Hi,
It’s definitley a 17″. I have loved the Magura Hydraulic brakes, they have worked flawlessly, but as you say I am sure there are people that don’t liek them. I would love to see a pic of your wifes bike with the painted spins. I have never seen another pair other than mine and a set at an old bike show years ago where spin had a booth, which gave me the idea, but those were not white. Oh I know street value to what I think its worth are two seperate things. I am relaistic though. But I do know there probably are not many of these frames left out there. I would like to keep it together as I would not have use for the parts without frame and so on. But if you feel inclined to shoot an offer over to me, go ahead. All I can say is no, and thats its.
