You may want to check my website which more or less specializes in the
quicksilver. There AD notices lited, my comments about them, a great
section on custom building an MX II Pluss, and I just issued the third
installment of a basket case I am rebuilding for a customer.

Check this latest section at http://www.trikite.com/newstufl.htm and
also

There is also a group of ul enthusiasts that have an email group
