Hi David,

Finn Sisu in St Paul, MN imports and sells Marwe. I'm guessing that
you're looking for used skis, though....

Used
rollerskis are a bad idea - they just seem to wear out with use and a new
pair of wheels usually costs more than an entire setup.


Without a qualifier? I have purchased five pair of used roller skis off
the classified ads on skinny ski and silent sports. They have all been
great and have had minimal wheel wear. I bought two pair of marwe (610
--- wheels last forever --- and the classic marwe --- what a delight!)
I bought them from a female biathlete who was giving up the sport, post
major injury.
I bought two pair (marwe 610 and v2 920) from a gal who skied in hight
school but didn't really continue in college (snowless campus). and i
bought a pair of wide wheel marwe skate rollers that i swear still had
the rubber ridges from the seam in the die down the center of the
wheels. They all are great runners, great buys (half price with
bindings) and i haven't worm them down much either.

of course, i have to get back to training if i am going to be any good
this winter.

ps: why did i buy five pair? I once had a wife that i got into roller
skiing.
