Question about RB Lightnings

[bertscova]

I bought a pair of the orig RB lightnings back in the early 90's and in time upgraded the wheels to a good set of Bones brand speed wheels (i think 76mm) and a set of the swiss bearings. I just bought a pair of the 07 lightnings (Order #605260). My question is, How different are the 07 lightnings from the pair i own. Mainly ankle support. Also, I've searched the internet for a couple of weeks now and your skates are the best priced. Can't even get these prices on that auction site by the bay. Thanks for the great pricing.

The 90's were a ways back, so I imagine there would be several differences. You can eyeball cuff differences fairly easy. I'm thinking the ones you have are hard boot (plastic) whereas the newer ones are softer.

I think you'll find plenty of support and more comfort in the newer versions.

Thanks for the post and the nice comments. If I didn't answer your questions, just let me know and I can get into more detail.
