Looks an awful lot like The Wild Ones…..

1" shorter, $60 more, and the hardware isn't brass... am I missing any other major differences?

Horsehide.

Bolted out of the stable and all that.

The VB-05 would still be hard to pass up IMO.

@seanocono:

I was trying to do some research, but kept running into dead ends.  Does anyone know how the 2005 last fits?  Does it run TTS, or a half size smaller, like the 2030?

I don't, but I know you will chat to Morgan.  Let us know the answer…..

I pulled the trigger on these after confirming with Morgan that the 2005 last runs TTS. I only have my specific measurements, but my size 15 US foot will fit into a 14 EE just fine. The footbed is 32.5 cm long, and 10.5 cm wide. I know the specific measurements probably don't help anyone, but my true size is really a 15.5 (which nobody makes), which is why we went with a EE width– to accommodate an extra half size up. Don't know if this helps anyone, but I figured I would forward it along, anyway; just in case.

Stoked for my first pair of Vibergs. Thank you, G.

I'm from Seattle, so I look more like this guy:

Just ordered a load of different buckles, trying to determine perfection.  Pics when they arrive….

[demonito]

Cant wait for mine to be done! So excited g!

[Giles]

It took me a long time, but at last I have found buckles I am happy with…...

[emceeQ]

Glad you finally found some that will work G

[mclaincausey]

Those are chunky… buckle envy

I'll understand if the answer is "no" but I'd love to buy a set of brass ones.

[Giles]

I can do that.  I will pop them up on the site as a purchasable item in next few days.  Likely to be about USD10 a set….

[trail and arrow]

great, thanks!

[mclaincausey]

You've made my day!

I take it that the price point of the ones that will be taken in for stock that will be available in March/April, ie not pre-orders, will be around the same as the price mentioned in the first post of this thread, 875.00 USD or roughly 636 EUR?

[Giles]

Correct….

[501xx4ever]

@Giles:

Correct….

Thanks, and they're still on schedule for March/April, or sooner maybe?

[Giles]

The pre-ordered ones are due in March, but that has probably been delayed (yet) again.  Viberg lost their compressor for a week and they are super backed up, plus I am actually having to have the buckles specially made for me in Japan and that is taking longer than I could have imagined.  I'm trying to determine exact impact at the moment.  Once I know the likely impact, I will drop a mail to all those who pre-ordered.  I'd guess the ones for stock will be 12-14 weeks behind the pre-orders…..
