@ Dann : ok then.
@ Paul : do you have a blue iridium strip?

Alexander
No that's the one I want
I have two +red and one grey

He had a couple pairs listed on eBay and I was asking about the boxes. We got talking and I asked if he had any pics of the other pairs and this is what he sent me. I believe all of these have been sold off over the last couple years. I was just happy to get the pics. The Mumbo box with the Heater stickers is pretty cool. Since most of the stock is gone I was unable to get the date codes off the boxes. Sorry about the confusion.

I know only one collector in south of France who has got a blue iridium strip.

I have kinda given up on that one. I only a really good state grey strip and am happy like that.

Still on the chase for a carbon and black rain frame and I will feel like my Mumbo/M Frame quest is over. Well maybe.

PS : I would love a heater fire iridium, a +red sweep... an M Frame box which I still dont have as amazing as that seems to me... what else! A red nosepiece/earstem kit, a transparent one too... Oh dear, its not over!!!

Lol
I'm not looking for but sometime I'm sure ill want to complete thd m frame sets so I need crystal blue,crystal clear, crystal black and black rain then I have them all
I'm not gonna get started on nosepiece and ear socks

Nosepiece and ear socks kits pffffouah... I have neon yellow, neon green and neon pink but... I still miss too many. I have never seen a red one selling anywhere. Anyway.

Yeah, to have all the frame color ways that ever were available on the market is also my affordable goal.

Good luck to us!

My list of pieces I need for the M is so long there isnt room here to post it all. At least I have the black rain and fingerprint taken care of so one less guy looking for those.

What is it with France and having a good number of Strip lenses? It's like Germany and Carbon Ichiros and 0.3s. Would love to eventually figure out why some regions have some of the rarer stuff when you wouldn't think they would have any; the allocation strategy would be interesting to find out.

Dang, all the replies to this thread was blowing up my email, haha.

I got two Heater sticker Mumbo boxes, both 12-9. Makes all the sense to me, any Mumbo lens shape other than the V, 67, or Hybrid would have been offered really late in the year and coincidentally right before the box change. V, 67, Hybrid, Heater, those are the only Mumbo shapes to me.

I also have a Mumbo with Heater sticker. I will check out the number.

BriP asked me about a Blade Nosepiece that wasn't quite fitting onto a Blade lens. Got me wondering about the various nosepieces that we have from Blade to Modern M Frames.

Blade:


Slit:


Zero:



Odd Sub Zero:


Older Style M Frame Kit:


Newer Style M Frame Kit:


SI M Frame 2:


Almost seems like there was a smaller style just after shrinking from the Blade/Mumbo to the Modern 'pointed' M Frame nose piece, were it was still flatter, but also smaller. The SI M Frame 2 also did away with the pointed form.

Isnt the odd Zero one a Mag M frame nose piece?

It apparently is as I've been told just now. I Keep on learning.

Whoever got that Gold Mine on eBay that ended a few days ago..... You git! :0) there's also been 2 carbon fibres on eBay this last week too. Just when I'm skint from building a bike!!

Always the way right. The best opportunities only come when you're not able to act on them.

Yeh that sucks hey
There a min x serial Juliet ruby I want but no wonga to splasha

Saw that G1 Gold Mine, thought about it but didn't go for it since I got too many other things I'm trying to complete. Does anyone have G1 M Frame boxes? Hahah.

I guess I missed the Gold Mine, what was the auction number?

I got to figure out how I missed that one. Something in my search criteria didnt grab it. I would have bought those

Good price

A steal, I was sniped within the last second, there was hardly any activity on them so was getting my hopes built up, ah well, would have bid a lot more if had the cash spare

Arf! Pfff... beauties!

Hi everyone, I'm Levente (from Hungary) and sort of new to the forum.
Pls help me this m frame is legit or...


Thanks for the help.

Fake. The text on the lens should be etched, not printed (plus the font is wrong). The rest of the frame is poor quality. The patents are just left over from whomever made the mold to cast these ones.
