Bikes: 1999 K2 OzM, 2001 Aegis Aro Svelte

How so? Let's assume the original owner bought the bike as soon as the 2002s first hit the stores... so that's possibly midfall of 2001... call it October or November if you really want to be conservative. It's now 18 months later. You're looking at an avg of around only 80 miles a week. Even if it was exactly a year old, that's 115 miles a week. Sure, it's a lot of miles but not an excessive or unbelievable amount for a serious rider... especially one that rides year-round and commutes a ways to work. I'm sure there are plenty of people who frequent this forum who exceed that amount in a 12 month period.
