Thanks, Mike - Got it! I called the guy a few hours after the initial contact, and he said the the CL responder he was holding it for flaked out - go figure.....

So I went and grabbed it. Take a look - very clean, with no wear evident on the components. The only problem with it is the POS red label RD. It's brand new for pete's sake, and still doesn't work right.

It has already been replaced with a nice Suntour Honor......
