    I hope you're not giving up on foil.....

    Maybe, but it's real hard to get much better than the Adidas/Uhlman gear!

    Seems that somebody named Nguyen did - that name is on both lames.

    Correct...it's not my gear...it's from a former teammate who left the sport...why else would I be selling WOMEN'S clothing items??

    I still have all of my stuff...although I haven't competed (except for the occasional sabre event) seriously since '01 nationals. Selling and armoring takes up too much of my time, and I've gotta make a living! (better selling fencing gear than getting a REAL job!)

    I posted the listings while at the shop...by the time I got home, both jackets were sold (buy it now), and the new shoes have a bid. Everything else except the lames have 1 or more people watching them.

    Dude...I couldn't fit into those lames if I tried!!! Plus...trust me...the original owner had MUCH better looks than I do.

    I'm actually hoping a slim Vietnamese lady named "Nguyen" buys at least one of the lames...saves me having to send lake fabric to cover the name...and, of course, Nguyen" is the VN version of "Smith" or "Jones"

    I'm getting a box for it...should go out next week.

    Everything sold except the Uhlmann lame and the old shoes. They've been relisted. The 2 remaining foils were sold off line (after the auction was completed...I;d gotton an email requesting sale from someone who missed the auction)
