REO P67

[Oupa]

Hi guys

We really wanted to do a REO pre order this week, but it seems we will have to wait for now.

See below the message I received from Rob today:

"Hello Benji doing good my friend thanks for asking

I wont have any p 67s for at least another two months . I am really slowing down if you would like me to email you when I have some ready I would be happy to do that.

Rob"

So for those who just cannot wait, I suggest you grab one of the P67s still in stock directly from Rob at www.reosmods.com

Cheers
Oupa

Thanks for the update @Oupa

 

[Rob Fisher]

Bummer... thanks Benji!

Thanks @Oupa

I'm not quite ready now, so hopefully the Rand will strengthen more in two months.

What are we looking at landed cost off the site directly - around R4k?

With the current exchange rate yes that would be about right with shipping and vat etc...

Sheess!

Maybe I can convince HRH that the kids dont need to go to school for a month. The fees would cover that. They pretty sharp kids already anyway

Shew that is pretty steep.

Shew that is pretty steep.

Then buy a Custom Classic Mod which is twice the price or a high end Italian box mod that is even more.

One day when I grow up hehehe

Thank you, @Oupa. Yeah, I see the raw tumbleds are out of stock already. Might just go for the old shape - the top button is a safer proposition for me. If so, then the Economy Raw Tumbled LP Reo Grand actually makes a lot of sense at $130.00 (around R2000.00). Here is the site description:

The economy LP Reo grand has all the same parts as all the other Reo models . Adjustable stainless 510 , beryllium copper gold plated contacts , high heat push button .

The only difference is these haven't been tumbled as long so there not as soft to the touch . Some minor imperfections that would be removed with the finale tumbling will be there .​

Ok, mind made up. Shall order this evening!

Interesting way to look at it...

I have zero issues with the older one, other than the fact that the atty's I would use mostly happen to be 22mm. So they would obviously look better on the P67.

Am I willing to pay double the money, for arguably just the aesthetic improvement - probably not.

I keep looking at the White SL P67... not going to look anymore... I have enough REO's already!

I think you made a typo there you said you HAVE enough Reo's? Blasphemy!

True, and the overhang really is minor. Another consideration is that I would not have to carry another set of spares if I go for the older shape.

You joking... right?

Rand is sliding again... better order sooner rather than later @Andre

I'm prepared to wait a few months for a P67 @Oupa, put me down for the next group buy whenever. Blue metallic powdercoat or White powdercoat with R.A.D. :

So as I understand it correctly, the whole range will still be available in future (including the economy), just not in full flourish like before?

Well you made perfect sense to me. And sold me on the Eco.

Then again, I own 1 Grand, and you own quite a few... raw... tumbled ones. If you know what I mean
