[Cuban Carving Gooding]

Does Anybody want my F2 196 ?. I will trade or sell. I just wanted to see if any body might want it. Im thinking of puting it on ebay.Send me A email if you want it.

[dano]

Of this Megaladon, please! Sounds like a good tandem project.

[mr_roboteye]

If you would be so kind, what is the waist width and SCR?

Thanks,

Dave R.

[D-Sub]

gear vacuum strikes again!

beer budget indeed!

[Cuban Carving Gooding]

I don't have the Factory numbers but I gave it A shot. N 9 3/4 in, W 7 11/16 in, T 9 3/8 in. Very good shape ,binding marks, A couple small scratches all half inch at most. I estimate 15 days or less. Thanks for all the interest I think I will put it on Ebay as soon as I get some picks of it.

gear vacuum strikes again!

beer budget indeed! :rolleyes:

[mr_roboteye]

7 11/16" is a 195mm waist. Judging by the tip and tail dimensions I would say thats' about a 16 meter SCR. OK, OK I cheated and looked at the specs online.
Later,

Dave R.

[D-Sub]

:rolleyes:

LOL guess not!

off to ebay then, eh?

[~tb]

Always interested in long boards. . . . Interested in a Bose sounddock in trade?

~tb

[Cuban Carving Gooding]

The Bose sounds cool but I don't have an Ipod. I have A Dell .

[Cuban Carving Gooding]

I have it on Ebay if you want to see picks. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110046014111

[dano]

That thing's crazy! Where the freak did you find it?

I wonder what the radius is... like 16m??

[bobdea]

I would have payed you a tidy some for that thing if you were willing to give me a price
ebay is fine and all but often you get less there than here, anyway I'll bid on it

[D-Sub]

and proceeds to bid $100 :)

man, what I want to know is...where the hell do you ride that thing ANYWHERE near OHIO!?

[dano]

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe he towed it behind a combine?

My guess is it might top out around $250 or so on ebone...unless oldsnowboards switches to PBR, of couse.

[Neil Gendzwill]

So my 12 year old niece is looking to get into hardbooting and I think this would be a fabulous starter board for her. What do you think?

[tahoetrencher]

I'm going to make a light out of it. $350 light.

[bobdea]

250 plus shipping easily maybe more, and I'll offer the same on ebay but the thing is with all the fees on ebay then if I pay by credit card the seller gets allot less because of the ebay cut
I promiss that the winner is gonna be one of the bomber people, look at who is bidding on it now, all of us

[Gleb]

[D-Sub]

Im out. I bid on a whim.

tis true the ebay thing. Seller was kinda sketchy about that...but hey...generate interest and then post it on THE site to get the most exposure possible. Makes sense.

I just dont feel like much of a man without a 190+ board.

:freak3:

[110/220V]

Nice to know...

220.

P. and you all may be happy to know...that I'm nice enough to give you all a sneak peek at what I might bid if I'm so inclined...

475USD! Eaaaaaaaaaaaassssy

...and that's only because money grows on trees here in the Land of Plenty!

[Derf]

Im out. I bid on a whim.

I just dont feel like much of a man without a 190+ board.

:freak3:

:lol: Tis so true...

I sometimes get caught up in the "bigger is better" commonly seen here, but then I remember that sometimes I find that my 9.5 m radius is big for carving tight slopes.

[Neil Gendzwill]

That's why the Tankers are so much fun - 200 cm and only an 11 m radius. Woot!

[Helmut Karvlow]

I will make this easy for ya'll I have Two, yes Two 196 f2's.
One is mine and the other my friend's his has only been out 5 times. he wants to trade for a madd 170 or 180. mine we can talk.

[Helmut Karvlow]

Why did'nt you tell me you were selling yours you SOB!
That makes the ONLY 3 in the US up for grabs.

[Hugh]

Hey Helmut,

Are you going to wait until the end of the Ebay auction before deciding on a price for your 196?

--Hugh

[bobdea]

you have the email option turned off, I just tried to email you
Email me, bob_dea AT yahoo.com
and we can talk prices and whatnot

[Helmut Karvlow]

no i will not wait till his ends. sorry I don't get around these puters to well.
hkarvlow@windstream.net

[www.oldsnowboards.com]

:biggthump This is starting to get good!

What a buzz killer for the first board.

3 in the country and they are all for sale!! Cool!!

[Helmut Karvlow]

As far as price let me know at my e-mail what you think. I was going to trade it to Bordy but he ( fell asleep ) and have not herd back from him, if you have a board I might be interested in toss it out here.
I have, f2 176, 173, 186, Madd 170, 180, Mistral 174, hot blast 168, and some asym's.
My 196 has been stone ground once and has gone out aprox. 20 to 30 days.

[Mr. T]

Three in the country and they are all in Cleveland. :freak3:

[dano]

Just to drive up the price! Bwaahahahahah...

Naah I'm out...Also the reserve is not met with 305 in the pot..!

What's the story? ( f2 195's in cleveland )

Did the F2 team van break down there and all the big guns got ripped off?

[bobdea]

for it?
considering that I sold a two season old coiler that there was only one of for 350ish I wonder what he is thinking
more power to him if he gets it but damn

[D-Sub]

Three in the country and they are all in Cleveland. :freak3:

compensation. little :freak3: big boards.

;)

[D-Sub]

when dude first posted it I thought he was looking to sell. Now its looking like he wants TOP TOP for an older board. Sure looks clean and mean but...we'll see how far the :freak3: compensation factor goes

:)

Im out for sure.

[dano]

Proves that I don't know crap about value...

Well, the board IS multi purpose, it also functions as a stretcher, if a ski patroller snags it.

