New V3 Has Arrived - Disassembled
Jul 28^th, 2008, 6:57pm

Good News - I received my V3 Ti today. It's used, but wasn't ridden. There is absolutely no wear on the idler, wheels, bakes, rear der., etc.

Bad News - it is completely disassembled; looks as if it came directly from Rans. I called PCF and while Angie will take it tomorrow during her lunch hour, it will take at least a week for them to build. Too bad I don't know Rick well enough to try to have it finished by the end of the week, or better yet, had the tools and ability to assemble it myself.

Heck, keep it two weeks!
