Boards And Holds For Sale
May 09, 2007, 10:22:24 am
Anyone interested in buying a set of boards and holds?

Boards originally belonged to a Mr Welford and include Hubble crux and lots of slopey wood.  Bolt on holds are mainly mine and have been added after I acquired the boards.  The actual boards are 1/2" packing cases from way back when doley climbers couldn't afford ply and therefore required a bit of imagination to put up  :whistle:  Built size is about 7'x7' (flat not projected) plus 18" high kickboard.  Holds vary from early 90's to Pusher, resin and wood and include Pusher finger board.

Will post some pictures later!  Can deliver in or around Sheffield up to end of this weekend only, after that it is up to you.

Offers anybody ?

Would you be willing to split? I might be interested in the holds but not the boards. Feel free to tell me where to shove it.

Would love to see some photos Norton...

In fact, I'd offer you a lot for the Hubble crux alone.

Hubble crux is not removable from the boards cos' the holds are way small (obviously) hand crafted and are glued on.  Trying to remove them would surely split the holds!

Am willing to split boards and holds as long as you do the splitting.  I can then dispose of boards if you wish.

Maybe I could strike up a deal with woz that I can visit the Hubble crux a few times a year at his place. Sounds an uber old-skool setup Norton nice one!

I was referring more to the resin bolt ons. Would feel bad paying for wooden holds.

I started reading this thread and just knew you'd be along soon enough to try and bid for the Hubble crux holds.
