Did anybody on here just purchase the OZ on eBay for $320? What a steal! It was a brand new, never used frame. I tried to get it at the last second on a chance I could steal it. I came in just under the winning bid. Good job to whoever got it (hopefully, it wasn't a flip deal).

Didn't see that? Damn.

I am glad it wasn't a small, I would have been upset that I missed it!

I was watching it. I was busy in the few hours leading up to the end of the auction and as such didn't place any bids.
It looked perfect although it didn't have the correct rear shock.
That would have really made a fun winter project. :'(

I think I would have just hung it up on my wall as an art piece for awhile and admired it since I have a 5500. It is a good looking frame.

Not this Medium one then? Pretty cheap as well!

I was able to grab one in the states a while back...someone posted it to eBay, I had a search notification set and bought it while at a stoplight. It was a brand new, never built 5500c still in the original K2 box, still in the wrapping, for $500. There was something interesting about the fork, though...one of the fork brake bosses was attached to the leg at the slightest angle, which made it difficult to set up the Maguras I wanted to run...but I happened to have another nice set of carbon legs and just used those instead. It's outfitted with all-black Spinergy Xyclones and a black Sram X.0 group, with black Thomson post & stem and black Magura HS33s and Adamant CNCd lever blades. If I remember I'll try to post a pic...I haven't been on the list in a while but do check back to see what people are talking about and selling. I'm holding stead at 3 Proflexes...the 956LE bought from Terry, my wife's 955 and the 5500c.
Hope all is well with everyone!

i like to see that pic too :)

Trying to upload the picture, but I keep getting error messages that the file is too large. Even when I shrink it. I also know that some of the pics on here are large and are very clear. How do I do that? Thanks.

That's mint. I would so love to find a new one of these! These frames are on a different level for ride quality. They really are that good.
If anyone spots another new frame for sale and you don't want it, please PM me.

Believe me when I say, I wanted that frame. I got bid over at, quite literally, the last second. Made me nauseous.
