Pre-season dirtbag schwack quiver acquisition stokage!

Telemark Dave
Scored these at a local swap.....perfect for the 'biler trails that almost run through my yard.
Skilom Touring, double cambered waxable, 190cm.  A touch of sidecut, 68-56-62.

Best of all, only $20.

Nice! Are they woodies with a blue paint job?

Nope, not that dope!

Not sure of the vintage.  They are marked on the sidewalks as doppelbox.
So I'm guessing that means something like a double torsion box fiberglass construction.
They're quite soft in the tip and tail (good!) and have a fairly stiff secondary camber right under the foot.
The blue paint is a nice metallic sky blue. Mid to late 70's...?

I initially grabbed them just for the Villom cable binders.  
But now I think I'll keep them as is, at least until I take them for a schwack.

nice score! i did almost as well last week - a pair of 190 alpina bc escapades with rotti nnn's. metal edge skinny waxless xc/d for some out-the-back-door fun. can't find any info except a magazine ad circa '96 but wtf for $20!!!

WTB  - madshus epoch's 195's w/ 3 pin cables if anyone knows of a deal on some - i could kick myself i didn't buy a set of last years for $186 last month at ors! the 13's came out with the same top sheet so everyone just bumped 'em all to $300..
