It's no secret that M&A casts Halibrand's wheels.
Pretty sure Fran uses M&A too. If not, someone inform us.
Did Fran invest in his own tool? That's the $64,000 question.

When I said people were contacting Richard, I meant interested parties. Not anything peculiar.

I wasn't insinuating anything peculiar.

Yes, Fran uses M&A too. We could too (use M&A), if we wanted to be wheel tycoons.

I think you two need to think on a different scale. You remember (okay, maybe you don't) when roller skates had steel wheels? Rode rough and didn't handle too well (oops, I just described a lot of Cobras

). Anyway, swap the steel for magnesium and give them a catchy name like "Fire Wheels". The kids will love the way they shower sparks, and you could cross-sell flame retardant socks with each set. Of course, durability will be an issue. I haven't quite resolved that aspect of this scaled down wheel plan (outside of employing child labor in a dirty factory in some Asian country).

M&A=Mergers & Acquisitions. RodKnock was shooting for a pun.

Recognize the sarcasm, dude.

What, you don't like the vision of little kids showering sparks as they skate down a street at dusk? Or are you the guy that boos at kids that don't find any Easter eggs on Easter Sunday?

As some of you may have noticed, there were some mags for sale on this site.
Has our list changed at all?
Whether you were on the list or on the fence, please speak up!

Chas. says you won't get people to speak up because this forum is made up of basically spineless pussies.

That may be but I'm just doing my best to get these wheels made.

If you were on the list and things have changed...no harm, no foul. Just please say something. If I knew that Halibrand would definately not make a new run, I would have gotten a set myself. But one, I didn't want to bail out on my own endeavor

, and two, they aren't the color I want.

I'm still in for the new ones!

Does it appear that I can plan for these wheels before summer, or is this too early in the project for a forecast?

601HP,

If all goes well, were looking at the run being made in first quarter of 2011 (Richard's words).

Thanks for sticking around!
