Toshi doubles preferred here. 75 is a decent discount too. Count me in.

yeah, i would probably be happy with $75. if the IRO group buy is any indication, we could probably get more folks than that....

If you get the deal worked, I'm in. for t0shi 75 is fine, maybe a little steep for MKS tho. But i reiterate, i am in regardless.

i'd be in for the toshi doubles too.

...

for 75, I'd put down

I'm putting down too (for the toshi doubles).

i'd be down for some toshi singles, but i don't think i want doubles.

i'm in for doubles, but i admit i have zero time to help with an organization of ordering, shipment coordindination or $$ handling

i'd like a set or three of some SINGLES.
i'll bet there is going to be enough people here that it might be possible to get singles and doubles.

also, as far as organizing the buy, this was mentioned to me.

"On this group buy, someone needs to have a store help out who has a dealer account with Euro Asia. Trying to buy from Takizawa or otherwise shop farther afield has a lot of issues that will tend to make people unhappy. They can still get about 35% off from Euro Asia even if they let the assisting store get 10% or so just as a courtesy for their hassle."

Why must we decide? What exactly is your logic?

On what exactly are you basing this assumption? How do you know this would detrimental? It might bring in twice the interested buyers. Why would that hurt a sales agreement? And why so nervous about even approaching a strap seller with the offer?

When you keep mentioning with implied secret knowledge that we must chose between singles or doubles before getting this under way, you lay groundwork for there being no singles offered.

How about instead you actually tell us what you can put together, tell us what your connections are, and tell us what pricing would be on Toshi singles and doubles with a large bulk order through your connections, instead of just mysteriously alluding to it.

OK, what the hell are you smoking?

1. Volume pricing depends on VOLUME. If we have enough people for both kinds of straps to get volume pricing on both, great! However, if we really want to get truly good discounts on straps, we need to keep quantity as high as possible. If not enough peple get on this to have sufficient numbers in what we try to buy of either kind of strap, the discount we get won't be worth the time and effort invested.

2. I'll say it again - people seemed interested (and said so) in a group buy of TOSHI DOUBLES. It was also said that this should have its own thread. I never said singles were not going to be a possibility, but more people are interested in the doubles than in the singles, and I again direct you to point one.

3. I never said I was the ****ing coordinator of this thing. I never said I would be the one to set up the deal or execute it. I have nothing to offer except my assistance as best I can offer it given the resources I have. I'm not just going to go publicizing what connections I have as they are based on personal friendships and professional relationships and these people have nothing to do with this forum or the people on it. All I did was start a thread and state a few rather logical opinions, only to be interrogated and accused by you for no remotely valid reason.

I'm out. **** the group buy, **** you, take me off the list.

Uh yeah. Okay. Rest well knowing your professional and personal contacts will forever be unsullied by this merely proposed group buy.

I don't even know how to properly adjust/setup my single straps, count me out i guess

hurry up and learn!

Virtual Hippie says:"chill out duderrzzzzz!"

i'm in for the group buy. what colors are we looking at for the toshi doubles? choice between black/white or one or the other. either way, im in. i'm sure we can find more people by posting on the fixed forums. who can say no to 75 dolla toshis!

BTW, how do i "properly" adjust the tension of my straps while im out riding. lol. trackstand and then reach down, pull on the strap to tighten or squeeze the buckle to loosen?

What do you need help with? PM me and I'll gladly walk you through it, or if you post your location another member may be able to help you in person.

That poster might not know how to track stand or be able to safely trackstand where he rides. Seems to me, we should help him rather than making fun of him. While strap use might be obvious to you and I, he deserves help if it isn't obvious to him. I personally prefer to reach down and cinch or un-cinch them while slowly spinning, BTW, old roadie habits die hard.

i'm in

I didn't think he was being made fun of... That's a legit answer; it's helpful and informative, if he can't track stand, he can than either a) learn to or b) say "I can't track stand, is there another way?"

Just grab them lil' ****ers and hold on, they cinch right up on the down stroke

If it wasn't meant to be terse, I'm sorry, thought the "lol" can be taken the wrong way. The implication that one needs to know how to track stand in order to adjust straps is wrong though. Heck, we don't even know if the rider in question is riding a fixed gear or a single speed.

This won't work if they are improperly mounted, especially if the straps are of the thinner variety.

np. We should get back on topic anyway. SO who wants to figure out who to order from?
