Can you just do screen captures and post them as .png or .jpg files? I’m not trying to be lazy, I just don’t want to install some software so I can see an image, just so I can later trash the file and uninstall the software.

It’s kind of bland, but that doesn’t mean anything. I like nice, simple, clean lines. It does remind me of a Legacy II but in metal. I’d like to see you stick a virtual bearing in there and then put the two halves together so I can really see the profile.

The RecRev Sharp is about as plain as it can get. The DiBase is very simple. Lack of lines doesn’t mean bad. I think the spike in the middle could use being a bit larger though to add a bit more center weight.

I think it would be better to add the new photos in a different post, even within the thread, for the purposes of tracking changes. Otherwise, the thread loses context.

It’s hard to have comments on a design make sense when comments are made and then photos are swapped out.

(Sorry, it’s the tech writer in me. We document changes in revisions so we can see if we’re making progress in the right or wrong direction, who is responsible and who should make the changes)

Plus, I’m not too thrilled with the new images and I think the weight is going to be a major turn-off. While I like heavy, 70 grams is a bit too much. Without a sliced apart profile picture, it’s hard to suggest where to remove weight.
