rjnakata Posted October 8, 2023 Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) I received this a while ago and rode it once. In 2020 during the beginnings of covid, John Gilmour visited me and I got to show him this board. He told me it looks to have come from the 2nd run after their 1st batch of 3 boards and this is maybe #4 or #5. He also said it's possibly the best condition 170 of this early batch in existence. Others have warped. Also, subsequent boards didn't have the same "juice" as these OG's. He mentioned the idea of riding it to victory in the Nationals! It does have a few top surface edge chips mostly around the nose, and binding marks. The inserts are brass - none are stripped (JG cursed their decision to use brass). 5/8"+ of camber. Edges are wide, no dings or rust. "Pebble" base material, with light scratches (no gouges or fills due to its super hardness). No warping. I didn't tune, grind or touch anything - original condition as received. Glad to answer questions. Give the sad boy a new home. Maybe you're not a buyer, but if you have pertinent info on this board and other 170’s of this vintage chime in! I'm interested in the informed conversation here on ASB. $1200 Edited November 8, 2023 by rjnakata Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
