windycity Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 poxy bloody pu tops they are all pants when it comes down to it the only one that last is the 125 pin super dark as they seem to be made of a different type of plastic mix. i find it amazing that the plastic mix for odells can be made in germany shipped to china and moulded into pu's there and shipped back to the uk for us to use thats some carbon footprint .

keithm Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 What a shame that Topy won't sell their own pu in the UK. The last time I spoke with them in France, they told me that the UK wholesaler informed them that there was 'no market' in the UK for them. Sure, they're not cheap, but there are superb quality Make your own minds up Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithm Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 France!! Try e-mailing Topy direct. I had a brief look and they don't seem to offer the pu. But I would still e-mail them if I were you. Have a look around while you're there though, they have some great products http://www.topy.fr/produits_fr/index.php4?id_famille=5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
