As much as I find 2R's amusing, it's even funnier to me that while he can throw out pissy comments to just about any thread, as soon as someone does to him, he gets really defensive and pissy back.

I'll be awaiting your comments
He's been around long enough to know that it doesn't matter how much you have into it - that reflects what you can get for it.
To address Tubsymac - Odds are you can find a pretty sweet aftermarket framed 250R for 5K. It all depends on how picky you are as to whether or not it stays at 5K. If you want something that is built exactly how you want, it may be easier and actually cheaper to build from scratch then to sink 5K into something then start all over. The only thing that makes it easier is to have all the little parts.
PM me if what you are looking for as I have a couple aftermarket frames.
