xstartxtodayx 343 Report post Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) Nothing new but I was messing around w/ my 50mm lens last night and snapped some shots of my Grafs. They're about 10 years old now and I'm thinking I'll be replacing them in a couple months or so. You can't tell from the pic too much but they're really worn on the other side of the skate, right near the ball of the foot it's white from the outer peeling off, as well as plenty of slices from skate blades and the Tuuk's have definitely seen better days.(Pic removed from quotes)If those are 10 years old it just shows how much Grafs last. Nice laces too.Those were the "good" Grafs. None of that silver crap on the skates.Yea when I looked at those new Grafs w/ the silver and crappy graphics I was a little disappointed, but then again that seems to be the style that all the kids like now a days; too much silver/white/flashy designs on skates these days for my taste. The laces are new, only been used for maybe 3 sessions or so... they seem a little wider than any other laces I've used and I'm really happy with them, no lace bite at all and they keep the skates nice and snug.Oh and the skates are a size 8 from what I remember for the user who commented that they look small... I think the pic makes them look smaller than they really are. Edited January 7, 2009 by xstartxtodayx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adam14 182 Report post Posted January 7, 2009 where do you pick up that felt?and do you just sew it onto your existing tongues? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KryptOng 9 Report post Posted January 7, 2009 where do you pick up that felt?and do you just sew it onto your existing tongues?very interesting idea with sewing the white felt on!but i'm sure you can pick up felt from any crafts store, i.e. Michaels, or nearby dollar stores will even have'emanyone tried different colored felt? =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doogie24 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2009 Felt sheets cost me .28 cents each... I used fabric glue to start, but might have to get out the needle and thread to make them more secure. Someone on PHEW made some red tongues, which I thought looked pretty cool, gave them an actual "tongue" look, haha. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

#44wannabe 4 Report post Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) Popped into my LHS where i was helping out in the run up to xmas to be presented with a Graf box... in it were a pair of custom grafs EXACTLY the same as i had asked about pricing on! Turns out they just ordered them for me, the only downside is they want me to pay for them despite not actually ordering them yet.I suppose the big plus is that they understand that i cant pay for them right away so when i want them they are there ready for me! I got boot only G70's in white with a white felt tongue. Should have the money soon so will post up pics ASAP!EDIT: Spelling Edited January 8, 2009 by #44wannabe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm currently in 705s with the silver logos and I swear every pair of them I've seen have been inferior to the whites. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm currently in 705s with the silver logos and I swear every pair of them I've seen have been inferior to the whites.I thought JR was first referring to the newer style/model Grafs with all the silver graphics on the sides... but now I realize he was referring to the 705's w/ the silver 705 logo. I always noticed the different logo's but never thought anything of it until now. I got my pair right about 97/98 so I'm guessing they must have been part of the last production of white logo ones... I guess I have good timing and got lucky. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
