Paketa V2 on TCA?
Anyone know anything about the pending ad for a Paketa V2 on TCA? It seems to have been pending for a while... Google searches suggest it might be a medium frame and possibly located in Golden Co???

Yeah, caught the thread on that one herein, and took to heart all the comments/concerns. Just for grins I contacted seller for the serial number hoping to get more info from Paketa but so far no joy. Wouldn't mind finding a good used frame, especially an"R" but that listing seems a bit "off..." Who puts that much into a frame and puts that level of "components" on it?

It might be worth asking the seller about buying frame only if that's of interest.

And I thought I was the only one who did that, but still, it's like mounting whitewalls on my Porsche.
While the list price is a bit high as a complete bike, frame only would talk me right out of it, especially since I could "deal" with the lower level V2 frame brand new with warranty [and only a little heavier] for a grand less. I could actually use the parts off this one to finish out another project I have going, so I could use the parts after I rebuild.
Probably a moot point as I've sent two messages to the seller with no response and there's no way I would bid without getting my questions answered. If he's desperate to sell he'll probably relist... If not it's not meant to be and I go with a different, possibly new, frame.

LKW. I got your pm but can't reply. Not enough postings apparently. Please send me your email address in a PM. Sorry about the OT post, all.
