om...
Jeff's knicker picture reminds me of my old knicker outfit. I had one
of those fancy polyester Odlo knicker suits. It was blue. I thought I
was pretty cool. I skied the 1984 American Birkebeiner in that suit.
At about the 40K mark, a 5'3", 180 pound woman strided past me going
up a hill. Oh yeah, she was wearing jeans...

I get beat by people (M and F) in jeans and/ or flannel shirts all the time.
My excuse is that they're 15-30 years younger than me. Makes me think I
should dress that way though. I also get beat by a lot of geriatrics in
lycra. 8-(

I have no idea if these are good for racing. They look 'regular' to me. I
have some touring woodies already. Actually, they have decent camber and
are quite sporty, but there were probably quite a few race models way
back when and I'd like to do it right. I can't tell enough from the ebay
pics here. Madshus Birkies?


The Birkies are nice skis but not racers. About three hours before you
posted your interest in wooden racig skis a pair of Bonna 1700s went
for 50 bucks on eBay. I'm assuming a ski like that was getting into
racing territory as thier heavy touring model was the 2400, touring
2200, light touring 2000 and 1800. (Greg Fangel, please correct me if
I'm wrong.).
There was a pair of unmounted Jarvinens early this winter that
certainly looked like narrow racing skis but the auctionee obviously
didn't know much about them. They still went for almost 100 bucks so
they must have been valuable to someone.

g.c.

Is there anyway to get into eBay auction archives?

Anyone know a good source for knicker socks? I looked A LOT a few years
back and never did find a great source. Many are too coarse.

Especially not #52. If you look, he appears to have his left pole and
right ski on the snow - note shadow under right pole tip.


Marsh, I'm shocked. I suggest you go out and try to herringbone with
that high, relatively back posture, wide articulated hips, skis much
wider that the incline calls for, and a high poling hand. He's in a
very good, powerful single sticking position: his right ski glide and
poling is ending and he's turned toward the left ski, with his right
hand coming forward, about to pole in coordination with his left ski.
If I one eyewitness and that obvious of a photo, that would be enough to
DQ him in my opinion.
