Ok, so looks like we're going to have 48 hole Sputniks available again if everything works out. Silver and black, machined or unmachined, hoping for £20 delivered per rim, woop.
Jono, did you ever hear anything more about this?

I'll chase them now, it got exciting for a while then went all quiet.

Christmas stalled things a little, but they're back on it. The 48h rims were discontinued over a year ago, but we'll be getting special runs made indefinitely by Rigida as long as the price is right for us (black, silver, machined and unmachined, gonna go with just silver machined initially).
Tomorrow they'll work out the final price (looking to be between £20 and £25 per rim at the moment), they would normally be a delivery charge too, but they'll waive that if the LHBPA order ~20 rims or so each time and distribute to players, etc. The price goes down if we order more and if the other cities/scenes in Europe get involved too, I'll be passing on details to the Euro lot once it's nailed down for London.
The first batch won't be ready for at least 4-6 weeks once we give the go ahead, so if you're in need of rims now then you may have to sort something out in the meantime. They're pushing to get the green light by the end of next week... although I'd rather wait until after the next LHBPA meeting (17th) so everyone can have some input and agree to things, etc.
