Thanks for the information Phil. Fortunately I live in Sacramento, frequently do work in the Reno/Tahoe area, and have a Squaw/Alpine season pass, so I will throw these boxed Race 140s in my car and make some stops at local shops -- see if I can find someone willing to work on them. Have a pair of little used Head Monster im82 on which I was going to mount these for early season turns and what looks like stretches of hard piste skiing -- rock ski conditions. On the Monsters, I currently have a set of Look Pivot 14 (chrome) and wanted to transfer them onto a pair of newly acquire Fischer Motive 95ti. If no takers will see if a local ski club or other such DIYers would want them -- just hate to throw away what just a year ago were covered binders, especially ones in such clean shape.
BTW, your description of this decade old pivot version per new coke is absolutely correct. That was a puzzling and disappointing decision by Rossi/Look back then. Alas I have a couple of other pair mounted on sticks from the early 2000s. And in great shape due to our ongoing drought. Oh well. On a related note I should chime in on your bring-back-the-Look Pivot 15 thread. I am too light to use the 18s but would gladly pay the extra dollars for that solid metal full pivot toe in a lower din.
