Vendetta V2 (Large) for sale

[ratz]

So, the question everybody wants to ask Robert: Are there any "medium" V2.2 chainstays available in your "attic"?

It would take a v20 fork and a medium stay the axel linkage is unique.

and possibly what is the exact location of said "attic" too larry.

I'm talking about "Robert's attic". If there are any "old" V2.? parts around, I reckon he would be most likely to have them, maybe next would be Jim & Maria, and/or John T.

Rat,
So, does that mean you made a deal? Whole bike? Bring her up here to NTX so we can all rest ride it! Purity please.......

 

[Rat Rider]

It means we have made a deal for the frame and wheels. I am not in possession yet. I am planning to pick it up in the next couple of weeks.

Congrats. I hope your fit works out better than what is shown in the photos, I have never seen the boom angled like that before.

I think there is a bit of a visual/angle issue with the sale picture. I could not find another bike pic setup with the boom slammed and the steering tube in the lowest position. The picture below is close. I imagine if the bike below was moved to the lowest position above the headset, it would also be around level or appear slightly elevated. The pic below also appears to have the rear wheel slightly higher than the front.

Cutting off the boom cannot have any effect on the bike's original geometry; it limits the adjustments, but doesn't somehow change the original frame.

Or at least, that's my story...

When I first got my V, my boom angle was all wrong. The nose was higher than the handlebars! Turns out I got a large chainstay instead of a medium, and my legs weren't long enough for the large! Maria sent me a medium chainstay after that, of course.

Congrats, Rat Rider!
