My inventory list says I have three, all 220mm in length. Two with black flutes and one plain silver. Let me know if the length works and I’ll dig them out to verify their existence.

This one has been posted forever and bantered about in this forum more than once. IIRC, it started out at $1,500 and now sits at $1,100. My takeaway from discussions on that bike is it’s a $700...
