Carbon Fiber Grip Picture.
« on: August 17, 2009, 09:50:20 PM »
Here is the first picture of the new Carbon Fiber grips.
Higher resolution "glossy" pics to come.

The builder pointed out that as the grips are rotated and the  light angle changes, it really brings out the reflection of the Carbon Fiber material.
Truly excellent workmanship.

If all goes as planned, production should begin by Wed and I should be receiving and shipping soon after.

Please write me here for questions and orders.

Beautiful grips and photos. Is it just the angle or are the
screw holes smaller on the grip on the right?

It's the angle. The left and right grip screw hole ID's are identical.

Here is some additional information from the builder regarding the holes.

"In the silicone mold, the holes in reverse are actually little pegs. And a nice thing about that is that I work the carbon fibers around the pegs, providing carbon fibers that are much stronger since they are not cut by a drill bit. The continuous fibers actually will wrap around the screw and the screw head".

Are you going to be able to do specialty colors?  I can see white as being stunning on a RR R9.  can you even get CF in white?

I'll see if he's able to get CF in other colors.
I'll let you know as soon as I know something definite.

Kevlar comes in a golden color, there are also different weaves in CF, that produce different patterns. And there are Hybrid fabrics that come an a variety of colors and weaves.

I can see the Rohrbaugh family crest showing up on the grips and wondered if the guy making them will be able to eliminate the crest.  If not I would hope he gets the OK from Rohrbaugh to use their crest before any of those hit the market.

That being said I still want a set.  More than one if additional colors become available.

I'm not quite sure what you're seeing, but the Rohrbaugh logo (crest) is not on the grips pictured above.

Corey is correct, if you turn up the brightness on your screen or have a very high res. screen you can see the lines from the Rohrbaugh logo, more so on the grip on the right.

Sorry Corey, my mistake.
You're correct.

Using my laptop, I cannot see the crest outline.
However, when I opened the picture using my PC, I'm able to faintly see the Crest outline.

I just received this information from the builder.

"The logo will not be on the finished grip in any way shape or form. The photo of course is of the prototype used to make the mold. The very faint logo is just from the fact that it was filled in with epoxy, then sanded and polished smooth. It is only a visual difference, not something that is physically transferred to the mold and the molded grips".

I'll post a picture of a new polished and finsihed grip in the morning.

Thanks again.

Curt
