First off, Mods I am not advertising a buisness, not advertising for a future buisness, nothing of the like, I have people interested in these and I could get them finished 2 weeks after the money arrives. This is a one time thing. If I've missed a rule saying I can't post this here I'm sorry please delete the post then.

They are not the Ironmind/Sorinex bells, they are however 179lb solid steel DB's with 2.5" handles. The Inch replica's sold by Ironmind/Sorinex had a 2.47" handle so my Inch's have handles less than 1/32" thicker. Numerous grip guys and Inch lifters have now given my bells a go, even capable of a side by side comparison to the real deal and they all have said they are as close to the feel of the Inch as possible. 2 bells have been spoken for but I will not order the steel until I get at least 6 people. There are 5 more that will need good homes!

Final Price

If 7 buy it'd be 190.00 per bell
If 6 buy it'd be 221.00 per bell
If 5 buy it'd be 263.00 per bell
If 4 buy it'd be 327.50 per bell

Really the price soars over 430 at 3 or less buyers, so it'd be even more expensive than if you had bought an actual Inch replica new and I don't want people to have to spend that much. Bottom line these are as expensive as they'd get per # of buyers so if 7 people want one then you'll pay 190 or less, if 6 buy then at most it'd be 221 per bell and so on.

Since 7 will be made they will be made with very high quality, I will paint them all black, I'll leave the handles unpainted unless you ask for it. I will also stamp the initials of the buyer into the ends of the bells unless you ask me not to.

Anyone is encouraged to drop by my house to give mine a try before you buy, it weighs in at around 179-182lbs and is a prototype of what you'd be buying.

If you competitors want to be able to train for the Inch press, or train with a bell similar to the challenge bells at various shows and expo's these are as close as you'll come to getting a real Inch... But without the long searching and shelling out of $300+ then gas for the trip there and back.

Remember this is a one time thing.

The big one is the Inch replica, not as pretty but it will be painted soon.

Ok guys, 3 have been spoken for. I need at least 3 more people to make this possible!

Don't forget that the foundry that sold the Inch replica's has shut down. The original Inch DB's were $375 from Sorinex.

"This is the best Inch trainer I've seen, it rolls just like it and your's are rarer anyway if you think about it. You're custom making the bell for the owner. If I get one I'm calling it the Malachi Bell! With a 2.5" handle that's longer so you can't using your hand to help stop rotation and 7 extra pounds, it's way buffer than the Inch!"
-Josh Dale

Josh was one who had the chance to compare my DB to the older Inch replica's sold my IM/Sorinex at a recent grip competition.

If interested just PM me or post it here. I'm in Michigan but I'd drive to a strongman comp or grip comp somewhere in the midwest to deliver the bells. Otherwise pickup would be at your discretion, sorry.

I even started responding to gripboard thread when you put it up...any other time man and I'd be all over it.

Hope you can work it out Zach.

Maybe some other time then, I've decided that I'll buy one. I figured that the Inch FW would be a good lofty goal to achieve one day:D

I'm somewhat interested, though I'm not sure why since I'd be able to do nothing with it besides look at it sitting on my floor.

This price assumes the buyer picks the bell up from your location? Where in Michigan are you?

I'm 5 minutes north of Toledo, OH, so I'm pretty much on the far right border of Michigan and Ohio. I will work with you on the delivery because it would be best to avoid shipping as it would be pretty expensive. I'll be in Crooksville, OH in early December. I'm sure there are a few guys who could work up to pressing the Inch pretty quick, yourself included!

EDIT: Just noticed your in Detroit, I could give you my address and you can come pick it up(about 45min-1hr drive) or give me your address and I could deliver to you no problem.

Still have at least 2 left! Again, I'll work with you on shipping/and or delivery.
