skategoat Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 EDIT: Chopped prices to get these out of the basement. Where are all the people who wanted a cheap starter kit?. This stuff is in excellent shape. Starter gear especially if you want a wide SL board. Photos at bottom of post. Rossignol Accelerator 159 159 cm length 21 mm waist $60.00 It's at least 10 years old but it has been living in a dry, dark basement and has been ridden only a couple of times. The board looks almost new with only a few light sratches in the clear sheet. Base and edges are near perfect. I think price is fair given the condition but shoot me an offer if you feel otherwise. Oxygen O1 bindings $40.00 These are solid bindings with adjustable canting plates on both bindings. The toe clip has a nice design in that it locks into the bail rather than depending on the pressure from your boot to hold it. The red ring you see is a spacer that will help protect your board. Excellent condition with only some light scratches on the centre disc from scraping off ice with a ski pole. Used about four times in the last 5 years. I have 27.5 boots and there is plenty of room to go bigger. It will not adjust down to a 24mp (I know, I tried with my daughter's boots). Shipping is extra. edit: Model name of board corrected - thanks Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Houghton Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Henry, that's an Accelerator, denoted by the "A" in front of the size. Softer than the Throttle, and quite a nice board for the lighter rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tstanding Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Hey , I'd like to buy your bindings......... How do we proceed?.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Does anybody know the actual year of that board? Does that board have taper or is that just an optical illusion? How is it in fluff/bumps/off-piste? I'm just thinkin, wide waist, softer board... If it has taper... Maybe it would be alright for for a little pow with a little setback in the stance... Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshack Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 If pebu doesn't end up taking it, I might be interested in it for a similar purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retronaut Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Put me in line for the bindings. I am local so we can use cash and avoid shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allee Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 I have this board, use it as a rock board, and often wonder why I don't ride it more often. It's the most well mannered alpine board I've ever been on. It's a shame it's so retro-ugly and not the fastest board you'll ever ride, but at $60 in good shape, it's a steal.

retronaut Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 It is a little wider/softer than the throttle. I would compare it to a Burton Alp or maybe a little stiffer. Great beginner board and will serve you well on softer/slushy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 You can have it dshack. I'm supposed to be saving my money. You just saved me from myself. I'm really kicking myself, cause come on, 60 bucks! But just take it, cause I really SHOULDN'T be spending the money... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-mail me with specifics. My zip code is 12831 with shipping specifics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skategoat Posted December 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 Hard for me to say, I have only ridden the board twice. It is reasonably soft but it's rather wide and not meant for GS. It might be a good board to get started on but you'll probably want something longer, narrower and stiffer as you get to be a better racer.
