So my buddy has a pair of the 06-07 pipe cleaners and I am considering taking them off his hands. They are brand new and never been mounted (dont ask me why, he;s a little weird). My question to you is he is willing to sell them to me for about $150. i'm currently riding the Liberty Laroses. Do you think that would be a good idea or should I spend the extra change and just pick up this years pair? Anyone who rides this ski or has ridden them please help...Im in a bind! Thanks alot ! +karma
