York Barbell Club - Part II

[eoakland]

New additions to the collection today, 8x45 York DD, 60's bar, and Shipwheels. Another bar where the knurling is "turned down" I guess we are calling it. The knurling is thinner than the bar diameter.

Great find! Love to see those shipwheels!!!!

[STR8OUT]

Thanks Guys, the shipwheels are the most fun to find. Here is the ships I have so far. 3 pairs York, 1 pair Paramount, 1 pair Berg Hantel

[matrix563]

3 pairs?! i'd be happy with one pair

[ffrink]

3 pairs?! i'd be happy with one pair

But, it never ends.......

[dexter000]

^^ Very nice, STR8OUT. Please post a picture of ALL your DDs. Have you exceeded 30 pairs yet?

[dexter000]

Did a little rearranging of my York display.







No, that is not a York bar on the stands, at least I don't think it is.....

[THErunCMD]

Looks good. I'd like to do something similar but with the kids it's not gonna happen

[STR8OUT]

Looks awesome Al! I really like the display! Figuring out how to display is probably the hardest part of this hobby

I had 15 pairs, then traded 4 pairs away few weeks ago for the full triplex set, then just got 6 pairs over the past 2 weeks so now I'm at 17 pairs total. I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but I cant stop buying them lol

[STR8OUT]

Al, do you have your Paramount DD set displayed? I am soooooooo in need of a pair of the Paramount plates. I have 1 PLATE due to a great friend but need 1 more plate to make a "pair". The iron gods are laughing at me from above I'm sure

I feel your pain, Brian. You should $weet talk our mutual friend in MD for hi$ pair of Paramount$.

Mine are on my wall. One of my Paramount shipwheels won't loosen.

[AttyGuy]

Lol. Sweet set-up, Al. I have to come over soon to check it all out.

ST8OUT, he'll probably give them to you if you do some Deliverance impressions and he likes them. If you know what I mean. . .

[STR8OUT]

Awesome display! Trust me I've already tried prying the Paramounts from him haha

I've got just the thing for the stuck shipwheel. Mix equal parts of ATF and Acetone (Nail Polish remover) and let the shipwheels soak in it face down without letting the leather touch. ATF and Acetone is the absolute best rust/bolt removal soak. Its not advertised but if you search test results it beats "shelf sprays" by a huge amount. I let one of my Triplex globes sit in this and the screw in cap came loose after 24 hours.

Did you bring ether and a towel?

[STR8OUT]

One day I will sneak into that basement and those Paramounts will be mine!! He had trained guard parrots down there last time I was there so I may hold off.

Here is one of many posts bout the penetrating oil tests done: http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=20131.0

That will at least take care of the bird.

[smokinHawk]

man those displays loo, nice. But I like to use my stuff, thats why I got the milled pre-usa sets
Accurate, and thin so I can load a bunch on the bar.

how accurate are those deep dishs

I love the look of those DD yorks with the red lettering

Sure, Atty, let me know.

Thanks, Brian. Will give that a try.

Brian, have you tried to do a trade with him? Not weights for weights, but parrots for Paramounts. I hear he LOVES parrots in a special way.

I hear you. What I use everyday is in my basement gym. Displayed in my home office are some of my collectibles. They aren't accurate (e.g., one of the Zuver plates is probably off by 4 pounds), but they are special to me.

Finally finished my lone DD today.

I didn't see them. Anything special about them?

No, just that I wanted them lol.

We've kicked around the idea of adding designations for 70's and 80's bumpers, but haven't agreed to the actual designation. As I was thinking about it today, I realized there are some other designations that are pretty clear and that we should be using. They are:

RH = Full roundhead set (1-10, 12, 15-100)
Kg = Full Kg set (20 Kg bumpers or iron, must have four each of 10-1.25 kg plates, or the unicorn of York Kg plates, the 15Kg iron plate).

Unless I know you and have been to your gym and seen your stuff, you most post pics (or send me pics) of your roundheads or Kg plates to earn the designator. My decision is final. It's the BoHo way.

For globes, I'm proposing "G" or "OG".

I'm also putting out a call for new members. Anyone we haven't recognized?

[Northernmoris]

Let me know what designations I get.

I have a full Kg set: 6-20Kg, 2-15Kg, 4-10Kg, 5-4Kg, 4-2.5Kg, 4-1.25Kg
80s bumpers
Buns 1-10,15-45
Globes 50-100
Roundheads- 1-10,12,15-100
5 gens of Squat Stands



How about a designation for krushers, grips, trinkets, etc?

[AttyGuy]

We need a proper designation for globes and buns. And bumpers. The rest of that stuff, I don't know.

Does anyone know if this is york? I seem to have seen a couple photos of a york bar that looked very similar to this. Curious if someone can ID it as a York from this photo

Maybe. What are the measurements? What came with that bar?

[Conquer92]

It's not my bar
Someone else sent me a photo of this bar because their neighbor gave it to them. They know nothing about gym equipment

I know for sure they don't know what the bar is. So I am thinking of asking if they'd be interested in trading theirs for a cleaner cheap bar that I own. I'll make up some story about why i want to trade for a rusty bar
