Steve, Sims on the Sinclair, and uber rare Sims Giant Slaloms (the only Sims wheel with no branding on it).

Anyone know of a Henderson mkII?

I'm ramping up the effort to find one.

BTW - someone has offered me Sinclair's rider if you want it I will connect. PF9s, it has the checkerboard bottom. Wants about GBP1k

No idea but they look a bit lighter than the traditional Benjy gree

When you say the MKll do you mean the 30 x9” WWW made deck the same as that Sinclair ?
Was the MKl stripped wood on top like the Sablosky MKl

I had one in reasonable condition fully gripped etc, but the under side had a chip out of the nose, I search my emails and see if comes up who it went to.

Just noticed that one has a chip too, May be a common thing nose savers were only on their way in I suppose

Glen you've to 1 or 2 of those JH boards?

Paul Philips made a identical replica of those speed boards if you're interested. He may still have one, not sure. They were perfect replica.

Please, please don't pay 'personal rider' prices when it isn't!! I spoke at length to Marc Sinclair at the London Calling event, and he stated that the checkerboard bottom board is NOT a personal rider. The owner and I also had a chat about it and he also conceded that it wasn't.
It's a good example though and the (mismatched 151/169) trucks/wheels also worth having IMO.

I DO have one of Marc's (signed) personal riders on it's way to me as we speak! Most graciously agreed to part with it! It's the ONLY prototype of the downhill/speed board made. No inset badge, only one on the planet. He's had it since '78. Should receive it tomorrow/Wednesday. Grip tape scraps from the floor of the Benjy factory! Bit of damage to the nose but....

I'll post better pics when it arrives! :)
