Any interest in a coiler monster (183, 14M, 20cm waist, metal)?

[shawndoggy]

Built for me by Bruce two years ago, ridden once or twice. Still has plastic over the top sheet. Oh the blasphemy, but I've fallen in love with softies all over again and this board is literally gathering dust in my garage. Could probably include TD2 step ins for an interested buyer.

[carvedog]

Yeah.....

Pm if you wish. I would need time to sell something.

I would love to ride this.

[shawndoggy]

carvedog, sent you an e-mail. Also I forgot to note that I'm 165lbs, so this board is probably softer than Bruce's stiffest offerings.

[SEJ]

How much you want?

[shawndoggy]

It was $800 or so new, and has only a handful of runs.

I've not been religiously following the classifieds and I don't have a feel for the market right now. What's it worth?

Gah. OK that's not an answer. Let's say $600 shipped in the lower 48 or $800 shipped with TD2 SI's with 3 degree cants and yellow bumpers.

And then you can all beat me up if that price is way off.

[shawndoggy]

Since it's howling windy and I'm stuck at home today, I snapped a few pics. Wax is fresh. The board's finish looks flat because the plastic is still on top. Man was it dusty. This board needs to go to a good home where someone will put it through its paces.

For those who asked about the bindings... bumpers are purple (not yellow like I thought) and both receivers are alu. Took pictures of the wear on the receivers. There's lots of life left in them.











and a couple of "shopped" pics:

How would this board compare to a Prior WCR metal board? The board my roommate rode was a 173 WCRM, it has a 12m SCR and a 21 waist, would this be a close match being softer than the Prior?

If you decide to break up the set, he is actively looking for TD2's.

Thanks

My other board is a 177 wcrm with the 21cm waist. I would say that this board rides "longer" than the prior. It's not a noodle by any means... it's a stiff board, but not silly stiff. I'd say it's probably stiffer than my prior, even though it's "only" built for 165 lbs. It's also a cm narrower, so it's going to require slightly steeper angles for a bigfoot.

[semi-native]

Thank you for the quick reply. I was hoping to hear it was closer in similarity. As he is new to hard booting, sounds like this may be too much board for him. Also, if you are interested in selling the TD's separate, PM me, he is in need of some real bindings.

Thanks again for the reply.

if you want to sell the prior I might be interested in that

nah, I've found my magic carpet with that board. She's a keeper.

[shawndoggy]

bumpage. get it now before the season's over.

weekend bump

[Dan]

I shouldn't...but I'm tempted. To confirm, the sidecut is "single radius", not variable, right?

Would you have any interest in either a Madd BX or a Steepwater Plow (I believe it's 171 cm, will check if you're interested) + cash?

[shawndoggy]

Dan I'm pretty sure this *is* a variable sidecut board. Bruce built the board for me after we had a chairlift conversation at OES in spring 2009. I'm pretty sure variable radius was the hot ticket at the time, but to be honest I'm not 100% positive. I'm sure bruce could tell from the sidewall inscription. This thread looks like a good indication of the genre of the board:http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulleti...er-Monster-182

I'm not really interested in trades right now and was hoping to free some $$$ up for a different hobby that's been demanding my attention.

[Dan]

Thanks for the info Shawn. Looks like it's time to put that Madd BX up in the classifieds - I guess I'm out until I see how that goes.

[D.T.]

Dan I'm pretty sure this *is* a variable sidecut board.

Per the Coiler website, most Monsters of this size were made with the 12m/15m radii. Bruce specifically designed the flex of the Monster to work with these SCR's - slight changes in body positioning will completely change how the board turns. I loved my Monster, but decided it was time to try something new; it was my go-to board when I had it!

PS - from the photos, the sidewall is engraved 182cm, not 183

sorry for the thread jack... specs on the madd bx and how much?

Hi West Carven, that's actually good timing

I'm thinking $250+shipping for the Madd BX. These boards all got custom names printed on the topsheet - this one is "The Annunciator". I bought it from Shaggy -- given that he had a whole stable of Madds to choose from, I'm not sure how much he rode it, but I probably have about 25-30 days on it. I believe they specced the length on these as 168 cm (but they're actually a bit longer); I'll take nose/waist/tail measurements tonight. This has the carbon butterfly and is fairly stiff (for me at 155 lbs). It has steel inserts, rather than brass.

The topsheet is in pretty good shape, maybe a 7.5 or 8 out of 10. The base has one long ugly scratch, maybe 10 inches or so. It doesn't go to the core, and it's aligned with the long axis of the board (i.e., doesn't affect how the board rides flat), so I haven't repaired it.

I'll post pics in a separate thread tonight; you have dibs if you're interested. Shawn, sorry to clutter your thread

LOL, 182, 183, whatever it takes!

(thanks for pointing out the typo).

[shawndoggy]

Still available. Looks like this is probably going to go back on the rack for next season, as the north american season that never really was seems to be winding down fast.

[Mike T]

I used to own the same board with a slightly different stiffness index. I've sold a lot of boards over the years, and that's the only one I ever regret selling.

[slopestar]

Thanks for the info Shawn. Looks like it's time to put that Madd BX up in the classifieds - I guess I'm out until I see how that goes.

Dan/ I want it !

Is the board still available?

[Dan]

Nope, it has a new home in Portland. Thanks to Shawn for a very beefy packing job and a gorgeous board. Still haven't had a chance to get it on snow, but hoping I'll be able to break away from kitchen remodeling in the next week or two.
