new supplier site

[latenight]

www.fencepbt.com is a new site selling pbt gear. looks like they are still in the process of getting ready though. I doesn't look like any prices are listed yet.

Ildiko Mincza looks like a hot babe. Geez, the women's epee group is loaded with them, starting with Laura Flessel-Colovic, Romagnoli, and our own Arlene Stevens.

Their site has prices now.

Guys, check out the picture of Ildiko Mincza, #1 in the world, woman's epee. What a BABE!!!!

Now, if NBC had a good look at her, they'd televise fencing in a heartbeat!

[edew]

You got it! Get thee to the X Show! They'll show her off.

[Cutter]

Fencing "babes"? Common guys. I don't think any woman who does this sport does it to "look good." We much prefer whipping up on you guys.

Reach out and "touch" someone.

The site is run by the touche fencing club in charlotte nc.

I'm a woman and I definately do it to look good!!! Still working on it.

The sport does wonders for the glutes.
Big problem ... white just makes your hips look big. (Does this make me look fat?)

Boy did this thread go off-target in a hurry!

Site looks very promising, I hate not having pictures, I know it's sort of dumb, but I like to see what I'm getting, and the layout is nice.

Has anyone else noticed that the washable glove they have is the Uhlmann glove? I have an Uhlmann, and it actually had "Made in Hungary" on a label inside, so I'm wondering if PBT actually makes the thing for them.

(Mincza is kind of a babe).

To continue the off-target discussion--I think the entire Italian women's foil team are very attractive... er... babes?

Just throw your glove in the washer (cold) and let her rip. I wouldn't throw it in the dryer though. They call them washable for a reason.

Ok, continuing off topic try the Italian OR the French mens teams........DROOOOOOOL fest city.

[MikeHarm]

The ladies look allright, so do what prices they have up. I'll check them out a bit more when they're open, I have to get some gear to get ready for a tournament in Novemeber I intend on participating in.

On topic:

Still would like to see some prices. So far every piece of PBT equipment I've seen (shoes and a couple of their masks)appear to be nicely made.

Off topic:

The Italian women's sabre team. Lovely enough to be forgiven for fencing sabre!!!

Oh heck yea Ildiko Mincza's a babe. did you see what mask she had? That means if I get that mask she'll like me! (I think we all know that was a pretty obvious plug by the laxan mask people)

Guys!

One of the guys at my club has used PBT gear and he hasn't had any problems. It's pretty cheap over in the UK, but I haven't seen any for awhile.

[HilandDoug]

So how about some links to the Italian woman's team pic?

There is one item on their site that I don't think will fly: the $300 2-Weapon scoring machine. Not with something like the Eigertek offering 3-W for only $50 more. Unless the price could be dropped to about half that (very doubtful), there's really no reason for 2-W boxes to exist on the market anymore.

As for attractive south- & east- European female fencers, I figure that since Blade spent most of the last year using beefcake photos of Cliff to hawk their gear, it's only fair that the other half of the population gets to play, too .
