The workshop clearour continues....
In boxes there is a compete proflex855 - the light one. Was just under 26 lbs stock and a bit lighter with some aftermarket add ons.
This was bought by me in 1995 at Magic Cycles - hence the M stickers on the forks. I used it on the South Downs, where it was an utter speed machine. Set up with one third sag - no one talked about sag then apart from two or three of us - it was a blast. Since I had a ridiculous number of bikes - errr still do - this was used alongside Marin Titanium, Marin Team, Orange of many types - and thus is still immaculate. Nuke Proof hubs and mavic rims, xtr here and there, lx elsewhere, wtb front, psycho rear. Of course the inevitable happened.....the elastomers packed up and went hard. I stripped the bike. Packed it in oil rags, and that was that. Only this weekend I have started to put it together. I have every part, they are just a bit distributed in boxes at the moment. It will be like the day it came out of the factory, bar the hard elastomers. Also it has a smattering of mint sauce stickers including the rare black outline ‘summer’ Female figure. Lovely.
Here is the frame but the bike will be built up to complete over the next two weeks after I do some digging in the boxes....
Sooooooo..........how much?
