Hi All,

Does anyone have experience with a Shimpo RK-8?
How old is this model? Any problems/opinions?
Is $200 a good price? What should I look for regarding condition and wear?
Someone is in my area is selling one and I am interested in a second wheel.

I spent a summer with a borrowed ancient Shimpo it was not my favorite
wheel.

TIA,

showing off my "knowledge" of equipment to a class of students about
"Shrimpo" wheels.... my good friend, mentor and tormentor really razzed me
