GrumpySmurf 0 #1 May 29, 2002 Yay! It's a combo of blackberry and turquoise.Now I get the joy of SLinking my own canopy to risers, hooking up toggles and doing a line continuity check for the f*rst time.Good gawd is the thing slippy though - I pulled it out of the bag to make sure the serial number and type matched what was on the order form (last thing I need is a Stiletto 135 show up with the same colours, by mistake) - took a while to stuff it back in, can't imagine the joy it is going to be stuffing it in a D-Bag (I'm too stubborn to resort to a packer).My Safire 169 is to be forever relegated to a box in my closet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites ChromeBoy 0 #2 May 29, 2002 QuoteMy Safire 169 is to be forever relegated to a box in my closet What colors and how much would you sell it for?

I think it may need relining - so I may get rid of it for $450 if there is anyone around SDC that was interested *shrug*.
