A longshot, but I'm very patient to wait years for an offer...
I rarely reach for my Protests in my quiver, merely because I prefer heavier skis at speed---and I gotta believe there's a heavier version out there of this model.
So, if you can offer me any significantly heavier version of this ski model (see my measured weight below), then I'd like to trade, or buy, or whatever works out in the end. But I'm a cheap-ass bastard at the moment, so damaged swiss-cheesed beaters are OK, as long as they're significantly heavier than mine.
196cm Praxis Protest (I would also consider 192-196cm)
- 2308g per ski (too light for my tastes)
- Bought here used from Suprechicken, who said "Carbon Med/Stiff" 2013.
- Only ~35 days used, but Drilled 4x: DynaFit Radicals for 332 bsl at roughly +1cm, then SollyFit plates for 310 bsl at roughly +4cm (that was stupid), then SollyFit plates for 310 bsl at roughly +1cm, and currently Salomon 920 for 314 bsl at -8.3cm from TrueCenter. (Manufacturer dimple is at -9.7cm from TrueCenter, but Praxis later recommended -8.0cm.)
- 139-128-132, R=32, TrueLength=195.1cm
UPDATE: A TRADE FOR BILLY GOATS IS NO LONGER NEEDED. 1.75 years after starting this thread, I found a heavy pair weighing 2537g per ski.
191cm ON3P Billy Goat w/RES "Standard Layup" (I will consider any non-Tour layup, length 189-193cm, w/RES)
- 2326g per ski (too light for my tastes)
- Bought here used from original owner Suprechicken, who confirmed with certainty that these are "standard layup" 2014 bought directly from ON3P, (***BUT I think maybe my year might be lighter-weight than some other years.)
- ~55 days used, Drilled 2.5x (or maybe only 2x?): Dynafit Beast 16 at 294mm bsl, FKS at 310mm bsl (plus I can't remember whether or not there's another 0.5x drilling for FKS heels only, if my 314mm boot didn't fit in the 310mm holes...can't remember). Currently mounted are FKS DIN=15 toes, DIN=12 heels, and both brake arms of 1 heel were accidentally snapped off in a table vise before mounting (but with my newly improved brake bending skills, I can custom bend my extra FKS brakes for you).
- A significant topsheet chip on one tail. One very small but deep-ish 0.2cmx2cm base scratch is not quite to the core/graphics.
- 145-118-128, R=29.2, TrueLength=191.3cm
