Have any of the manufacturers built "Micro Tops" with braces ? I read where they have them with larger tubes now but what about braces ?
If so, who is selling them ?

Jay, Fuji has some with the Aluminum Oxide rings now. I bought some 4.5-6 from Mudhole the last time I ordered. Nice tops! I haven't checked with any of the other suppliers but I know mudhole has them. Here's a link, The fugi's are all the way down at the bottom.

They don't have a pic on their website yet so here's one that I took.

Mudhole's description does not say " with braces ", that's why I had not seen them until now, assuming we are talking about the BMCOT and the MCOT.

Oops, I hadn't used my camera in a while and it had no batteries in it for a while. I forgot to reset the photo size to something smaller before I used it. I bet that was like 3D opening that lol.

Yes Jay that's the BMCOT.
