After reading all your whining, I must say the TD3 looks fantastic. Can't wait to fit a pair on a board. I think Fin knows what he's doing.

Yaeh, this new snow-collectors looks great and feels so smooth in Your hands - smooth, but not light! Of course, dynamic forces to the inserts and the screws will reach now a new dimension! Like the feed dimension of newer milling machines. I think at 60-70 m/s milling feed, the manufacturing cell outputs in mean every minute a new binding. (excl. anodize)
Bomber found now many new superlatives for things other products call it a basic standard, since more then a decade!

If You like to stand 5-6 mm higher then F2-Titanium's, or about 16 mm higher then a high-end low profile binding, it would be o.k.
Color-mismatch of the parts (e.g. like silver - wine-red - blue) can be easy corrected by overpaint the E-rings! Perhaps they learn to deliver the bindings in parts without any anodizing. So customers are free to let the parts anodize on a local firma, in a color witch match to the color of board. (or instead a nickel coating on the base plate, a pure gold coating on the base plate, what a nice bling-bling - just a basic outfit of vintage Swiss telephones (about 20 visible pure golden parts) at a slighly higher price as bomber TD-3's)
Gliding on Snowboards,
like Pogo, Kessler, Virus, Hot, Nidecker and others,
from 151 up to 183 cm and 14 to 27.4 cm width,
covering any kind of shapes with
any kind of boots and bindings.

Conclusion: the Swiss make just about everything so much better than anyone else, that even their vintage telephones work better for snowboarding than anything non-swiss built for the purpose? :roll:
I can't afford to buy either, but reading all scheewurms posts about the swiss superiority is great fun.

Remember:
- bevor using boots you should prevent board-surface against dents by a protectiv layer!
- don't walk down stairs with this heels in hurry or sidewards!

I always walk on my protected hands when I go out snowboarding :wink: Never use pads, I always am locked in, also in the lifts. So no need.

... I always am locked in, also in the lifts ...
Thats great, so anyone knows at one short view - a tourist is comming.
So lifts like them, where I saw this warning (see photo), withe icy, rutted tracks would not be good for You!

... I think Fin do an excellent R&D ...
like the aluminium Intec receiver on TD's II, others stop such kinky things on the state of prototype, bomber make mony with such prototypes.
