So big you had to say it twice Juss :LOL: ;)
 
Looks very nice indeed. Have you got any close up photos, large or small ;-), of the rear shock adapter and what's it's made from, Ali or steel? Is it machined from one solid piece or welded?
I never seen someone go to the trouble of making an adapter and then fit a Risse shock. Risse are one of only two suppliers that sell the correct fitment shock for Proflex with the cone end.
 
I was going to put girvins on but unluckily bike is not with me anymore... but will do another one sooner or later :)
 
for you SPOKES... hope it helps

frame came to me already with that adapter... and it did look like custom made but not welded... can remember but I think it was aluminium...

Simple yet effective. It's hard to tell but the cone almost looks hand filled. Did the job though.
 
YES IT WORKED... I BEEN COUPLE TIMES IN WINLATTER AND GISBURN NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT...I REMEMBER WHEN I BEEN LOOKING THOROUGH GOOGLE IMAGES I FOUND ANOTHER PROFLEX WITH EXACTLY SAME THING SO POSSIBLY PREVIOUS OWNER TRIED TO COPY IT... ANOTHER THING WHAT I RECEIVED WITH THAT FRAME WAS CUSTOM MADE DISC MOUNT BUT I NEVER USED IT...
