about. I managed to pick one up last week and I will be giving the old girl a refurb this weekend. It is in brilliant condition considering the age and usage (no cracks or visible damage). Only slight problem is the weight (advertised as 2lb 9oz), as it comes in at a rather portly 2lb 15oz.

I will post some pictures once the refurb is complete (with all stickers still remaining obviously)

That looks like a plank and you'll hate it!

You best send it to me as I've got a wood burner...  ;)

I had one of these....sadly a teammate took it off my hands and I have never seen it again! He even took all the stickers off :(
