Spoke with a guy from TCK today, and he essentially said their cage fabricator was one of, if not the best, in the country. Now, from what I recall about their pre-fab cages in the glory days when they actually used to make them, that may very well be true. Has anyone had a custom cage built by them, or know anyone who has? Are they right up there in terms of quality, design, construction and fit & finish? I'm in New England, so if I decide to go with them, it'll have to be because of a significant difference in quality, as they're 700 miles away from me. Anyone know any other northeastern cage builders that do good work? I guess one full day's drive is about my limit for distance from home. Appreciate any advice you can give. - - Neil - --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

Hah! Okay, show of hands, how many had this happen to them. I was skiing at Vail Monday on my own for the final day after skiing with my (now ex) girlfriend on nothing but green trails and catwalks for the previous two days. I head out for the blue trails where I fit best and toss down a couple of bumpless black runs. Part way down one very steep black run and trying to avoid the bumps that were there I stamped into one bump particularly hard to slow myself down. I heard crunching. ?? Okay, finish skiing down and hit the town for some lunch. Walking in my boots I'm thinking there's an awful lot of gravel being crunched under them. Go back and ski two more hours, I'm getting stronger and faster and more confident with practice and hammering some more black runs. In traversing between sections at Vail on a (blue!) catwalk I find I can't keep my skiis running true on flat straight sections. I hit a couple more runs and it's getting worse. Figuring my legs were more tired than I realized I called it quits at only 1:30 (skiing since 9 with 0 wait on all lift lines and no resting). Crunched my way into the rental place to return my skiis and poles, get my street shoes and try to remove my boots. BOTH boots are shattered down the back and around both sides along the top of the sole plate. Badly shattered. That's been the crunching. I took them off in two or three pieces each. These were Heierlings that I had bought way back in 1988. Plastic has a shelf life. Vail was just awesome this time out. It was fairly abandoned, the weather must have been into the low 40s on Monday, I literally skiied down the hills, turned a couple times and before I ever stopped the lift would hit me in the butt. Conditions were nearly perfect for me with most of my favorite runs well groomed and well covered. All lifts were open and running. Damn I hated to leave but without boots...

Here's the thing - they all appear VERY reasonably priced. Now, lest we fall into the "around 20K Canadian" debate again, I know these prices are in GBP, so you have to multiply them by about 1.64, but nevertheless the prices are quite good. For instance, a bolt-on, non-adjustable M3 LTW replica splitter (just a fascia, not a full undertray and everything - but I think this should still provide some downforce at track speed, right?) is only about $102. Anyone bought anything here? I'm sure the quality isn't like MA Shaw or anything, but then, neither are the prices.
