Prior Metal 177 - narrowed, softened flex

[zoom]

SOLD!**Check out my 170 Coiler Metal (http://www.bomberonline.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=24117) - another great board!**


Prior Metal 177 - 180mm wide, softened flex in near perfect condition. Lexan plates included (+ extra long screws, if you have f2 bindings).

The base has never been ground and has only extremely minor scratches, and the edges are perfect. The topsheet is very clean - only expected scuffs and binding marks. The metal topsheet has later generation additions of a protective coating on the top, and the edges of the topsheet are beveled to prevent chipping.

Particulars
Length: 177cm
Width: 180mm
Sidecut: 11.9m
Taper: 4mm
Base/Edge bevel: 1/3
Built in spring 2007
Ridden fewer than 10 partial days

I weigh 135 lbs and I found this board to be very playful, easy to turn and forgiving. Its softened flex would make it a friendly bigger board for a lighter or less aggressive rider. The soft nose excels in firm snow, but it is too flexible for me on soft groomers (and I usually ride very soft groomers)

I'm happy to send more or larger photos. For those of you who don't know me, I'm Buell's partner. We've bought and sold a lot of boards on BOL, but usually under his name. I'm the only person who has ridden this board, so I'm fielding all the comments this time.

Thanks,
Rebecca

Is it really narrowed to 180 mm waist?

Yes, it is that narrow. I just verified by hand measurement. I have really small feet and need a narrow board to keep my angles above 45 degrees. The stock board was 195 mm (19.5 cm).

Hey Rebecca,

What's going on over there?? You're selling off some pretty sweet boards? A narrowed Prior Metal? A Coiler Metal??? What gives? You know I'm only a few pair of boots heavier than you? Very, very tempting! :) I'm assuming those pics were taken at Snowbasin? Ahhhh Snowbasin!!!!

Hey Jeff!

Things are great here. I've been spending all my time on another Coiler metal (Flipper!), and thought I'd narrow the quiver. I've seen you ride, and I can safely say that the Prior is too soft for you. The Coiler, on the other hand... is pink. So you probably don't want that, right?

You need to head west again! OES?

I've seriously been thinking about OES! Yeah, I guess pink is not my color! Best of luck selling your boards! Flipper? I just got my new Donek Metal today!!! WOO & HOO! I posted a picture of it on the Metal Mania thread!

Random thoughts! Must be late!
