Anybody dealt with these people?
Prices look good.
Found a couple of references on TGR, but still looking for something firsthand.
Might have to take the leap.

also as a public service announcement type of thing.

not sure how many they have. I missed them a couple weeks ago when they were only $99us
still some large and exclusives left

* removed the link for early trams seems they are all gone *

Sam,

Don't have any first hand use, but from what I understand the guy making them is the original owner of ascension. I got skins from him when he was in a garage in Jackson and I am still using them 12 years later. I far as I can tell he is still using the same tip and tail kit on the first pair. Hope this helps.

Thanks all!
I'll definitely have to get some coming.
Hardware can't be any worse than my old G3's.
That tip bail, even the largest one I could get, sucks! (tails pretty good though)

Dynastar Early Tram's (naxo21) showed up today 8)
Screaming deal.
There are still some large left.
Once they are gone I'll remove the Ebay link from my earlier post.

Guess its time to build some touring specific 'fatties.
