WAY BIG PROFLEX 857 - Now with RISSE and CARBON CROSSLINKS!!
I finally made a decision on what to do with this one. At first, I wanted to leave it 100% stock, but I found that I actually disliked it! So I decided to do a few mods...
First order of business was to get rid of the ridiculous "test ride" decals. They were under a second layer of clearcoat...it was surgical but came out great. The kmart seatpost was replaced with a Thomson Elite and stem to match.
Aside from some longer Thomson seatpost bolts to get the saddle pointed in the correct direction, and some paint touch ups by my painter (when he has the time), this one is 100% done. The coolest thing about it is that it still retains ALL the factory soft parts (Tires, Grips and Saddle)
All stock parts are bubble wrapped and stored of course!
