Wow, are the Gazelles really that cheap now? I just checked Ebay and even with crazy shipping prices, I can still get them cheaper. I had no idea, but it's definitely on my list of next purchases, though. Seems like it'll be well worth it. Thanks!

I agree that it would be an excellent purchase though of course with the size, yes you will pay a lot of shipping. But check out the companies in advance of purchase and you can make sure you don't get over charged, or else that the seller hasn't missed a cheaper option.

Alternatively, check out the Craigslist and Freecycles for your area. You might find something close enough to pick up.

HTH.

I agree. 2 weekends ago I skied all day and my legs were killing me afterwards. Then last weekend, I skied all day again, and my legs were fine. Skiing is the best exercise for skiing.

Especially skiing hard. Good exercise, that.
