I'm looking for a pair of new bindings and stubled across a pair of K2 skis (nothing special) mounted with a little bit older, but still modern Pivot 14 "racing bindings" for really cheap and in like new conditio. I'm thinking of buying and selling the skis without the bindings and I'll pretty much break even or close to it.....so almost free bindings. Anywhoo, would this be a wise buy? I've been looking to upgrade from my PX 12s to the pivot heelpiece. Is there a difference between the race version of the bindings or are they all the same? I've looked at Looks website and found nothing.

I'm pretty sure you're talking about the semi-pivot turntable ones. If so, I had a pair, and they held up great. Real solid binding for sure

Well, I went ahead and bought the skis and bindings. Looks like I'm getting skis that retail for $1300 new and like new Look Pivot $350 bindings for $55. Proof:

Alright, cool. You got that answer in right before I responded, haha. I'm still skeptical on this purchase. From what I've read online, this store is legit, but I will be calling them tomorrow to make sure what they had online is still in stock. For the price, I can't really go wrong though....

I had that exact same pair - they're legit. They're pretty much all metal.

Those aren't the same as modern Pivot 14. I'd rather ski PX than the old P style like those.

Why? Those P14s were the heat.

I cant say how those bindings hold up for freestyle impacts, but in the race world, they did quite well. A large amount of my friends skied on Dynastar and Look bindings. They had nothing but good things to say about the bindings.

The heel gets way slack when they get old. Same toepiece as the PX.
