Solstice Posted June 30, 2010 Share Yes, nice colour scheme...even the pedals are white.What did you spend so far??I'm not sure I should say on this forum...but the equivalent to this is the XTC 2 (with a few changes) and that's 11k. Think I spent a little more, but over a longer period...well, that's what I told the wife... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
