For Red, Force, Rival, or Apex? Will they have price levels beyond $425? On Sep 24, 2012, at 5:33 AM, Steve Palincsar wrote: I think I saw on the VSalon Forum that these cassettes will run around $425 each. Pretty amazing for a wear item, I think! -- You received this message

Both good choices, but the Italian walnut isn't what it once was. Maybe some blue Japanese oak (*Quercus glauca *)? Bob On Sun, Sep 23, 2012 at 9:09 PM, cyclotourist cyclotour...@gmail.comwrote: Fine Italian walnut vs. California coastal oak. Please discuss. On Sun, Sep 23, 2012 at 4:36 PM,
