tru but they're around center mounted and apparently skis feel shorter when centered

also does it matter how you measure your height with skis? like do you measure ur height with ski boots on or off

because with my ski boots I'm around 177cm I think

that's a really good price (assuming the condition is as nice as described) esp considering they're attack 16s but you don't want skis 11cm over head (well you might but if you did you would know it)

both the skis and the bindings (the 12/13/14 version) have super reasonable retail prices and often get quite cheap during the offseason. if you can wait, you might get that same setup brand new (with warranty!) in your size for only like 100 more bucks or so. right now i see it online for about 200USD more

those are too short, if you don't ride skis 20cm above your head you're not core
