I had mentioned earlier that we were pre-approved for a home loan with me having no income and a 0 credit score. It was a roller coaster ride for a while there and it looked like everything was going to fall through, but as of this morning…. We bought a house!!

Yo, specifically throw yo! Anyone else get their protos yet. I love how Brev @rkalajian tests stuff this way and I really enjoy throw yo string.

I’d really like to try an operator one of these days. I asked my parents about one for Christmas, but they thought it was too expensive.

It’ll be a while before the Operator actually goes into production so you could save as much as possible before it happens. For real it seems like we are preferring a second prototype with a slightly lowered wall and slightly heavier. So it’s really going to be a while before production on these.

Do you have a rough price range?
I’ve asked this before but it’s been a little bit, wonder if anything has changed.
I have played them a little bit.
Yellow/Green seems to abrasive to me. Interesting thing, the string seems to hold memory.
Blue - Feels the best, but looses tension quickly, seems to be lacking structure.
Pink/Purple is my pick from the batch. I think I would really like this in 8CP. Maybe the Workhorse production string???
I don’t even remember what the prototypes cost, but they’ll usually run a bit higher because they are a small run. I believe they were $95.

Plan $100 and you should be close.
We are finalizing the numbers on the Workhorse.
Hint - Watch for the order form November 1st through the 3rd for the first production run.

Funny.
I like inks. And the blue is an ink so nothing crazy there.
The green is way better in play to me even if it’s more abrasive, purple whips really well and feels nicest but play is slower and idk not as satisfying.

So @Pun1sh3R’s blue is different than @Captrogers’ blue. I have everyone Proto 1 & Proto 2, then a bonus third string. Cody got a Detergent proto, which is 100% Rayon. Brandon got an Ink.
I believe @Snoopy is getting an Elixir as their third, and @Yodaddyo got a Catalyst.
@JSERR … I forgot what their 3rd string is 
It may be a Vapor Prototype.

I just got back from a work trip and they came in while I was out, so planning on testing them out tonight and tomorrow probably!
Mine were:
Purple/Pink - Proto 1
Green/Yellow - Proto 2
Blue Steel Catalyst

I should get my string soon, I may have gotten it already, I just haven’t checked yet. My mailbox is a bit of a walk from my house, and the angle is so steep you can’t get back up if you’re driving in the snow. 
oh, and would Elixir work well on any Fixie? or just my butterfly?

Gah! I should’ve known that! I have Underestimated the capabilities of Throw-Yo string…

I tested one for a bit. I want to say it was purple/green. I could be wrong but I think that was the colors. From what I remember, the whips and slacks are very fast, to the point where they require almost no effort, but the tension was a little wonky. It could be too tight on half the string and too lose on the other half. It was also a little rough on my soft skyline fingers lol
I had something come up this week and haven’t had a chance to try the other two and I can’t remember what colors they were either. I’m hoping I’ll get some time to mess with the rest sometime this week.
