lazarini Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 I have made a parts clearance sale about a month ago and posted i will update you with what i bought from that cash ... thx to the people that have bought my parts and enabled this sale ... ( U know who u are!) Once u have some nice Pams u need some nice straps everyone knows that ... personally i prefer to buy member made straps then the famous names but always there is that one strap u always wanted no ? For me it was Greg Stevens - Crazy Horse the 1st generation one ... don't get me wrong i like the 2gen. also but the hide is much darker on that edition ... Recently the 1st gen were hard to obtain as u need to keep ure eyes pealed at the screen to get one i was LUCKY to have found a NOS condition one never mounted from a seller in US. After begging him via email to sell it to me all do hi FS was Conus only he gave in ... It arrive today so here are some quick shoots needless to say im in love The package : Close up : Mounted on my VAC 111H: Table shoots : I hope u have enjoyed these shoots ... strap and buckle are really nice quality the hide is amazing thick construction but still super soft i can only recommend it ... he only downside is they do demand a bit of a premium when it comes to price. PS ... i will be presenting a strap soon made by a fellow member and is in route to me ( anyone wanna guess who he is) ... he is soon to be jumping on the strap scene so stay tuned, im not a strap expert but from what i saw he is a serious tallent For now have a nice day!

Seadweller4000 Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 Honestly one of the nicest combos I've ever seen... Please bring it to collogne.
sssurfer Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 Wow, great strap and combo! It looks pretty thick. Is it soft enough?

LAZ
dadog13 Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 one of the nicest straps ever built...looks great on the 111...pity it isn't available on the market anymore...only on the 2nd hand market, but it sells pretty quickly... congrats to the new owner...
lazarini Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Posted June 2, 2008 THX dadog13 ... ure right u can be hapy to get these one in 80 to 90% condition as they are not available anymore in this hide color ... as said it was my lucky day to stumble on NOS never mounted one regards Laz

fitmic Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 Wow!!! That's really a nice looking strap. I envy you.
Watchmeister Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 Great strap. It looks like a must have. Looks like I will be trolling around risti.
Star69 Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 cool strap !! perfect color hope you'll bring it to the GTG. Frank
lazarini Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Posted June 2, 2008 @ fitmic thx appreciated @ kruzer ... yea u need one u bet u get the 1st gen hide is amazing IMHO well worth keepin an eye on risti! @ kelster ... sir yes sir ... affirmative! Laz
TwoTone Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 Laz: Stunning combo... Unfortunately I see in the wrist shot that this Strap is actually to long for you... So, when you get frustrated with it [and the 111], simply send me a PM and I'll take it off your hands [wrist]... Thanks, Double T
lazarini Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Posted June 2, 2008 @ TT ...it is a bit on the "long side" for my wrist u have a PM! NOT ... anyway thx for the kind comment cheers! Laz
POTR Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 I doubt that there was ever one made large enough to fit me... and you guys think TT has big wrists... ask him about mine... Of course, if there IS a 145/105 1st Gen Crazy Horse floating around out there somewhere...
lazarini Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Posted June 3, 2008 Hi there my friend ... i just saw a 150/90 and even 155/90 CHs floating around Risti the other day ... long enough? if so u might be in luck as those XXL ones tend to have a longer sales cycle there fore more chance to pick one up Regards Laz
capice Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 I'm looking forward seeing this combo in Koln Laz, man, you're doing good.................
POTR Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 Too short on the 'top side', when your wrist is over 9 inches, the buckles tend to end up on the side of your wrist, which isn't comfortable (and just doesn't look right)... adding most of the extra length to the 'tail' doesn't help... don't know why strapmakers don't get that... Still, that is a very nice looking strap.
lazarini Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Posted June 3, 2008 Hmm i see what u saying ... check ure PM i have a tip for u My buckle is also on the side do truth to be told 135/85 is on a big size for me ... the thickness of the strap helps plus buckle on the side kinda feels comfy for me ... But sure all have their own wishes ... Laz
bwhitesox Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 Jeebs POTR your wrists are as large as my legs
POTR Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 Yeah, 105 is my minimum... I prefer something around 115-125 depending on how thick the strap is.. The only strap I tolerate with the nasty side buckle effect is the XL 11" NATO's which barely have any tail left to make it to the second keeper on me, and I don't like them much... One of these days I'll have to get GGB to hook me up with a "properly spaced" 14" NATO...
davethecat Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 Love the look. I went a similar direction with my 201a. Mine is from Savage. You cant see it, but the tail & keeper are similar.
