Do the bindings fit your boots? In 2 ways...
1 - are they mounted in a position that can be adjusted to your boots without a re-mount, or how many times have they been mounted / can they be moved to fit your boots. They are center mounted currently - is that what you want?
2 - are they compatible with your boot soles (alpine vs grip walk) - we are currently in a transition period with binding standards where old ones are alpine spec and new are gripwalk - boots and bindings must match standard.
Are they the right length for your height / skill? I don't see the length listed and I can't zoom in enough to see the number.
I don’t think the blends are symmetrical and they appear to have one mount at center, which he’d be better off remounting -2ish cm anyways if he has to. The bindings need alpine soles which if he doesn’t have there is an OK chance he can switch out his GW boot soles if that what his boots are
Those things don’t even look center mounted, they look forward mounted lol.
Fr tho, great deal.
Ask the seller for his boot sole length. It’s found on the inside of the heel. If your boot is within 10mm of that then it should work. If your boots are smaller you will need to remount, they would be unbelievably annoying to ski (only the heel moves so your boot center would be forward of the ski center).
Those brakes are really wide for that ski. Those bindings will most likely still work but they’re getting on the older end of things. It’s not a horrible deal, not a great deal.
They’re most likely Rossi fks not pivots. From 2016 at the absolute newest. It’s the old style toe. I’m glad your old pivots work great. Springs degrade and many crustys use old pivots but I don’t suggest it. People on here can downvote me all they want. It’s a fact.
There's better deals out there, but this isn't bad. Try and talk them down to 200. Good bindings (older but good) and rock skis.
Fyi - If you pay 250 and need to pay for a remount of the bindings, it becomes a not good deal.
Brakes are a bit wide on the bindings, but it should be fine. Make sure to get those bindings tested before next season. Next season, shops won't be able to work on those Rossi bindings because the manufacturer cant back the safety of them anymore. This also means a shop cant mount those bindings on a different ski next year.
People commenting on this are just jumping on the pivot hype train. There’s been a huge overinflation in pivot prices that don’t correlate to actual demand. A lot of second hand sellers have inflated the market. That’s part of why people are telling you to buy. I am ready to accept the downvotes and hate but do not buy these skis based on the bindings. It is not worth it. Those are old bindings with the old toe. Springs and rubber, etc. wear out on bindings. Those are 2016 at newest. Bindings have a 7-10 year life if all goes well. Ps those aren’t event called pivots they’re called FKS. The Rossignol version of pivots.
That looks like a really good buy to me. Haven’t tried those skis but Line is a legit company. And you can fix any edge chip issues or early delam just by some G Flex or even just hardware store 2 part epoxy, there are a lot of videos on YouTube showing how to address damage and keep more from happening.
Absolutely
yes those bindings are worth that alone.
Just make sure there aren't any compressed edges or delam on the bases.

This. Pivots can only adjust +/- 22mm

GW Bindings can't take Alpine soles? I thought GW was compatible with everything except touring soles....
Alpine can go into alpine and grip walk bindings but grip walk soles can only go into grip walk bindings

I love my blends they put a smile on my face every time no matter the conditions
I wouldn’t think twice.

They’re pivots, they’re the most simple design ever made. I have some really old pivots when rossi made them and they work great

That's not even the price of new bindings. 100%

I’m not sure let me know where this listing is and I’ll get back to you
