I'm guessing they don't have the bars in hand yet. I'm sure once they do they'll get pics and/or vids posted.

Knurl comparison below. The new knurl is on the left, old on the right. It may be difficult to tell from the picture, but having held it in my hands and getting a lot of feedback since we've had the knurl sample for the past couple of weeks, it's significantly deeper and feels great.
Endcap. We centered it for the OCD
Still around 6-7 weeks out until they arrive but I think we've gotten as close to perfection as we can get with the knurl and grooved sleeves (will have pics of those once we get closer to arrival).www.repfitness.com - Gym equipment manufacturer.

BTW, for those that were looking at the original looks like there's a special price on it right now which makes an already good price a great deal. Even with the lighter knurling with some chalk it still holds ok.

I noticed that there's a spot on the site for discount codes. Is there a bb.com equipment forum discount?

Looks like there's only one of the original bars left. Can't wait to see more of the new ones.

Sorry I haven't followed this thread but I have a Wright HD zinc bar with no center knurl and it's great. Sounds like this rep fitness company pretty much copied this design.

I looked that wright HD bars at the time as well as Pendlay's. They are not the same as the Rep Elite Excalibur.
from the wright HD description
Constructed from 155000 PSI steel, the Wright HD 20-kilogram barbell has a 28.5mm shaft, Olympic knurling, and a bright zinc finish. The collars feature a snap ring design and smooth bushings, and the shaft has no center knurling. At $299 each, these are the least expensive lifetime guaranteed barbells available, but they're a value at twice the price.My Training Journal: http://tinyurl.com/jasons-journal

Hi guys, haven't said much here because the manufacturer has been going slooooow due to a delay with their bar straightener supplier. They just got the bars done, but the shipment won't arrive hear till around Aug 12. I may be able to get some new pics up later this week or early next showing the differences if I can get my supplier to do me a favor before they pack them up.

Not yet, we are simply taking pre-orders for them now that they are actually en-route. Over a month behind on production...shoot me now please Good news is that assuming these are 'just right' we will be immediately re-ordering to ensure no more out of stock issues. Feedback on the first run of bars was actually really positive and all of the people that bought it for CrossFit love them.

New Bars Are IN!
We received them today, and I have to say I am extremely pleased. They are as close to perfection as I think we can get. Pics and rough video:
Not sure how to embed a Youtube video but I will try:
The changes you can see are that the sleeves have a very fine grooving to them. I've seen a lot of low-end bars with very large, rough grooves. These are nothing like that and it's very shallow grooves. The knurl is deeper than the old knurl and "just right" I think, and we've had a knurl sample that we've had everyone that walks in the door the last couple of months put their hands on and give us their opinion. It's basically unanimous that the new knurl depth is a great improvement. The knurl know extends all the way to the collars. Lastly, we put chrome on the sleeves but kept zinc on the bar shaft. The chrome wears better on the sleeves with metal-to-metal contact scraping against weights and will look better longer, while the zinc gives a better look and feel on the shaft.
I think they are basically a work of art as they are now, and that sleeve rotation is just amazing as always, if not better than it was before.Last edited by dukenukem7777; 09-11-2013 at 09:00 PM.