[Cuban Carving Gooding]

Three F2 196 all in Cleveland. And you might as well add all of the United States. The one on Ebay is one that Helmut Karvlow was brokering A deal for without my knowledge. I just thought I would do whats in my best intrest. After all I do own one of three in Cleveland and to the best of my knowledge the United States shoot you might even add Canada to the mix. I can ship there also for the going rate. Ok no more commercials. Bottom line this is the real deal the 196 is hard to come by. If you get mine or one of the other two you will have one of three on our side of the pond. And when you lay it down like Helmut Karvlow can its the best fealing in the world. PS I must give thanks to Shred Gruumer without him I would not have the pleasure of riding this work of art. It is because of him I lived the pleasure of 196!

[Helmut Karvlow]

Dude whats the story? are you selling your board? or are we working a deal for the same client? mine is going to go, I have to many and I can not ride everything at once.
lets clear this, are all three up or just the two?

[Cuban Carving Gooding]

Helmut, I can only sell my board. Yes it is up for sale on ebay and close to the reserve. I was thinking trade but mine is so cleanI was afraid what I received would not be. Good luck handling all the emails.

Great photos Dave.

I see Adam Katen had not yet got his Tomahawk yet? .

Nice "Sweet Inspiration" graphics , had not seen that version.

Kirk March and is that Mark Boxx? Just a guess?

Looks like good weather and great times!!

PS, Who was riding the M6 with Variplates??

[Skully]

PS, Who was riding the M6 with Variplates??

I don't think anyone actually rode it. We always joke about taking runs on "Retro" gear, so I usually drag the M6 along for the ride.

It's kinda hard to strap on the old '90's gear when you have tents full of new gear to ride.

I do however usually ride in the old day-glow Quicksliver jacket for at least a day. It doesn't affect my riding too much..... :o

Oh, and that is Mark wearing the BEAVER (mtn.) shirt.

[tilledog]

It doen't affect my riding too much.....

Pretty distracting for others though. Please refrain in the future. You biddin' on that 196 Skully? We have a 177 '06 that mysteriously popped up in our fleet this summer we'd trade you :eplus2:

[Skully]

You'll trade me MY 177 for that 196?

I guess I better start biddin' if I want it back.....

And the jacket stays.... It's a little less distracting than your speed suit last year.... BTW, who got pictures of that, and why have we not seen them?








(Just a small thread hi-jack goin' on here eh?)

Very cool guys! I recall at my first SES , two years ago, I was very impressed that Hardbooter.com had more "Oldsnowboards" in their truck than I did!!!
You guys are "A - OK" in my book!!

Again, great photos of your sessions. Hope to make it to your meet in UT some year.
Thanks, Bryan

[Skully]

My apologies everyone for bringing up Davo's speed suit. :eek:

Ya gotta admit though, he's got some CAJONES for posting that photo.

[mikemcse]

[Cuban Carving Gooding]

[Helmut Karvlow]

[Hugh]

[bobdea]

[mikemcse]

So are there any still available? Lost the one on Ebay. 475 was a bit too much for me.

[Cuban Carving Gooding]

All gone. We lost one to the great white north.

If all else fails, have one custom made by donek, coiler, or prior. All three of these companies will make anything you want. Any waist width, any stiffness. Donek even has a mold for a 228cm super, super GS board. Check out their site. If you're paying in sterling it might even seem like it's cheap.

later,

just curious...have you checked sources in europe? F2 is a european country...seems like it might be able to find one there, not here?

I should have paid more attention in geography class.

Dave, what is the capital of F2? What language do they speak? :biggthump

[D-Sub]

isnt F2 a french company? Italian maybe? not sure there...just figured that maybe it might be easier and cheaper to find one in the EU

[www.oldsnowboards.com]

country = company, maybe? ;)

I keep pitchin em (http://finelineclub.com/wav/foghorn/fogleg06.wav)

[tilledog]

the only dealings we've had with them is in english. It's been awhile. The boards are "made in Austria". Michelle would know the true georgraphical source of the F2 line. I'll inquire within' and drop a line...

I truly love the F2 product but they are so Random with North American Dealings...

Love hate relationship.

Davoi

[tilledog]

German or Austrian,

Definately not French or It Although Bozetto is the rider with most exposure I suppose...

Davoi

oui!!

I read that sentence MANY times and it said COMPANY to me

[chadx]

Currently in Molln, Austria, from what I recall. They haven't been in Germany for years. I did a quick search and found this interesting History blob from when B&M Group was formed (when Mistral, F2, and Fanatic merged). It only goes up to 2000, so I'm not sure what has changed since then. Interesting read, though.

History
http://www.boards-and-more.com/english_neu/frameset/content/Bilder/auf.gifB&M Group

The Boards & More AG was set up in 2000 and resulted initially from the merger of three players competing in the action sports industry: Mistral, F2 and Fanatic. As a result of this acquisition, B&M became the world leader in the windsurfing market as well as the leading distributor in the European snowboard business. B & M has also established itself as the No 2. Global player in the Kiteboarding market, which has been seeing a steady increase over the last few years.

As of August 1st, 2003, the Swiss KJ Jacobs AG has sold it’s windsurf, kite and snowboard company, Boards & More AG to an investor team led by Yves Marchand.

Today, B&M is an international enterprise, with its main subsidiaries in Molln, Austria and Oberhaching, Germany. Product designing, purchasing, logistics, international and national sales, as well as customer service for the worldwide market are controlled from these locations. To these activities are added central services such as IT, finance and accounting, as well as human resources. Worldwide sales are carried out via a network of company-owned sales enterprises, agents and importers all over the world.
