After not being able to skate the London to Brighton, I consoled myself with a bit of retail therapy. You could pretty much buy a Langster for this little collection. Most of the cost is in the frames, with a fair sum also in the small blue box of ceramic bearings. http://www.londonskaters.com/banners/P6260615.JPG
Second one is a 404, btw. Other than that, phwoarrr! But have you seen the roller skis with cross country pneumatics?

LOL on rollerskis, I have to say I think that's a pretty uncool thing to do, even if you're training for proper cross-country skiing. Purely my own warped taste though, and that skates are much faster than rollerskis.
But not clap skates by the look of it: is there a reason the speed skaters on wheels haven't followed those on blades down that particular avenue, or is it just you haven't got around to that level of retail therapy yet? ;-)

They did try the technology some years ago, but it never caught on. I guess the extra efficiency just wasn't there.
