You might want to post your question on Bentrideronline where there are many more readers. Bicycleman in Alfred NY is still a dealer for Rans reumbent bikes.and carries some parts. He has a description of the Rans V2 and it came in at least two sizes from that description. You should be good to go on the standard size since he recommends the XL frame for anyone 6'2" or over. Most parts on recumbents with the exception of the seat and some steering components are conventional bike parts available everywhere (when in stock these days!). It looks like the current iteration of the V2 is the Rans Stratus.
My recumbent bikes all have underseat steering so bumping your knees on the steering isn't a problem on them,
