Glad to hear that they are still in business I heard they closed, they moved to another location. Had good experience with this shop as well! Boy the time where every manager parked their brand-new convertible Porsche in front of their shop seems to be far away.

It doesn't lie flat on the ice... at all (makes it hard to perform a clean tapejob)

By displaying a "smart" selection of every brand. The current stick lines consisting of so many models, for example only one unit of each one55, 75, 95, x60, x50 .. etc each in a different pattern and different flex.. with 5 sticks you already covered 5 patterns and all the available flexes, even though it's not perfect since sometime some differences remain between them, but still it should give a good picture of it. You can still show a specific pattern or appreciate the flex without opening the plastic packing. This allows you to filter a bit the customers, someone with no intention to buy won't bother to ask you a stick in the back. That how they do in some shops in europe.. And the "display store" pieces are always cheaper since they take into account that it's no new anymore.. Not to mention that now a day people care a lot more about their equipment than before, they are a bit more informed with internet etc.. some will come knowing exactly what flex/curve/pattern they want. And for those maniacs like me the real challenge will be to find the one without any cosmetic dents, scratches etc ..

Yep was on the ice yesterday and today, definitely feels like a one95 (soft feel in the blade, amazing mid kick). Only the p106 (shittiest pattern ever ) spoils a bit the thing..but didnt really have the choice.

yeah except that here the dent was already there when you bought it ... I'd feel like buying a used stick (mental issues)

I never really understood why almost all LHS have a huge rack of sticks, I think one sample of each model is enough to check the stick and keep the rest of them in the back in their plastic bag, no need to show all different patterns, flexes (people know what it looks like). Sometime it is a mission to find the perfectly new stick untouched without any tiny scrach or whatever. It might sound crazy but when I crack +100USD on a stick I want it absolutely new in its original packaging sealed, don't want to get a piece that 100people have already touched, flexed, waved up, .... although I know it doesn't affect the stick at all.

Thx! Just cut it (dont remember myself having such a hard time cutting a stick) and inside it says C29 and others codes

how can I see if it's a bauerid or mybauer ?

not so sure it's a true one95 It has the serial number/warranty stickers, true flex77 and 106blade.. But it's not the retail color for stick'um version and there's the blank space for the player name (empty here) No pro-stock number. If a stick pro drop by and can shed some light I'd appreciate !

They are worn down, but still working. Changing the steels would have been an extra 40euros.. Right now the radius should be around 9-8 slightly toward the the rear. No idea. On the other hand the whole package (holder + job) was 36 euros, so it might not be as good as the standard ones. May be some aluminum since I saw them on very old skates and it was the only thing that didn't rust.

E-pro

Speedz98> Nice pick up! Clearly the skate I like the most at the moment. C'mon send us some more pics (with a true camera) please, I wonder if it's not the first pair I saw on this topic.

jschlenske> Damn ... that's just brillant. I hope i'll have the same kind of room in my house later. F..... incredible how u can afford all the stuff (full of high end products) it looks like a purehockey!

Are these Lacrosse ?

Love those SE16 ! Very classy look B) Nice pick up for the color :)
