Can anyone help me track down pink bodywires

[bleeblue]

Hello everyone

I've travelled all the way from Australia to the US with pink epee and foil wires on the top of my wish list... only to find that Duellist USA is no more

So i'm wondering if anyone can help me track down some pink bodywires please please please!

Thanks in advance

Duellist UK?

they don't make them

I can't think of a place that makes them, because most fencers have self-respect. If you must have them, find some pink stereo wire and make your own.

Of course, that's a quest in itself, but I'm sure you can get that somewhere...

Maybe there's something you can put over a non-pink body cord. A pink sleeve or something. Maybe a body cord version of Craig's infamous pink fuzzy!

Pink fuzzy body cord... I think you're on to something!

Swordmasters sells them, I think.

Does it matter if the entire wire is pink? If not, then you could just spraypaint the plastic ends with pink Krylon Fusion(obviously tape all the conductive parts before spraying). Or you could find some thin pink tape and just wrap your existing body wires in it. The tape option may not be the most comfortable, but it might match your pink glove that you are searching for.

Just out of the question, why do you want pink bodycords so much?

Send Rick Shellhouse on this forum a PM, he might have some parts still in stock.

Is his full name the name i use to PM?

I want a pink cord as in Australia i'm getting the reputation of being called the pink fencer

Thanks for the help everyone

Fuzzy pink cord... now there is an idea :P

Why is it everytime I see Rick's name mentioned, the problem is something I've already gone through?

Tim Loomis, Yeoldearmorer has the rest of Rick's pink bodywire, and before you start, I bought the pink bodycords for my significant other, I didn't think they were nearly electric pink enough to go with my epees.

As an aside, search for my thread about them, the coating of the wires makes them fragile, and they tend to seperate, and piss me off. Leon Paul makes a good bodywire, Uhlmann does, and so does FenceWithFun (Well, actually they're the same thing.)

Go for functionality first, and then go for looks.

At JOs there was a woman who was selling body cords in all colors, including multiple colors on a single cord. There was just about any color you wanted because she was advertising them as a way to wear your club/team colors during a tourn. Maybe she'll be at Nationals.

IIRC, that was Duellist USA.

Unless you were thinking of someone else.

No, it was Duellist, the same person. She offered to sell Cherry with a white stripe to the ehad coach at Temple U.

Would heat shrink tubing work? I did a search on the web and it appears you can get it in pink.

Good luck.
