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.

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?

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.

The bike was a steal at $950. Somebody got a real deal.

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?

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?
