CU and more CU

Judging by the activity on the blog we have been sitting around, doing nothing. Well, that is not quite true. As a matter-of-fact, I have at least 3 unknown protos for various models lying around on my desk as I type this, but these things do take time.

So it looks quiet, but is not. Back to the present... We've updated everybody's favourite micro yo-yo for a new run - they have been out of stock for too long now. We call this one the CU sexy-eye addition - lots of makeup but apart from that, all the goodness you've come to expect in this micro model.



Second up for today are the final images for the CU Later. We are in the process of starting to take orders for these, so expect to see them (along with the updated CU) at your favourite store soon.

The CU Later is a slightly undersized scaled-up version of the CU. Take the CU, enlarge all dimensions by 1.3157 (50mm diameter, 39mm width, aluminium), keep the weight at 65g, add a 5x11x5 bearing for a decent 4.2mm gap, add Alchemy Vapor pads for silicone response goodness, bead-blast the body for a smooth grinding surface, anodize it in black, print a cool cat-eye logo, add an Alchemy string and you have the CU Later.





(Unfortunately the CU Later photos turned out a bit brown - we should have better photos up soon enough to show the exact black color. For now, just imagine it darker.)
