<strong>Hi Bob,
I first learned of them last July when I found them on the Internet. I contacted them by email and sent detailed pictures of the grips I had seen at Bob Simpson's place, inquiring whether they were the source of the grips. They confirmed that they were and offered to sell a set of the grips directly to me for the 51-EUR equivalent in USD. I provided a credit card number, and they shipped the grips directly from Germany to North Carolina in about a week.
Sorry they have decided not to ship to the US. I can't imagine the reason.
Regards,
Luke</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">Dear Luke:
With an unemployment rate of over 12%, one would think that a German firm would be happy for our business. <img border="0" alt="[thumbsup]" title="" src="graemlins/bigok.gif" />
Well, I guess not.
Thanks anyway.
