LE ROI BETA TEST

[Smitty37]

In order to save on shipping I have ordered 200 Le Roi Chrome/Black Chrome component sets with a tube size of 9.5mm (3/8th) for Beta Testing to ship with my Creekline order in February. I also ordered spare tubes and bushings sized for the new tube size. I will add Schmidt EasyFlow 9000M refills.

The completes sets will look identical to the current Le Roi but the barrels will have more material after turning. This should allow a little more slack for the turner and make turning some materials a bit easier.

I am going to want to find a number of people who will turn these for me and let me know how they work out.

I want people who:

• will take 10 kits
• can turn at least some of the kits immediately
• will send me a report on their opinion and any quality notes/issues
• will return to me 1 completed pen
• will post pictures in show your own pens
• HAVE THEIR FULL NAME AND LOCATION IN THEIR PROFILE.

I will provide 10 pen kits at my cost. I will absorb shipping including a deduction in price to cover Priority Mail shipping of the pen being returned to me.

Since I am only ordering 200 sets my cost is $3.55 per set with the Schmidt refill making 10 sets + $1.50 for a set of bushings $$37.00 swhich I will reduce to $31.50 to cover shipping of the pen to me.

If you want to participate please post here and I'll get in touch with you soon.

DON'T ASK QUESTIONS HERE - IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION PM ME. I DON'T WANT THIS THREAD CLUTTERED.

I will help you out, as I dont have a pen in your collection as of yet. Be a good time to remedy that.

I'll take a set too.
I really like the idea of a little more "meat" on the blank.

Been looking for more pens with a little meat on them.
Thanks.
