can anyone tell me about the difference between cambric and ivory finish? which one is better? thanks
Cambric - textured, like air cushion; a finish term usually reserved for Bee decks (much like how Linoid finish is usually reserved for describing Tally Ho decks).
Ivory - smooth, more like smooth Aladdins but not as good, and generally very stiff in Bee stock. Again, the term is usually reserved for Bee decks, but it was used recently for the Professional Bicycle decks (also made by CARC with USPC, also made from Bee stock).
Better in this case is a relative term. Most people like air cushion/textured, some go for smooth, some like both. You have to try them to see if you like them. The best example of a good-handling smooth deck would definitely be the smooth Aladdins. Aviators, also smooth, are on par with standard Bicycles.
And as Alex mentioned recently, smooth and textured aspects of a deck's finish are actually in the stock, not the finish. The paper comes either smooth or textured.
