Most people at the Bath workshop (those who didn't fancy splashing out
on a Sem or a DM) ride Bogglefingers unis. They look nice, they are
comfortable, and they are definitely better then the Pashleys. I've
spoken to one person who said that they had a tendency to fall to bits
after a year or so of heavy use, and another who said that hers lasted
for 3 years. Otherwise, I haven't heard a word said against them. I
would recommend the Bogglefingers as a first uni. I'd recommend a DM
Ringmaster more, but they cost quite a bit more. Bogglefingers are in
the #65 - #85 range.
BTW, I usually shop at Boggle and some of my friends work for Boggle
or Butterfingers. But my review should be reliable.
