Title: someone rescue this Oz
Post by: Thunderchild on June 10, 2007, 05:08:09 pm

Someone please rescue this brother and get some mud and knobbies on it.  And those handlebars...I am not even going to go there.  Well, at least the Noleen was changed out.  

How could I justify a second Oz...Father's Day...hmm

OMG!!!
This must be the same guy who welded a roof rack and trailer hitch on a Z06 Corvette.

Now if those rims had disk mounts, we might be on to something... I'm thinking an all carbon machine. Sweet.

Shouldn't there be a tall plastic windshield on those bars? If it had tri-bars I could understand the look.

cheers

Price has climbed to $510.

Yes, it kinda looks like a med.

I've owned a Large 5500 and a Medium Oz at the same time and I found that the difference is so minimal it's almost unnoticeable.
K2's measurements show a top tube length of 22.13" and 23.11" and a bottom bracket to fork dropout length of 24.88 and 25.87
so, just under an inch.
I'm sure the difference between M and L on the aly frames is greater?

P.s. I've kept the Mediums
