bobdea Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 huh? that's about what Bruce sells them for without metal I'm pretty sure my last board with all the bells an whistles came to about 750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durace Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Hey BC the price was $850 plus $20 shipping to Merrimack,NH. I'll send pics when it comes in:biggthump. I'm PSYCHED! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted December 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Maybe the price is similar, but the Startingate has boards IN-STOCK and ready to go out the door!! No 2 1/2 month wait to get a board. That's the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexJ Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I just went in and bought a 175 RC at the Starting gate. Talk about instant gratification. See, Want, Buy. Wish I had it today with 10" of fresh untracked this morning on Stratton. An interesting thing is they actually have Coiler demos there to try. You can atually test out some of the coilers, not sure which model boards they have on demo but I am sure if you wanted to try one it would be worth asking. So tomorrow I will be out on my new coiler. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will rail then like you have never railed before..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will rail then like you have never railed before..... really I cruise on mine all the time....it is by far the most cruiseable board I have ever ridden...mind you everything else you said is also true but I find the RC175 to be a just about the perfect board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durace Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Thanks Mike T, I read your thread a while ago about this board. I'm diein' we just got 8" and more on the way tonight. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Hey Gecko, may be your 175 is a cruiser. But mine 180 II is somewhat stiff (type RC180 II, all options put in it, 6.9 index for my 84 kgs), feels more like a weekend competition board. It's somewhat nervous on low speeds. The board doesn't like flats, feels somewhat dull then, wants only carve on moderate to high (active) speeds and has no momentum in the low speeds. And on low speeds you can't make a balance or ridingmistake or you will notice the board wants to punish you. But with an active ridingstyle with some speed it won't loose track when you are dominant and dare to push the board you want it. Then I can rely fully on it. When I want to cruise I take my Tinkler 202 System Titanal which has enough momentum even at low speeds. But may be it's just me and my settings. I ride it with suspension kit, TD2 si and front 59, back 54. 3 degrees lift front and 3 degrees back, no canting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gecko Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I think all mine has it the torsion plus lamination otherwise it's a stock board...your 180 II has an extra meter of side cut, Mine is a 7.0 stiffness but I'm 95kg to your 84kg so I could probably really flex yours around too.

AlexJ Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Well I took the new Coiler RC175 out today. It was killer the board did it all today. They rolled out the 10" of fresh last night so it was perfect cord, which we preceded to rip to shreds. It then started dumping again adding another six inches during the day. So I took the RC in the soft powder bumps with stashes of 12" plus powder on the edges of the trail. The board was great in the powder and the bumps. Paulk kept me out until 3:30 I think with both have ruber legs at this point. Sad fact is we have to go out and do this again tomorrow. This board was a great impulse buy, that I am very happy with. Cant wait till I get my metal all mountain 177. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulk Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 To say that I was in love with my Coiler 177 All Mountain today would be understated. Fast and fun on the early morning soft cord, Stable and solid on the midday bumps, and floating thru the late day powder. Not even a metal board, and it rocked. Thanks for the great board Bruce!

durace Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 You guys are KILLIN' ME. Mine is in the mail (Sean???) I can't wait, should have driven to Starting Gate and picked it up. I was blocked out until today (season pass) anyway. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
