As a proud owner of a K2 OZm Carbon I have to say your desire to own one of these machines is very justified.  Now, how to get one.  Since you can't go back to 2001 and pick up a new one on closeout from Supergo for $400, you should start with eBay.  If you have an account you can setup saved searches in MyEbay.  They do pop up on there from time to time and are sometimes reasonably priced.  You may also want to do a "completed item search" on eBay and contact the seller of any auctions that did not sell.  Maybe they still have the bike or frame in their garage and are willing to part with it.  Hope this helps.

Good luck on your search.  If I come across one online I will post to this forum for you so keep an eye for any messages.  Just for the fun of it I went to one of my favorite sites wich is kind of like a time machine, kinda..

The WayBackMachine.org website:
From October 2000 archive
Here is a link to the edisountbike.com listing for the OZm frame for $499.
