Thanks Lance

Faded, howsabout my old set?  I'll see if I can find a photo.  They're Z Custom, SCTA-approved (have the button from '05), two-tone grey, and include an aero "hump" on the upper back - that's zippered in and should be removable (but I've never tried to take out the padding so won't guarantee it).  One piece, armor only in the basic places - no back or thighs, maybe no to other places, too.

I haven't worn them in quite a while - but take them to every event in case someone needs to borrow a set.  But while altruism is nice -- a few bucks would be nicer.  They cost me about $800 or so new in 1997 or so.  Adolph at Z will probably still have the specs in his files.

Custom painting?  Well, I'm not going to send the bodywork cross-country and anyway, we don't have much that needs freshening - everything is already custom painted and all I might have is a touch-up, but again -- it's a long way from Upper Michigan to your place.  Maybe a new helmet or two -- we both have to get new for the '11 season.  We'll consider that, maybe -- but cash is great and accepted by most stores up here.

We can PM or email about things like price.  And I'll find a photo and send it separately - if I find it, that is.
