New TF is still floating around somewhere unknown, post-customs from Canada. No signs of life for 5 days.

I've decided a good quiver of three would be TF 57, pencil 64, cafe 59

I’m hitting the Korua demo at Sugar Bowl Wed. Only thing I've ridden is my TF 54.

Ride another TF54 or 57. Curious how you feel about new shape and builds from the newer factories since you're on a Year One. The 57 was a tiny bit small for me but you're like 20 lbs lighter than I am, so might hit your sweet spot.

Two other options I'd grab would be the Otto and the Pencil, personally. @pow_hnd has been trying to convert me on the Otto-train for over a year now haha.

Pencil shape always looked cool to me but relatively less effective edge has always scared me off. If I was out there this Wednesday I'd definitely go for a lap.

I wasn't super stoked on the Cafe Racer 164 I owned, but it was an older one from the early years and it was also wide as shit (278 mm waist). Their 269 / 268 mm template is about as wide as I can go comfortably without stupid stiff bindings.

Ok great advice, I will def jump on a TF 57 then, I had so much fun on my 54 yesterday I'm really curious to try a new one. I think I'll ride an Otto 61 for sure also, and a Pencil will be option3 if I have time before I jam to work.

aside from NOW drive - burton strap combos on koruas, what do you guys like on them?

i swapped my drives over to my aeronaut and wondering if i want something a little softer on the TF '54, or just stick with what i know and like. ultra aggressive bindings do get tiresome after a while
