I know that poll we did said we were mostly teenage student trannies or something, but I as wondering if any of you lads walked with a stick?
I have a bog standard one from the NHS, but if I could get one that worked just as well and was a little more stylish that would be the ideal for me. I've had a look about and it's difficult to find one which would suit someone in his late 20s. They are, not surprisingly, mostly aimed at old people and polished oak probably wouldn't go with my Adidas Super Colours.
Any tips? Recommendations for sites, etc? There is a website called Cold Steel which sells plain black ones made of polypropylene which I'm leaning towards, but I don't know how naff that would look in a few years. I'm looking to spend about £50, so I'm hoping for it to last a while and I'll be using it every day potentially, and possibly for a bit of walking further afield on camping holidays, etc.
I hadn't really thought about carbon fibre, certainly a fringe item as I've not seen one anywhere in my idle browsing, but I'll give it a proper search.
>>5382 Might try Etsy or places like that, there's surely a hobbyist engineering type somewhere who'd love to knock together something to your specs in his shed.
>>5383 From my limited knowledge of carbon fibre, I don't think it's the kind of thing that a hobbyist can knock about with in a shed. You need a massive vacuum oven or something.
You can make fairly complex CF pieces at home these days using sheets of carbon fibre and epoxy resin.
Even if you don't go that route I think carbon fibre wrapped stuff looks nice, to me anyways.
Other than that, plain black is going to go with anything and everything. If you want to have fun with it you could always go the pimp route and get something with a skull on it.
There is one like that here I like the look of, but I reckon the paint might chip off so I'm hesitant. There are other options, although some of them strike me as being penis extensions for emasculated disabled males and might have the problem of form over function which would make it a waste of money.
