^Ooof. I had last year’s version, the wheelbase was just slightly longer (14.28), and it was really nice. Hopefully I can get my hands on this one.

Yah, but that was on the 8.5"

Really glad to see a normal to shorter length 8.25 with a 14.25" WB and the foy shape is amazing (this is not the Neen 8.25 from a few years ago nor the baker 8.25 shape in a twin) but the 8.5 Foy [current] twin scaled down to 8.25.

Welp...the sticker is wrong, the 8.25 Foy is actually 31.875" with a somewhat shorter than 14.25"WB (more like 14.125")

Buyer beware!

8.5" measure true as they all have previously.

Oh man, I’m glad you’re here to catch my errors. I’ve got donkey brains these days.
If you can't handle me at my Marc Johnson, you don't deserve me at my Bobby Puleo.

Took out the 8.25 today, shape is really nice (for me it's THE 8.25 twin kick shape I've been after) - wasn't happy with the trucks (WB feels tight, will need to experiment).
