Bump! Still for sale.

C$65 plus shipping if require. Upgraded with Booster Strap, liners baked once.

The Kastle XT 84 look suspiciously like the Ingstad, which is made in the same factory. Hmmmm! I’m not entirely clear from the blurb whether the Kastle’s have a patterned base, although they have the mini skin.

Thanks Gareth for the info. I think I’ll pass on a purchase. However, I have just bought a new pair of T4’s from Telemarkdown since my T3’s are aging out. I’m finding that at 82 my balance is not what it was, and the extra support of a plastic boot helps for XCD. I won’t win the loppet but who cares...

It’s funny, but the gear whore in me keeps wanting to buy a pair of Koms. I know I’d love them. But then the practical gremlin on my shoulder whispers “you’ve got a pair of early 2012 Vector BC with the cuddly bear on the top sheet”. Plus I have a whole load of other skis to cover all the bases. The...

With a comfortable two finger behind your shell is probably too big. Baking the liner can solve...

Gotcha! Carry on the good work!

Innovative work John. My question would be how do you secure the heel piece to the boot? I’m kind of thinking with a new boot from Scarpa ready to drop (as discussed in the other forum) assuming it’s F1 weight, a TTS option could be a viable alternative to what you’re doing.
