Obviously you all donā€™t remember the 1a (large bearing) Pure, painted by Levi (1 of 2)ā€¦

I miss this thing like crazy.

That looks great, but I donā€™t know that Levi added any particular ā€˜personalityā€™-- wouldnā€™t anyone who knew how to paint aluminum be able to do that?

Sure. But the point is that it is only 1 of 2 LARGE bearing Pures. Itā€™s a beast.

Ah, I thought the 1 of 2-ness was the Levi painting, not the large bearingness. Pretty cool.

I have a Gold Pure and I would kill for a large bearing! I think they should make a modern shaped, c-bearing, silicone groove throw with the cap design like the Pure. I also would love to see full-sized punchlines. Iā€™ve mentioned both these ideas to Steve already so maybe one day they would become a reality.

Btwā€¦glad to see you back on the forums Nickā€¦Assuming the name change was because you moved to miami now?

One slight correction to set the history books straightā€¦ Those two were actually powder coated white by a local shop (not Levi). The the gaps/bearing seats were machined after coating in an attempt to ensure concentricity. Power coating can make things go wobbly.

Levi only painted the Pure XOs.

Iā€™m really baffled at the price, even with it being red oak. I want to buy one, so I can just say I own it and use it. But I donā€™t have 50 dollars atm. bummer. oh well, Iā€™ll save up and buy a Spyder 2 or Addiction when I can. I will be a part of the SPYY club again, I swear.

I thought it was pricey, too. :frowning: But I wanted one of the first run ones badly enough that I paid for the premium on this one so that Iā€™d have no regrets. I did pass on the mahogany Baldwin at a similar price point, though.
