keep an eye on ebay and you can find some good deals on frames. you could also go the route of buying a full skate to pull the frame off of. Most shops can do the conversion. Sports Plus in Ridgewood, Queens will definitely do it. they also have a proshop in Iceland Rink in New Hyde Park where they may be able to do the conversion as well. I believe the PLay it Again in Carle place can also do it. Should run you somewhere around $40-50.

You could also take the beaten path of the impulse buyer (me). That is, bide your time to buy a pair of skates online that you've never tried on before the minute they become available, then realize several months later that despite however many hours you futilely spend breaking them in that they're never going to fit your feet, so then you rip off the chassis and stick them on a pair of ice hockey boots that actually fit you.

At least, that's how my Tacks with the Vector 4.0 chassis above came to fruition. Yes, several hundreds of dollars were practically lit ablaze and many tears were shed, but if you've got cash you're looking to flush down the crapper, a double-digit IQ and absolutely no shame, it's one route you can take.

There are Long Island players on Sprungs, so there's some place to get whatever you use mounted for sure. Check with Iceburg, he'll know.

Hey man i live on long island. If your out east i would try Plaza Sports in Rocky Point. They are pretty good with stuff like that, and im sure if they can't do it they will point you in a direction that can. I also know in Smithtown there is a sports plus with a Shop that maybe can do it. You could also try Port Jeff Sports they are located in Port Jeff, The Rinx (Hauppauge) and Superior (Kings Park). OR Ice Works in Syosset. Ice works is more out west in Nassua. The rest are all in Suffolk.

Here are my most recent investment.

Vapor IX with the Sprung setup. So far 2 games in I'm absolutely in love. Quick turning, great acceleration, and just as much if not more speed as before. Very happy with them.

Hmmm, a little far away from me. I'm sure there is someone around that can handle it.

Ok here are my skates. I feel very proud of them because they are my first conversions and I think I did a good job

[eaglehockey33 0]

get ready man, i have that same boot on my skate and it gets beat up real bad playing roller, but then again i skate almost everyday of the week.

[phantomowner27 20]

Eastons look sweet!

[Patrick67 1]

Should have dyed the rocker arms the same color of grey as the boot, that would be perfect.

[iceburg19 1]

yeah the grey coming down the boot to the rocker arms would have very cool.

Aussie Joe is in Sydney, and I'm in Perth...

[fatwabbit 93]

Here's some Flexlite IXs that I converted to the A80 prototypes. I'm totally crazy about the frame. Not only that it performs so supersickly, but just having an all 80 after so long is a boggle.

The boots are OK with the ice holder to support them from the edges, but anything over a 8.5-9 with an inline mount under it turns the sole to flop. Too much soft stuff bending all over the place.

I'm moving the frames tomorrow. And I'm going to put pretty wheels on them, too.

:)

Mounting the boot rearward increases the pitch and gives you more toe to support it. When I remount them I'll try a little more toe. Nice to have the choice.
