Kryptonics K-Beam REISSUE, hand made Alba Model, Indy Stage II 169s reissue C65s
August 18th 2019 -
This is one of a small handful of “fan made” “reissue” Kryptonics K-Beam decks. You can read the story of how these boards were made here. I don’t know how many he made but reportedly it was less than 20. This one has never been ridden. Stood on, pushed around on the floor a bit, but I never had the heart. To actually do anything to damage it. I wanted to, but I also wanted NOT to. I had the blue circle K applied professionally by a local graphic artist. It’s been clear gripped on top. The trucks are authentic, ultra rare original Independent Stage 2 169s. In mint, UNGROUND condition. The wheels are recent reissue Kryptonics C-65s in blue. The bearings are new old stock “vintage” fully double sealed Hoover-NSKs that will easily outlast every set of. Modern shielded bearings on the market. These old Hoover-NSKs with their full contact double seals stay clean inside. And there’s really no difference in rolling friction at all. I never found a set of vintage correct CX wheels for this that looked good enough for this otherwise minty board, so I went. With the reissue C series instead. But a set of NOS blue CX-64s or CX-66′s would be perfect for it. Sadly, the company behind the reissue Kryptonics wheels never has reissued the CX dubcons. Much as I wish they had. /2 inch blue riser pads are included. Bolt pattern is old school. As a man cave decoration for an old school skater who is nostalgic about the early 80s skate scene.
