| Cord-Wound Frenchies
Does anyone know where I can get good cord-wound foil and epee grips?
Santelli tells me that the only man making them broke his machine recently.
I suppose I could cobble one together myself but I would hate to think I was the only one on the planet twisting thread. Lonely.

| The best way to get a good cord wound grip is to DIY.
Barring that, Santelli used to sell 'em. I think they still do.

I thought 'Pacoima' only existed in Frank Zappa songs?
TIMYTHY: You're welcome to the grips I have, I'll never use them.

| Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohh _ love those grips!
If anyone else has these grips that they are not going to use I'd love to have them. The ones in the picture are Prieur cord over wood. If anyone has these lying around I'll trade you a pistol grip for them.
Cheers
