I finally got around to getting the pix out of my cheezo kid's camera. The
one of Mark was shot without looking, between my legs with the camera
upside down. That white chevron on the pavement means I'm either hitting
a bad spot or about to. Other pic shows our shanty camp.

Benetton sold Rollerblade to Technica. $20 Mil, plus some share of
profits for the next 5 years. They sold 'em Nordica for $40 Mil last
month.

... It's the one I'm leaning toward. Everyone who has the 80mm version of that frame just loves it. The other thing I was thinking of is the 13.5" Sure-Grip...

Just to caution you about the infernos, they are a single-void aluminum frame, and not very stiff at all. Mine came on the entry-level Shark Attack package,...
