[net.rec.ski] Want info on Edsbyn 282 X-Country skis

I am looking at a pair of Edsbyn 282 X-Country skis and would like
any info. about them that I could get.  They are 200cm long, which seems
about right for me (I'm about 5'9" or 5'10") and in very good condition.
Asking price for skis, poles, and boots is $60 but I'd have to buy new
boots and possibly have the bindings re-mounted to fit the new shoes.
  I'm new to the sport and therefore don't know if these are great skis,
although I don't need top-of-the-line equipmt. for my use.
  Any opinions would be appreciated.  Are they good?  Do they need wax? (They
have a plastic-like bottom).   Is the price right?  Original price 3 yrs. ago
was $160.
  Please e-mail any responses to me.



Thanx in advance.
