Hello,

Chicagoland has lost A.R.T. as a close by, available supplier. If you're
like me, dead center between Great Lakes and Jahn, and you like shaking
hands with the people you're dealing with whenever you can, it's not very
practical.

While I was shopping for the best price for my new exciting first wheel
:)=7E, I found out that Shimpo America Corporation in Itasca carries a good
variety of clay bodies from Tucker, CAN, among other things. I am not
affiliated with the company in any ways=3B just passing on info I discovered
(turns up I got a Brent anyway) Here is the phone number: 630.671.2137=3B
they're open from 10am-4pm (it's the factory, btw) and the folks there are
a pleasure to deal with.

Great Lakes Clay in Carpentersville is'nt as convenient
as A.R.T. was, but they're closer than Racine. Prices seem
to be close to the same.
