OK OK OK! I did it! I bought it!
Truth is, I've been working out a Hi Mod EVO frameset free crash replacement with the LBS. And after a lot of options and discussions back and forth, I expressed some frustrations and they are now helping me a lot. Offering this PM at this price, according to them, is being done to help me as I mentioned I've wanted one but invested on the crash protected expensive frame instead. So I couldn't help but think that maybe they're offsetting some costs and this used unit wasn't as great of a deal. The staff is great and is genuinely being helpful so I just talked more, assured that I'd get a 30 day grace period at least in case anything goes wrong, and gave them my CC.
Now waiting for this frame https://www.google.com/search?q=supe...on%3B900%3B486 and they'll slap the quarq and my old RED parts on there.

Yeah can't wait! Shouldn't differ much from my 2012 EVO whose seatstay cracked on a crash. But now I'll have a PM Yay! I think that FSA SL-K Light crank from the quarq will be an upgrade over my 2012 red crank and rings too. Yeah?

I'm not sure, I've only read about them (all good) especially when coupled with the Yaw derailleur...sorry I'm a Shimano Fan Boy

Oh good news then, because even though I have the 2012 RED gruppo, my FD was upgraded to the YAW. Glad it should work better now with those rings!
