"Jummo_ writes " The producer has stopped the delivery!
All delivered frames are broken, so they have stopped all deliveries to control the situation. They will create a new process to improve the product for the next deliveries. But the new delivery date will be in april 2004 or later..
So you don´t can order this first XSJADO frame anymore.
We will get in contact with all skaters who have preordered this XSJADO and we will offer them another frame for a better price. "

im not really sure what that means though. Were the frames damaged on delivery? ie - a crane fell on them or somthing?
Or is there a defect on the existing mooks frames? and that they gonna redo a batch and charge less?

but i do feel that first generation products tend to be not worth the money.
esp in rollerblading - bcs they dont have as much money as they'd like for R&D. so basically - the first batch of owners end up becoming their guinea pigs.
my latest experience was with the first gen grob able frames. the front bolt isnt protected enough. but then again - they didnt really fix that problem with the 2nd gen treseder and aragon frames....

after a while - you'll notice that the front bolt isnt protected by your frame - and when u soul - it gets grinded (or is the right term ground?) at this rate - - - the allen holes will be unusable soon if i dont constantly rotate em.

J?g$laining to mike opalek bout it too - and he siad they know of it. cus the jap skaters have been telling them about it. cus rails in japan are skinnier (insert penis joke here) so the bolts really get in the way.
said they'd fix it in the next edition - obviously didnt mean the treseders and aragons. probably after next year or somthing

but sometimes - - - its not just the new companies that make mistakes.
cozmo - who've been making wheels longer than rollerblading's been around (i think) have their share of fuckups. You'd think they'd get their compound and chemistry right by now.... esp seeing how they are charging premium for their "hand poured" wheels.
i bought a set of manuel biliris skanks in 96 - which decored on the first day. and more recently - - i bought a set of cozmos again (guess i didnt learn my lesson) - first day at the park - it decored - i fell - and tore my lip.
so if you find the right company with products you like and suit you - - - stick to it.
_____________________________________
My list of problem free companies *touch wood-hope listing it doesnt jinx it*
1. reign liners - just the sagonas - the older reigns have that wierd plastic cup in the heel.
2. kryptonic wheels
3. razors wheels (donno who pours them)
4. the old non UFS 50/50 frames
5. able frames (even with that bolt defect - they are still good and long lasting)
My list of fucked up companies
1. mindgame t shirts - u cant knock their designs - - but some of their shirts stretch too easily and the print flakes off.
2. any senate product - even the t shirts can shrink, frames are the worst - - c'mon h-blocks that fall off?
3. TRS soul plates - wear down too quickly.
4. kizer frames - i dont care what bala says - they are sticky, ugly and generall not-happy frames. streams were ok looking though
