I hear ya - I've posted about this too and nobody knows what's up with them. I wonder if the guy died or something. Seriously, he said he would be back up and running in June. Too bad - I loved their product.

Does anyone know where they are physically located? I tried their "contact us" link hoping for an address, but got the "we are on vacation" message. Maybe someone who lives relatively close to the facility can swing by?

That would be great. They have nice product at a reasonable price. CF Angle is hard to find and very expensive when you do. I hope they return!

I got their phone number and email off of an old Paypal transaction from them. I called a month or so ago and left a message hoping to hear somthing back, but nobody ever called. I also emailed their paypal customer service address and never got a response. Not really sure whats up there. I have been holding off on buying some CF for a project for quite a while though and I'm about write these guys off and go pay more somewhere else.

I hope they do come back eventually, They had good product for a fair price. I don't need the "shinney" CF (or the extra cost that comes with it) that most other places sell. I just wanted light and strong and they fit the bill perfectly.

Kinda sucks.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...

If CF is hard to get/expensive, how about making some fiberglass angles? of course, they would have to be a little thicker for strength.

If you don't have the physical address (the Paypal transaction should have it), you can do a reverse phone number search...

Fiberglass angles are readily available.

McMaster has a reasonable selection.

At that point I'd consider just emailing Mike w/Cad drawings and ask him to "modify" some stock aluminum angle for lighter weight & better appearance then line it to protect the batteries.

The angle could then double as a chassis stiffener.
