Title: Superlight base section
Post by: ftp on September 07, 2009, 10:19:31 pm

Is this one of them?
Seems a bit pricey for one section?

I have to admit to being a Gardiners snob  ;D
But even I was shocked at £100 a tube!  :o
Must be a typing error  ;)

When we brought the Super-Lite out over two years ago we were able to retail them for £52 each +VAT.  However during that time the price of carbon has only gone one way.  We unfortunately have had to increase the cost to the consumer. We actually held off putting a price rise in for quite a long time.  You will notice that other high modulus carbon fibre products have risen by 50-70% on the world market.  You do get free shipping now with them which used to cost £14.95 so it's not all bad............
