[Group Buy] MKC Aluminum Spacebar Round 2 (preparing shipping)
« on: Sat, 29 December 2012, 12:28:37 »
Hi GHers! Here's the 2nd round of the MKC Aluminum Spacebar.

The aluminum spacebars from the 1st round are sand blasted finished. In the 2nd round, the surface will look shinier than the 1st round. They have been polished more than once, so they look quite shiny.


We have three options for this round:

1) 7x, Cherry Profile, with 3 stems.
2) 6.25x, Cherry Profile, with 6 stems.
3) 6.25x, OEM Profile, with 6 stems.

Four colors are available: Pink, Blue, Orange, and Black.



I'll stop taking orders on February 10th. Most likely the production will get started at the end of January.


Pricing:

$28 for 6.25x spacebar

$30 for 7x spacebar


Shipping:

USA - USPS First Class $4
USA - USPS Priority $6
International - USPS First Class $7
International - USPS Priority $24


How to order:

Please send the payment (including shipping fees) to tangxiruo@hotmail.com as gift or add 3.5% to cover the fees.

After sending the payment, fill out the following fancy form:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?fromEmail=true&formkey=dDFDeWhQQVNKME9XYVZuWGdEcFdjd2c6MQ

Please notice, if you want more than one piece of the same spacebar, for example, you may want two of the Pink 7x, Cherry profile, with 3 stems, please leave me a note in the "Comments" section so I know you want more than one. As always, please feel free to ask if you're still confused.

I'll have about 10 pieces of the red OEM profile w/ 3 stems and shiny finished spacebars for sale when I get back to U.S., but it's not available in this group buy.

4 colors is the best I can do after talking to MKC. He can't provide too many colors unless there's a big order, for example if we can reach 200 pieces which is quite difficult, then I think he can do 5 colors.

Some other colors will be available in the next round. Like Gold, Titanium, and Black.

I'll wait till those colors you mentioned for round 3 are available.


Side note.  The titanium that you mentioned for round 3, is that color or material.
I really want a titanium spacebar (material)

However, I was just wondering which option I should go for. I have the KBT Race 75%.

Thanks in advance.

Here's my opinion: Take out the green, replace with dark green. It'd look much better.

I still need to decide which one to get, or wait for the next round.

I, too, have a Titanium spacebar, and an aluminium one. The Al ones are excellent for the price.

Maybe silver would be available for the next round, not so sure yet.

Dark gray or even a yellow would be nice imo, or even a lighter green.

Lighter green was what I originally asked for, but MKC said it's hard to mix up the accurate color.

Only a few samples have the stark industries logo on, need to ask MKC if he has any leftovers.




Anyway, I'm gonna let blue and pink stay on, so for green and orange, which one do you guys like more?

I didn't mention dark grey because it never was listed as an option, but if that's on the table, hey..... That is my NUM 1 choice.
 
in order of preference:
1. Dark Grey, (gunmetal)
2. Black
3. Gold
4. Orange
5. Red, like the last group buy

If my top three colors were offered i would buy them all.

Hammer is a boss; my (shiny, cherry 6 stem) titanium space bar is great. It doesn't even get as many fingerprints as I expected. If more come out, I'll have to get one in sandblasted for sure.

I would buy a black 6.2x size and a second black 7x size in a heartbeat if they were sandblasted.

As far as dropping one, I think that shade of green doesn't look that great, and the orange might match OCKC if the group buy is ever run (I'll do it :p )
