Interesting Board
« on: Fri, 23 October 2015, 14:42:37 »
I'm not sure if this is a great find as far as the price goes, but its not something I've seen before and I thought someone might want it for the alphas. The stems appear to be MX compatible and the profile looks similar to SA. They might sit up since the stem isnt recessed at all. IDK, just passing it along.

Definitely an interesting board.  I'd just use it as-is if it's AT compatible.  And even if it's not, I'm sure an XT adapter would work fine.

Hmmm. If I had to guess I'd say foam and foil with a buckling rubber sleeve, though with Soviets you can never really know for sure. Are the caps with blue legends on them tripleshot? =o

It is a fun-looking board, though. And since they're in East Europe, where $U.S. probably go a lot farther, I'd offer them much less for it.

I've bought soviet era boards from this seller before.  He's very flexible on price and shipped very quickly.
