He called it a gizmo mech. Sounds insulting, you should put me in line in front of him.Originally Posted by thejosef

Who knows. I thought the same about those indexable chinups and it took me forever to unload the last ones I had.Originally Posted by thejosef

I’m baffled how those didn’t go quick. If I had a rack they worked on I would have been first in line.Originally Posted by Mech6

Honestly, the indexable chin up attachment is one my favorite equipment for back work in my gym, way better than regular chin up bar. My only regret is not buying a second set as the first one is on my functional trainer and i would like to have a second set on my rack so i could leave fat grip on one set and regular handles on the other ... I did not use my regular chin up bars since i got theseOriginally Posted by dragon360

looking back through this thread i am really kicking myself in the ass for not buying everything Mech has offered in the past. i was lucky enough to buy a set of mono's off another member and the quality and thought put into them was outstanding

I wish you were still making monos. I upgraded racks and will be selling the monster lite ones I bought from you. They are so beautiful that it almost makes me cry.

I feel like the resale on the ML mono hooks alone will be pretty damn good, especially if its to someone on this forumOriginally Posted by MaxHandley

Depends on your location.. wouldn't want to ship them badboys. But yeah, the right buyer would (and should) probably pay retail.Originally Posted by Mitcho7
I think my keyhole Rogue Monster Monolifts are probably worth more than my rack at this point. They are so nice and pretty rare, from what I remember. I'm stuck with my rack FOREVER due to those beauties. Almost any time I post on IG, people ask me who built my monolifts and if they can get some. Ha.

I’d pay enough for a used pair that would fit 3x3 w/1in holes that someone could buy a new rack, retail, off the transaction.Originally Posted by C123C

So I finally put my inverse curl back together after sandblasting off the original spray paint job and powder coating it a few years ago. Also zinc plated the selector backbone. I'll test out the new knee pad in a few days.
Last step is I'd like to vinyl cover the rear roller pads. The top one is actually from a commercial leg extension machine. Ordered it as a replacement part from distributor (wherever Alex got his leg extension, it's the same company). Canadian, so cheap shipping. I noticed later they actually distribute the wsb machines up here also, so I probably should of tried to grab the actual pad. But I bet it's 3x the price. This one should work fine.Last edited by Mech6; 12-11-2018 at 07:33 PM.

The locking pin wouldn't be ideal, you'd have to sleeve part of it and insert it from the rear (no joke). But yes, it's possible.Originally Posted by irongrandpa

Even getting 10K for monos would still be hard to justify Sorinex prices. Also, I still have an emotional relationship with my current rack. I think my wife is jealousOriginally Posted by vhd16

Beautiful rack, but it's not one of Mech's glorious creations. You'd do better posting in the Rogue or look what I bought today thread.Originally Posted by HeavyIron8

If I had put keyholes on a rack they'd be used for something.
