Got this on the RANS owners list:
 
 
My V2 Formula 26 is up for sale. This bike is flawless, clean as a pin, like a new bike. It's a 2006 model, and I've had it for almost exactly two years. I've put 2383 mi on it, and the previous owner if I recall correctly said he had put "about 750 mi on it." This bike is in near-pristine condition, a beautiful bike, no scratches or dings, only two very slight scuffs from putting a leg over the top tube, and a couple of very slight cable rubs where the housing contacts the frame. No chain slaps. The RANS clear-coated burnished aluminum finish is tremendous and the whole bike just shines.
 
This bike has much better componentry all around than the current similar low end 26/20 version reintroduced by RANS, or the stock 26/26 version now being built by a well known dealer and offered at nearly double the price.
 
Although this is a sweet ride and I've enjoyed it, I've recently acquired a V3 AL, so must let it go. I don't need two LWB bikes..
 
Price is $895. I'll contribute the packing, you pay the shipping. Will also entertain meeting a buyer within a reasonable driving distance of Knoxville, TN.

A note on the brakes. When I first got it I was intent on changing out the Tektro's for BB-7's but I never had an issue with the Tektro's, they're smooth and quiet and perform extremely well, so never felt the need to upgrade.
 
The bike has recently been tuned and everything performs as it should. Pictures at: http://picasaweb.google.com/FeetFirstFella/V2Formula26ForSale#
