I've never ridden one. I doubt that very many actually exist. At the time, Kogswell had numerous models listed, none of which seemed to actually be obtainable. I would guess that he had maybe 50 or 100 of each model, distributed across various sizes, before he moved on to the next model (i.e. the P/R). Perhaps Matthew reads this list and will chime in to add his much more credible input.
