Not sure what the deal is, but sunny sports has ice tools at better prices than other stores. Ever heard of em? Would you order ice tools from a store named Sunny Sports?!? Just making sure this isn't abnormal.

Gear Express has better prices (when on sale) and more variety. They're on sale now, but they have sales all the time if you're not looking to buy right now. I ordered my Nomics and multiple other small orders from them with no hassle. No idea about SunnySports though, if you were only curious about that company.

Thanks for the sale link. I posted up ISO Vipers in for sale forum. Also been considering the All Mtn Grivel tools. Thoughts between the two? Viper is my fav tool in my limited experience, hated the Sex Dreams.

The Sunny Sports was ironic due to the winter tools sale prices. It just came up in the googles and I thought it inappropriate that they sell winter gear, though I guess the mountains just take you closer to the sun.

It is weird, but they might have started out selling specific gear and branched out or something.

As far as tool recommendations, I'm probably not much help. I liked the x dreams and have nomics, pretty different from the vipers you like. Other than ergo style tools, I've only tried BD cobras and grivel quantum techs. So both carbon, and they both swung well, the cobras worked better for me. You might consider the cassin all mountains, I've seen good reviews of them on here.

I've obviously never purchased tools from SunnySports.com, but I've purchased several items from them over the years & have no complaints about their business, returns or customer service thus far. They're located in New York City, so their shipping is fast for me. Hope that helps a bit!

Are you talking about the Grivel Tech Machines or the Cassin All Mountains? Never heard of Grivel All Mountains. I thought the Tech Machines swung well and cleaned easily. I have a pair of All Mountains and no complains. You may like the natural swing of the Cassin All Mtns if you don't like sex dreams, guess you mean X Dreams. Hehehe..

Yea, not sure how I screwed that up.. Cassin All-Mtn is what I was going for. Must have been thinking about too much gear. Sex Dreams was intentional. Heh.
