FYI: ProSki rollerskis auction... question?
Has anyone noticed this auction? Has anyone asked the lady about the
skis? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tegory=36 267 See the glitch? The description model name and specs describe the ProSki *classic* rollerskis, but the description text says "skating." I emailed her and she said they were skating skis. She said she had other stuff for sale, too. I said I was interested in general and also asked her to doublecheck the auction skis. Never heard back. Her name is Lisa Erikson and I guess is retiring. Does anyone know who she is? I see there's racers in Anchorage and Montana by that name, with the older one in Anchorage. I prefer to buy from a friend of a friend---especially for someone with only 3 sales on eBay. Maybe she's just out of town. I need some classic rollerskis! Does anyone know more or what's up?

PS: OK, I just checked the PHOTOS. That's where the rubber hits the road. They
are skaters. She just looked at the wrong stats to type in. Sorry for the fuss. I'll just wait to see if she ever replies to my email about her other stuff. -- Jeff Potter **** *Out Your Backdoor * http://www.outyourbackdoor.com publisher of do-it-yourself culture ... bikes, skis, boats & more! ... ... with radically relevant novels from the ULA & LiteraryRevolution.com! ... ... free music! ... tons o' articles! ... travel forums! ...

FYI: ProSki rollerskis auction... question?
Hi Jeff-
I'm familiar w/ these roller skis because I used to have a pair a couple of years ago. They are skating skis, not classic. The wheels are urethane and relatively narrow- sort of like inline skate wheels but bigger. There is no ratchet on them (unless they have been customized somehow). I thought they were a really nice ski-- very "snow-like" feel-- just not very appropriate for how generally crummy our roads are in Utah (chip-seal, frost damage, low budgets, etc.) Chris C.

FYI: ProSki rollerskis auction... question?
Wheel width 50mm... You'll never find replacement.
Wheel size 67mm... good for 5 training sessions if they are new. $375 new without bindings?? This is a fraud. |

Those are skates, but 50 mm seems awfully wide for both urethane and
skating wheels. She must have the wrong numbers. In any case, I think most people would do best with rubber wheels to simulate something reasonably close to (fast) ski conditions.

Actually, the C2 is a classical ski with the specs mentioned. I think
she's got looks more like the R2 roadskater. Gene Goldenfeld wrote: Those are skates, but 50 mm seems awfully wide for both urethane and skating wheels. She must have the wrong numbers.

Serge:
I don't know about the price but the wheels on ProSKis are very durable. I have a pair that I've used for a few years now that still have lots of life left in them. It's a good ski. It's only downside (to me anyway) is that it's faster than what I prefer. MOO, Matt Serge wrote: Wheel width 50mm... You'll never find replacement.
