Title: K2 Carbon swingarms for sale!
Post by: sdmike on December 31, 2003, 07:17:42 am
I have 2 carbon swingarms for sale.  They are both in near new condition and will fit an Oz frame or any EVO frame.  One is just like stock and the second one was for K2 Team issue only (~200g lighter).

Stock swingarm:  US$120 or best offer

Race swingarm:  US$150 or best offer

Buyer pays shipping.

Let me know if you want to see pictures.

It's the first time it's ever been mentioned on this forum - at least since I've been posting here, which is about 3.5 yrs. Haven't heard about it from any other source either. Very interested to hear more...

just to add that I have never heard of the race swingarm either and I thought I was a bit of an authority on the millions of swingarms types that have come out with K2 stickers on them!!

HOWEVER, I carried one of the K2 Bike international team bikes and was extremely light.  It belonged to... erm, I can't remember her name but she was a rather gorgeous german girl who got a 9th at the 1998 XC grundigs.   (anna???)

I also caught a glimpse of a carbon 957 prototype many years ago that had little or no skeleton and weighed nothing.

so it would not surprise me if there are some very light parts floating around.  I light swingarm with a race wheelset would improve the suspension feeling massively.

This swingarm is one of a handful that Easton made for the K2 Team.  Not sure how many are out there, but I know it isn't many.  I'll post pictures and actual weight tonight.

Someone has already claimed the Team swingarm, but if that doesn't go through then it'll be back up for grabs.

I still have a stock weight carbon swingarm that is for sale too.
