Hummmm, that's not a reason unless your are not eating your Readybrek (morning cereal), get down the gym

Back mounted rig is cool, no clanging sidies, but would do it if it saves $$$$ in travel costs.

No thanks, I eat donuts every morning and have successfully avoided the gym for years...

Now, would those of you who are "DIR wannabe" and "rich Boris b*$t*rd" stop going

You wish, it wasn't for you...

We have a little workshop issue (wrong welding delivered) so we are ~1 day behind schedule, but I hope all frames will be shipped before the shop is closed for Xmas.

Cancel Xmas!! (I've got my pressie!)

My Weenieframe arrived this morning (many thanks Phi).

It was so light! I thought it was something my wife had ordered , read the address again it was definitely mine!!!

Full report when I get it wet, hopefully wednesday next week?

Cheers

Great, look forward to your review Paul.

Yes, I got my Xmas pressie last night as well. Not as light as the Travel-Frame, but it has Tiptronic and 280 HP...

No, sorry.

As much as I like the specs on the Boris and as much as Zak would like for me to believe it has the same thickness as the CK, it is just too big for me when compared to other CCR units.

I have had 2 big Rebreather units in the past (PVR-BASC and BMR-500) so I experience first-hand what a PITA when trying to dive them in current and/or simply transport them around.

I will wait for Kevin to make a baby-Boris, or Sport-Boris, version.
