scrapster Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hi All, Nice site! I'm glad to see so many local riders online. I just picked up a board that isn't going to work for me, and thought I'd offer it up to an appreciating audience. Its a 159 Nidecker Proto in beautiful condition. I'd say this model is about 3 to 4 years old. It has a 19.5cm waist, cap construction and a webbed swallow tail. It has Nidecker's "supreme" wood core. I know the board has been ridden a few times, but honestly, I can only see one or two VERY faint scuffs on the topsheet--less than most shop worn boards I run into. I wouldn't hesitate to call it "almost new." Its really one of the coolest looking boards I've ever seen, but its just narrower than what I'm looking for right now. Make me a reasonable offer! I'd also consider swapping for something that has a more all mountain shape and can accommodate a stiffer, soft boot set-up (with a waist of at least 22cm). I can send more pics. Write with any questions. As a new poster, I have 100% positive Ebay feedback that I can show you. Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrapster Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Hey All, Thanks to those who contacted me. I decided to reduce my price to $180-shipped in the US. I'll consider other offers as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Bell Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 When you say it's cap construction, is it standard, traditional cap all the way around? The reason I ask is that Nidecker's site refers to "N concept construction" and then gives a very unhelpful explanation of what that is. I had surmised that maybe it was some sandwich-cap hybrid. Very curious about this board; thanks for any clarification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapster Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hi John, It looks like a cap all around--except for the waist--which is really a wild design. Basically, the waist edges looks like a sandwich of steel edge (and sintered graphite base material) with some sort of red strengthening layer above it, and then a layer of carbon/kevlar. That's it!!! There's no wood core over the waist edges. (Its cut away in an hour glass shape.) If I'm right, the Rad Air Lamms may have a similar edge construction--though its for a shorter length on the Proto. Not sure if that's the "N Concept Construction" or not. Nidecker is a bit sketchy in their descriptions, and sometimes with their measurements---but I've loved every board of theirs that I've owned---just smooth as silk. PS- The Proto is currently about to end on Ebay, so get it while its hot! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAP<WBR>I.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item<WBR>=180216902460&ssPageName=STRK<WBR>:MESE:IT&ih=008 ~Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
