Yes I have 2 in front of me as I write. I had been talking to them (via email) about distributing them here when all emails from them stopped. I sent several emails asking for a reply. Well wouldn't you know it, My ISP 'upgraded' their filter software which decided that their emails were viruses ... and deleted them ... Doh! That's straightened out now and i have emailed them again to explain the situation. I'm waiting for their response.
But let me tell you, these are the real deal. Nicely machined with roller clutches, low-drag and damned pretty. I'll be lacing one up this week. At present there is no way to buy them here, they only ship large quantities. They were nice enough to send two samples for testing and I'm confident that this deal will work out and the question of 'which contemporary coaster brake sucks less' will finally be put to rest.
I'll keep you posted...
