Ya that thing is a piece of art, not quite sold on the functionality of it yet, but scores and "11" in trickness factor! Sure wish more companies would make a badass CF chair, hell i am still pushing around a Quickie Carbon that i have had since the mid 90's! But still to this day get comments on it.

Thats a pretty amazing chair Scottie. I used to get to mess with the latest and greatest when I was a WC technician. My boss used to get all the new stuff to test because he was so hard on the equipment. This guy was 6'5" and he could climb stairs in his chair. We used to go fishing to walk in lakes and he would wheel all the way in, mostly on his own. Dude used to CRUSH his chairs in no time lol.

That new UK chair is a really nice (perfect) mix of Function and Art. The Tooling for those wheels, alone, would justify the insane price...

Ya Manny, the creator answered a bunch of questions about it on a forum, everyone was worried about how the handrim also being CF molded right into the wheel and how would it hold up to abuse / wear. He said they treated it with the same technology as F1 floor pans / diffusers.

You got 10k laying around i can "barrow"? Cool
