I was in in Riderz today picking up my new 174 black T3 and had a look the can and all I can say is WOW!! It was very well built. it was light, very light. They are hoping the price will come in around 600$-650. I've put my order in. They are claiming 106 decibels. :Cool9:
If your sure it was Ken, call mountain magic and ask him. He has been doing this for a lot of years and know his stuff. Helped me with clutching a few years back was good to deal with.
