Keep the faith Batts, I looked for a couple of years before I got my second pair of bourdeuxs. They're out there, you just have to be "really" patient.

Rarest pair i've gotta go with sabs green cvs!!Only pair i've ever seen and like most of didn't even know they bloody existed.
Really does depend on your size though and how fussy you are about condition.

Haha define "really patient".

That's a rare skate there Grimmy, what size are you, flatspot have some for sale.

I haven't seen many people with my red stripe hemps and they were quite easy/flukey to pick up.

See my grail list for ones I'm still after.

fc maybe some day

OG blue CLRs. Don't see many of them about!

What size are you - if you're in need of a pair - I've seen a few about.

It did make me laugh when you said second pair of Bordeauxs! Some of us are still waiting on the first!

Robert, I'm a US13/UK12.5 (i know, massive feet).

Green nubuck's have so far eluded me, damn things.

I take a UK 11 or 11.5 Batts, so if you know of any good condition CLRs, let me know. I got mine from Union back in '02 when they were releases, wore them for nearly 3 straight weeks around New York. They're not shredded, but they're on their way, so I always want to get another reserve pair.

Or if you know a pair in a UK 9.5 .

@fc: I know. I'm a UK10. I contacted Flatspot about them like a week after their release and they were already out of stock for good so no fun for lil Grim.

Natterjacks have also had them since the release but all the "10"s they've had listed, have either been 9.5 or 10.5 after they've checked the actual stock. So no luck for me there either. These series of skates are perfect for me in 10 so won't be going up or down half a size with them.

Is that these ones J? . . . modelled by my mate in the background.
They're the only skates I've even tried on - very nice too. His are a 10, I'll ask him where he got them but I don't think it was that recent.

PM's sent to marco and sp.

@GB: Yep they're the ones! Size 10s have been highly elusive for me for the whole time I've been after them.

These Oranges are a rare find these days, I know many on here would love a pair. I've still to find a size 7.

pair of bordeaux's in Uk10.5 if anyone wants them..

you will be paying well for it though

I'm dying for someone to send me some 80s to paint orange. I think they would look awesome!
