Weird Look Pivots

I realize posting the ebay link for these isn't the smartest thing to do cuz I kinda wanna get em cheap, but I have never seen pivots with a heel piece like this. How does it compare to the "standard" ones on the fks and other pivots? Are they worth buying?

they look normal to me, but its hard to tell because the picture is a weird angle. you could probably email the seller and ask for better pictures.

these actually are the original pivots look made, they were discontinued in 08. they are good bindings if they are in good condition, however most shops won't mount them anymore because they were discontinued.

they are the same as old rossignol axial bindings. they are not like the fks since they aren't turntable bindings i can see your confusion though. i dont no much about these bindings look in the reviews section for rossignol axial 1 bindings.

It is a "turntable" design, just not the same as the original turntable.  The heel still pivots, it's just a little different. 

They're much easier to adjust and have a greater range though.
