Hi All,
Long time no post...not sure if this is the right section to post but...

What do you guys think about reviving the BMP Kit?

I have one of his last and newest kits...

Has:
a. Friction Drive
b. Chain Drive (option)
c. Belt Drive (option)

I was thinking about sourcing the parts and making the kit...

Can I get some input if there is a need?

Thank you.

Respectfully,

Theres a need, since they went out of business I've bought 2 statons and would have bought 2 BMPs. Its because of BMPs price and quality plus the chain drive option I would have chosen BMP. Back then I think BMP was $119 and staton was like $179. You can do it but choosing your suppliers for price, quality and reliability to deliver is important. Right now theres really only 2 options staton or DAX, chinese kit is not an option for me. Both of those vendors are offering at $149, staton does give you more options in roller sizes though. If I remember right the chain drive option was a $35 upcharge and well worth it on the BMP..........good luck.

The pledge drives last 45 days and with 10 days left he's got a ways to go so I don't know how much support or demand there really is for this sort of thing as far a big market goes. Thought I'd mention it.

Hi Happy,
Thanks for the heads up.
I am happy for James - I hope he gets it going again and does well.
(just a thought, i wasnt looking to reinvent the wheel.)
He is on the right track for sure
