Default Competition Girya

Has anyone seen this KB before? Just hoping to find the manufacturer with pricing and shipping.

With Steve Cotter jumping the Dragondoor ship, and a resurgance in American GS training, there will be a number of places to get competition kettlebells in the next few months.

Also, because I'm a devil's advocate, why the fancy kbs? Why the "automotive" quality paint and designs?

I say that because when I'm using kbs they get dropped, thrown, etc, and I prefer the look of a big chunk of iron to something fancy anyway. A kb with paint and design is going to get banged up pretty quick.

Steve, I agree about the "fruity" appearance. Nothing that is goiong to be dropped should look so nice. I was more intrigued with the shape.
