My wife has a pair of swiss cheese 2014 176BG tours mounted with Marker Lords she's looking to part with.

DISCLAIMER: The mounting past is storied and confusing and as such, I'll only sell these to you if by some chance in hell the current mounting point/binding works for you. (287mm* @ + 0.5 from rec.)

The reason for not being on the line is that there are two previous mounts- one I don't remember (probably Tyrolia Attack?, but maybe Marker?) for ~282mm, and one for Dynafit Radical @ ~287mm that are garbage/overlapped/unusable (shop error).

*She was switching between 24.5 Scarpa Freedom SLs and 24.5 FT Classics at the time, so I don't know exactly which one was used to mount the Markers with, but I am pretty sure it's 287mm, because her next boot, 23.5 Cochise, (275mm) will fit in there, but are one click shy from the "correct" forward pressure setting (I *think* the Lord/Griffon/etc of that era had a little over 1cm each way in fwd pressure range?).

Feck, my head hurts, let me know if you want them and we'll work out a price.

Hey Al, i have a lange xt free 25.5 boot (296mm bsl). I'm not sure these would fit. What do you think? Also, I noticed you mentioned BG tours.. any idea how different those are from the standard BG's from that time? I'm looking for more of a resort ski since I have a jeffrey 108 tour from this year.

[CallMeAl]

I think they'll fit, and would actually put you closer to recommended mount point. I can double check that if you're interested.

These tour cores are thinner milled, lighter glass, full width carbon (instead of stringers).

[MattTheHat]

I'm feeling like the tour core is not going to be heavy/damp enough for the resort skiing I'm hoping to do with them.

I have the 2014 BG Tour and have used for resort skiing and they are great here in the PNW on deeper days. They are not my daily driver for resort , use Black Crows Navis , but can work depending on your needs.

I cant speak for the new tourcores but im pretty blown away how my steeple 102 with a simple dynafit binding skis inbounds. Its closer to alpine dampness/stability then any touring ski ive skied. I'd have zero issues using those as an inbounds daily driver with a cast , pindung or shift setup

While my skiing activities have been shut down since I got my new to me Steeple 102s (2105g) last Spring, I demoed 108s a few years ago and felt they were burlier than many non-touring skis. The inbounds limitations would be more about the bindings you mounted on them.

I suspect every touring BG and Steeple before this year's touring cores is the same layup - plenty burly and I'd let the weight tell me what I need to know.

IOW, I'd have no problem with those BGs. If I weren't looking for the current "proper" touring weight BG (this year's models) I'd snatch them up.

I just sold some 2014, 186 touring BGs to a buddy - 2350g, mounted for inbounds and way more burly than my GPOs.

I say buy 'em.
