nice deal on a V2 (not mine)
Not a stock color...unless I missed seeing that color/
It says the bent was build up from a frameset. Mark Power @ Power-On Cycling was selling NEW pre-2003 V2 Framesets for $850.00 a few months ago...this may have been one of them. Even if it was a $850.00 frameset...the toys added to that V2 would easily put it over $1500.00 completed. *************************************** "rich westerman" wrote in message s.com... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...2592&category= 7298 Wow, heck of a deal! Why the pause? Those are some of the best brakes available. High dollar too I imagine. Wondering about the color? nope, just that I've never had a bike with hydraulics and I've recently seen some cautionary posts here regarding them. btw, is that a stock RANS color? rich V2 |

I am not sure what the cautions are that you heard about hydraulic brakes but I will tell you that the Magura Louise brakes, which I have used for the past 2 1/2 years, are the most trouble free, best performing brakes that I have ever used. If you are referring to a line rupture, it just doesn't happen and I would be willing to bet that it is less likely to happen than a cable failure. Harry Jiles |

Westerners often forget this fact, non-Westerners never do." Samuel P. Huntington, Harvard Professor and author. What a load of crap! Is this guy seriously trying to say "the West" is morally inferior to, what, such peace-loving non-westerners as Pol Pot, Ghengis Khan, Momar Khadaffi, Emperor Hirohito, Kim Jong-il, Yassar Arafat? Is it now the norm to be a celebrated professor at a major university and be an absolute idiot? M. Nelson |

High dollar too I imagine. Hey, this is an auction. The price will go up from "great deal" to "reasonable" in no time. (And sometimes higher...) Anyway I've never seen a disc-brake equipped V2. If one wanted to do a similar modification, what's the best method? Would one need to get the mounts brazed to the frame by a frame builder, or are there other options?
