Hey are the Nancys the same as a seth?
I was chatting with a guy this weekend and he said the women's model is the same as a sethpistol just different top sheet.
any truth to this?

seems like they'd be softer, but maybe just slapping a new top sheet is the way to go.

nice,

Yeah I ran into a few new pairs at a shop that a guy is trying to unload so figured I may grab a couple pairs at the prices he's throwing out.

They are the same shape but a little softer. My roommate picked up a pair of 179 Nancy's for $125 on tramdock a few years ago and has ridden them a lot. They are definitely very soft after two years of riding, but if you can get them at a good price I would go for it, especially if you don't mind a softer ski.

yeah that's what i'm thinking $90 bones and he's got 3 pairs. might pick up 2 just to have a backup at that price. graphics suck, but nothing a few stickers can't fix.

thanks for the info.

They are a softer BioFlex women's core, but for that price, damn do it. You even have money left over for a can of spray paint to cover up the graphics.

It is a fun shape.
