Lew's graphite handles

Do any of the sponsors have any Lew's speedstick graphiteTennesee tube handles laying around to sell. I can't find any on the sites but not sure if I was looking in the right spots? Thanks for any help.

Pardon my ignorance, but is there a significant difference between what you're looking for and the graphite/carbon fiber tubes that Mudhole sells (among others) ?

Just curious.

The Lew's kits included 3 arbors and end cap. If that makes any difference.

The earliest Lew's kits featured the swirled carbon tube. The latter ones were straight, smooth tubes with the Lew's logo on them.

I do use the tubes from the sponsors but I saw a very very nice Shikari with the swirled tube handle and liked the uniqeness of it and thought if there were any around I would like to build one for myself. Just something different. Thanks Tom, I did not know that there were straight handles from Lew's. I had only seen the swirled one.

The swirled one was the earlier version. These might be hard to come by, although perhaps not impossible.
