Blowing a gale and lashing with rain yesterday afternoon. So woosed out on ride and offered a few parts up to the Proflex I accquired in the morning.Bit short of parts so had to completely strip the Rocky mountain for the moment. I like it a lot,what do you think?
In dire need of a rear mech hanger for it and a front mech but apart from that I think it will pretty much stay like this and i'll source other bits for the RM.

Looks great :cool: , gotta say though i prefer the earlier (92-93) Proflex but only for nostalgic had one BITD reasons, the later design is probably better for riding, i think the early one had 2" of travel at best.
 
Full sus virgin..

She's my first full sus so didnt want one with too much travel would have been like riding a waterbed after 20 years of hardtails!
 
There is a company called Wheels Manufacturing or Industries, I can't remember :oops: that make loads of hangers it could be worth a look to see if there is one that fits.
 
Lookin good! My 856 got a bit of a re-build yesterday too as it happens :)
