Thanks for all the replies! really appreciate it! Hopefully one day I could own one myself, until that day, a man can only dream. Have a great week everyone!

Dear lucky users of beamsprings I have a few questions for you. What's your honest opinion on that switch? What do you love? what do you hate? What will you change? Do you think that there's gonna be a modern reissue of beamspring boards? just like the model F ones. Have a great day! :mrgreen:
