My understanding is that the Legolas was really one of the rarest bikes which has continued in the lineup. It was never a big production run, and even back when they announced it, I don't think they built more than a couple dozen. It was more or less the development of the original CX bike (very rare) and Mark's custom which he used for cross racing (there's a pretty serious cx contingent around the greater SF Bay Area). They were mostly '05 - '06 production. And not many of them.
When I ended up with a Hilsen back in aught nine, I had thoughts of getting a Legolas. But even then it was more or less custom order only. I don't even think Keven's bike was technical a Legolas. I think it would take a group effort to bring a size run of them in. Otherwise you would be looking at a custom order. You can do much, much worse than having Mark Nobilette build your frame for you. And that design by GP is solid. It's a thing of beauty in my book.
