Nice SF2 in Colorado at mainline dealer.

Just that the shop didn't know what they had. Sold too fast, thus too low on the price curve. That's a USD10K bike here - maybe a bit more.

Jolly good thing then.
If the shop's happy and the seller's happy and the buyer's happy.
I hope that the bike will get used.

Well- I think I had it priced right. You never know, right? I've seen some languish with a price of $10k. Could I have gotten $9k? $9500? maybe. But with the story behind this one, I felt good about how it was priced.

My thoughts exactly. I feel good about it. Better on the road than just hanging out in my garage... And I live in a small town up in the mountains. Hard to find someone who wants to work on it when things are out of my league.

They know what they had- I was the one that set the price. It's not a $10k bike, in my opinion. And I'm the guy who sold it.

Well I applaud reason. Well done.

ha! Thanks Paul. I like reason... but I find it to be elusive to me more often than not.........

Bike is gone, so I fixed your words of wisdom.

Thanks, I'm always open to constructive criticism.

Does seem like an Ace was dealt to us holding a Jack face down and we sort of hesitated and didn't put the chips down. A hesitation and opportunity has moved on. Does seem like a real deal. I have an SF1. This one would be fun to compare - like how different. Certainly the disc brakes. But I like the Super Friones just fine. Thanks for sharing the link to it. Seems a real out of the blue one.

Same bike apart from the front brake and on most SF2s, the 38mm fork. The first ones had the 35mm, a bit puny for the twin discs.

Paul

The very first ones were 35 mm and single disc ........ would probably test the limits of fork flex.

There weren't many with single discs, maybe no more than a handful.
I've only ever seen one and I've seen hundreds of 750s.
