140cm Sparta Bamboo Cross-Country Ski Poles - Classic Leather Ring Baskets - ALMOST NEW!! - 60+ Years Old!!!Beautiful pair of Norwegian Sparta brand poles. Sparta made cross country poles for ski touring until the 1970s. This pair has all of the classic features leather handle, leather straps, bamboo shafts, and bamboo 4 point leather ring baskets. A great time piece from the period right before plastic and composite materials took over Nordic equipment. These poles are only lightly used the baskets look almost new!! Size: 140cm Material: bamboo, leather

Boots soon adopted the 75mm width as standard

one could imagine that using Swedish steel as an input to a Norwegian-made ski pole might be a non-starter

Norway (sort of between Oslo and Lillehammer)

which in Norwegian is "rote felle"

lined boots that will be great for display or as part of a vintage ski kit

but if you reach out

You want camber

and the leather retains most of tis brown dye

No thinners - grab your spatula

Mfg date: early 80s
