Thanks. I saw your post on the MRA forum as well as on Craigslist. This bike is completely tricked out, and unfortunately I think it's still out of my price range even with the price drop (but probably worth every penny of what you are asking). I need a true starter bike since there are other start-up costs I'll need to incur (tire warmers, transponder, etc., etc.). I'd love to come take a look but I think I'd be wasting your time, as I set $3K as my absolute upper limit, and I'm sure you've got far more into the bike than that. If you are still a bit flexible on price, let me know. (303) 941-5936. Honestly, I'm not a low-ball kinda guy, and there's no doubt someone out there willing to pay your asking price or something very close to it.
