So here are some photos of my Le Coq Sportif - Concept 3 collection

No, that's not it, I'll try again!

jimbo333 · 12-21-2009, 02:49 AM

I'll try again

Whoops!

They all look so similar on the tiny thumbnails photos

Hopefully I'll get it right this time

jimbo333 · 12-21-2009, 02:52 AM

I'll try this one

So hopefully here is my Le Coq Sportif - Concept 3 collection!

That's better!

jimbo333 · 12-21-2009, 02:59 AM

There are quite a few more, but that's my collection!

Thanks to Bud for the first one (TXW)

Jimbo, nice stuff, you need to open a tennis racquet museum.

Cheers mate

I don't think I've got enough for a museum!

But certainly have lots of nice racquets now, so in the future who knows

I'm particularly fond of the Noah TCO myself

Very nice jimbo - I have just two - the Tanner and Noah TF-40, which has an extraordinarily thin throat piece.

You even left the rubberband on it!

How many frames do you now own, Jimbo... and where do you keep them?

ipitythefool · 12-21-2009, 12:33 PM

I pity the fool who didn't know how to post pics until now!

Superb pics, Jimbo! Keep em coming! Larger they are, better they are. So the dial ups in New Zealand will crash hahaha

Some great model pics Jimbo.
The tri-beams are a beautiful breed.
Have you seen the Grey's Streamline model ?
Its a breauty and probably more rare then the Streamline's from many decades earlier.
Its nice how you label the models but that big Jimbo's watermark could be left off

Cheers,
Joe

That's not a watermark... that an INKMARK!

(BTW, it does kinda ruin the pics, Jimbo)

I havn't counted lately, but it's more than 500 for sure, guessing 750!

Most of them are kept in my spare room, but they are also on the walls in my lounge and hallway, and even on my kitchen walls

Cheers, I certainly like the Tri-beams

I've seen a couple of those Grays Streamlines, but I'd have to disagree about it's beauty, I don't like them at all, they look really cheap, guessing they were made in the 70's?

Hahahahahaha, yes that's where I live

Funny thing is that I walk down that path about once a week, it's really nice around there, when the weather is good!

Yes, it's an inkmark, I'm guessing it can be easily removed with some IT trickery, as you know I'm not an expert on computers to put it mildly

The photos took me ages, and knowing they will be "borrowed", thought I'd mark them!

(I personally like having "jimbo" on them, took me ages to choose the font as well

)

Way to go, Jimbo. Photos at last! If you have 750 racquets we can certainly look forward to many more.

Nice collection of tri-beams, especially those Streamlines and Le Coqs.

I've got one tri-beam that's sort of a mystery. It's called a Phanton, with an "n" -- and looks like a cross between a le coq

schu47 · 12-21-2009, 03:42 PM

whoops. Hit the wrong button. The Phanton looks like a cross between a le coq and a Head graphite Director. Ever seen one of those? It has the thin central beam just like a le coq. I assume it's an off-brand knock-off.
