It’s very like my MPI deck on the left here, but the wheel base is definitely different and there are no sign of truck holes
Some numpty will probably bid on it


this looks like one of those mpi decks to me :roll: especially in that colourway, its a strange one because its not one of the reissues ...

That’s a bit of a kick in the bollox, thanks for the heads up

I purchased from Canada last month it was £96 all in with no vat but just googled the USA there and it’s right

I’ve never as much as seen a Freeformer in real life but I’m very taken by the custom fit riser pads, they are very niche

I thought it was a good enough buy at that money, rare and nice

I bought a used one of these recently, probably over paid @ £35 shows how much I know

He was maybe trying to get close to a previous sale he made

Does anyone know if the guy that made the Benjy decks, Tom Sims, made exclusively for Benjy or made for other companies too. I have a very vague memory of ordering 3 White lightening decks possibly from shiner or the Skate Shop Poole and them being listed as Benjyboard / Lotus when they turned up ...

The logo and shape is consistent with early Benjy comps but obviously this appears to be just Oak

Starting in to a rattle can re spray of my ACS pro baseplates and looking out for some new pivot cups, I may have over done it on the ACS 500s though.

These ones aren’t badly priced and I think that Remi guy is in France so post shouldn’t be too bad

That link takes me to an oak veneer cabinet

But intrigued to see what it’s all about

those Cali Slaloms have had a good polish, that’s mint, the whole set up

That came up really well, probably worth a new power pivot and a set of risers now

There was even an og Benjy sticker on the bay that would have suited it

I’d have thought it would have went for more
