Hi, do you still have this? My mechanic friend here in Switzerland has a VRS 3.0 that he won't give up on, and I've been searching for that rear aluminum frame part for him for forever. He bought it for his son many years ago, but the bottom arms have bent. M-28 inches. IBOC sticker. Would you pretty-pretty-pretty please send it to me?

The chainstays were a failure point on these frames, I went through a couple.

Wow, finally found the photos. Taken May 19, 2014. How can it possibly be seven years and it's still hanging in his workshop?

Are they interchangeable with many other models? Where does one go to stock up on chainstays?

 

[Baulz]

I'm not sure if they if others would fit or not. I wrapped mine in a bunch of carbon fiber to prevent another failure.

Dear seller, would you please consider bending your rules and take a chance on sending this to me? I joined just to beseech you, so can't DM yet. But I am a trustworthy person, for an American ... in Switzerland ... and I've had good luck with shipments from the UK making it to me. And it would sure make my mechanic friend's year! -- Jay

Sorry only just seen this. It went ages ago. Think I even gave it away as can’t remember selling it.

Drat and darn. Oh well, thanks for the response! Maybe if you come across another, some day ...
