New Custom Grafs

[Hans 0]

I have been reading a great deal of posts on here and took in a lot of great info...Thanks

I have been skating on easton 1300c's when this last season, they finally fell apart.

I decided to go the custom route and ordered some Grafs from Proskate Edmonton with the following:

Custom Color

Extra Stiffness

Number stitched on the side

Tbades installed

I must say they are incredible skates and I had them in 1 month. I have read about the horrible stories with custom Grafs, but my experience has been awesome.

Here is a pic.

Later.

Oops,

Was hoping that would work.

You can't just load pics into the post can you?

Will try to fix this.

Beautiful set of skates you got there. May I ask what model and how much they cost you?

[Hans 0]

They are the G3 ultra and they were pricey over a 1000 cdn. They stock versions are 700 cdn.

i agree, they look great! now im so interested in Grafs, but i already got new V06s

damn $1000! i'm glad you're happy with them but I can't imagine spending that kind of dough on skates. Did you have trouble finding a retail skate that fit?

Remember thats canadian dollars so more like 800 USD depending on the exchange rate. I had to pay 700 for off the shelf version so 300 for a custom pair was not to bad.

That is a damned nice skate. Going to put in the yellow laces or sticking with black? I like the #55 on the side as well. I wonder if I can do that with my Vapors at HockeyRepair.com ?

[Bmplam 1]

Did you get custom sizing?

Why, does Pro Skate not do vapors?

[epstud74 24]

Huh?

Well you said your interested in the numbering on the side and wondered if you could do them on a different website that Hans got his done at?

[MLSman 22]

Nice boot.

...with that said, I still don't get how anyone skates on those Thomas the Tank Engine Clickidy Clack track T-blades...those things are hideous.

I already own my Vapor XXXXs...but I was wondering if I could get the #s stitched on via a cobbler such as hockeyrepair.com

I had tblades on my last pair of nike excel's and easton 1300c's. I don't think I will have a problem adjusting to them on my Grafs.

I know the tblades are noisy, but I just love the way they work and the consistency with the edges.

[hehatemefrisbee 0]

why ruin them with t-blades?
