Did the Lester's have slight concave in the nose like half of what the Bevel and the 5th SC DP had? That white one has that—though it looks like it has relaxed over the years (My 5th DP model with the bowled nose did the same thing over a 30 year period. |

No kidding, eh? Imaging grabbing 50 of those back in the '80s as riders?!!
If anyone has a Lester like PyratMike mentioned, that matches the look of the white deck in that picture I reposted, please PM me. |

Slob, I have 2 OG Sims E Lesters. My white one has a steeper tail and has SIMS screened behind the back truck. My black one has a mellower tail and SIMS is screened just above Lester in the graphic. I believe the black one may have been produced earlier than my white one. Both have about the same amount of concave that starts about an inch in front of the back truck and progressively gets deeper on the way up to the front truck. The concave looks deepest just behind the front truck, maybe 3/16" deep. It feels very flat under foot and heavy. I'll look a little closer at the wheel wells to see if they look the same. |

The wheel wells in your picture look smaller and more pointy than both my boards. Especially the back ones which look much narrower than mine and have a bit different placement. |
