Agreed, this is one of those “shout from the rooftop” with praise types of throws for anyone into fixed axle from my experience, especially in the wood realm. The Buffalo is like a jack of all trades for me, the Badger is peak for 0A and the Natural series is for when I want to try to bust out longer 1A responsive combos. But if I had to suggest one, it would be the Buffalo, I have an Alpha and a custom throw on the way so that may change ---

Managed to scoop this up! Couldn’t believe my bid actually won! Never thought it would in a million years! A Nickel OneDrop Cafe Racer. I really love the oleskool logo! It’s fading a little, but still looks awesome. Could use a cleaning that’s for sure. I popped ahalfspec in it and it’s a lot of fun! Did a little search, I think they were pretty popular back in the day. 😁 ![IMG_1739](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/d/d/bdd72fead20681d140864a8df0f3601eb4ca067e.jpeg) ---

I feel like the community has made those 3d printable by now as well. Maybe I’m hallucinating like chat gpt. The one bee I have lived in a case and rarely sees the light of day as a collector thing ---

Yeah most likely but in the same sense it’s made the 3d printed ones worthless for a collector for obvious reasons. ---
