What I see? I see I have the aforementioned rims. They are on the bike. The one in the picture. I appreciate everyone's thrift regarding other people's disposable income though; cautioning against spending money as a hedge against buyer's remorse is a good thing. It also sets up the inevitable opportunity to say 'I told you so!' As for some magical bullet for handling/performance I don't think this would be it. I am under no misconception that this bike would be a GIXXER killer through the canyons as a result of a this frame. Feel free to find my choice to put an emphasis on weight reduction as a bit fanatical but what I think iis this is a neat frame, I want it. Do I want it enough to pay the price? Who knows, maybe. Frankly, there aren't alot of things I have left to do/upgrade on the bike. Assuming the forks show up, I'm down to pretty much a monster engine and the frame.
I bought a second vmax after waiting 6 months for the third party supplier to get my parts done. No reason his/her/shem's inability to complete or communicate reasons for delays should hinder my enjoyment of the summer season.
