Glenn - I haven't forgotten. We had a pretty big backlog of orders, but things should be caught up within the next 2 weeks, and then we'll look at scheduling some harder Cambrias plus softer Avalons. Realistically, we can probably have these by the beginning of August.

Howard,
This is very cool that you are accommodating all your customers requests for different duros in various wheels. 

I know that Attila mentioned on ncdsa about wanting Avalon's in 78a, saying he liked the red ones but that he felt for skaters of his weight near 160lbs that 78a would be like 80a to heavier riders like Richy, Chicken, etc.
I would have to agree. I feel that the 75a are just a tad to soft and quite a bit slower than the 80a's, and that an Avalon just a bit harder but also softer than the 80a's would be great.
Any plans to pour something like an 78a Avalon?

Thanx again Howard. You know what I like.

By the way, we poured Avalon 90a's as well, and those will also be available in volume after June 25.

We just poured a sample batch of red Avila 72a's - Jeff at Bozi managed to extract a few sets from the sample batch, though the wheels will be available in volume after June 25th.

Here's a photo of a new red Avila 72a set next to its red Avalon 75a cousin.
