Jinder, you got that right!

 I would'nt part with my Oz. A couple of years ago you could buy as many framesets as you wanted as part of a warehouse liquidation by EdiscountBike. Not anymore. I paid $799 for the frameset. In 1999 the bike sold for $4000. I wanted one then but could'nt stomach the price.
 This frameset was so ahead of it's time that it is a shame that K2 retired the design.

 You have a gem in that 957 you have though, you lucky punk. Did you ever see that 957 carbon version that Bob Girvin unveiled at the 1997/1998 Interbike show? It was the showstopper apparantly. Then K2 took over and we saw the 4000/5000.

Kiwi...that 957 carbon model sure is sweet hey?  I sure would love that machine...but then again who wouldn't   :)
I wonder where it is right now?  Think Bob Girvin kept it for himself?

Yes, you are right Terry I sure love my 957 - totally love it.  The OZ is such a lovely machine though...I'm sure I will find one for sale in the future.  No big rush though...I'm very very very happy with the 9.  

If you guys ever seen a OZ for sale just let me know...thanks mates!
