Said deal was, indeed, brokered... Dave Rothgeb drove up there, and worked a trade for his Ti StratusXP, and with a bit of extra cash, brought back the Carbon Xstream.... and two Trizards, to boot!!!

After a bit of tweaking, we took the CX out and rode from his house to WRL for a shakedown cruise, with me on the Xstream26. Let's just say I don't think I'll be dropping Dave on the hills any more!!!

He likes.... I'll post a couple pics soon.

They did, indeed... Dave liked them when we rode them at the Rally, and is thinking about one for his wife, and the other for a friend going through some medical/rehab issues... They need a bit of tweaking, but they're fun!!! I think they were the last ones RANS had, since they stopped making them last year...

Yeah, the garage is pretty full!!!!!
