yes.. icarian was bought by precor a few years back.. the line basically stayed the same except for the precor logo.. but, we have top remember he is in the uk.. not the states.. many of the u.s. lines are very expensive by the time the line is shipped to distributors in the uk from cali.
personally.. europe has great equipment.. i know that there is a distributor of gym80 and david equipment lines in the uk.. the best equipment i have ever used was from gym80.. they are out of germany.. great leverage equipment too.. also.. you have some like GERVASPORT which would carry inexpensive free weight benchs and poweracks.. look to them to do the freeweight portion of the gym.. good stuff and low price..
Thanks LATS I never thought of Europe. The reason for going to the US was because of the exchange rate of the Pound to Doller now. Thanks for the hook ups, GERVASPORT is worth looking into. Thanks.
Try Grant Roberts, he's one of the largest refurb equipment dealers in North America. To give you an example, say a piece of Hammer equipment is new $2000.00 US, he'll sell you a refurbished (new powder coat, new upholstery, etc, looks/operates new) for $1200.00
Somthing like this would be great. If it was a all in one stop for everything I need. "A complete hardcore gym". As I am in the UK and it would be eaiser for me to deal with one company.
All is good with the baby we had our last scan yesterday. I will pass on your regards to the lovely Michelle. The first 8 months was text book perfect. The last month has been hard for her.
