I rode this bike from June 2012 to July 2014 and put a little over 7000 miles on it. Yes, it is a great ride and comfortable too. Then I found a used Silvio 2 on this forum in July 2014 and the rest is history. I have not ridden this bike since. It has been sitting in the barn wasting away. I have seen numerous folks on here looking for one soooooo, I feel the least I can do is try to see if there is someone LOCALLY (North TX) first. I do not want to ship this thing as it is something you just need to see and test ride before you buy. I built it up myself so I am very proud of it. My kids did help me strip it down right before I got the Silvio and Plasti-Dipped it in black. It does show some wear and tear but I promise everything on it works great and this thing is a perfect trainer for someone wanting a MBB FWD before the take the plunge on a full blown Silvio or Vendetta. I have kept a pretty good log on this thing as you can see below. I started with a 26" setup and moved to 700. Most everything on here was acquired used with the exception of those items noted below. If you have any questions please PM me here. I will check all weekend long and then if it doesn't sell, it will go up on other bike forums. Pictures before build to today (black) can be seen here.
