Formalities out the way... :D Here's what I've got.

Shimano LX M550 Crankset
46/36/24, good condition, middle ring is a Vuelta, graphics just about intact on the drive side, threads and tapers all good - £25

Middleburn Chainrings
Silver DH 42T - £8

Giant Seatpost
27.2mm - taken out of new bike so only marks from removal and slight pitting on clamp which would remove with a dab of Autosol - £10

Avocet Kona Saddle
Small tear on front but otherwise good condition - £10

Bontrager Race Light Lux Saddle
Again removed from new bike, marks from storage but never sat on - £10

Kalloy Stem
Quill, polished and transfers in good condition, 130mm - £8

Orange CNC Stem - Black
110mm - great condition, couple of marks - £12

100mm - Bolts a little rusty on their allen heads - £8

Shimano Deore Rear Mech

Shimano LX V-Brake Levers
Great condition - used for less than 150 miles been sat on bike in garage for a few years - £10 SOLD PENDING PAYMENT

Shimano LX M550 Hubs laced to Araya CV7 Rims
Owned by me for years and been on 3 different bikes, one Panaracer Smoke Tyre and one Moby Duck 'Smoke' copy fitted, wheels a little out of true and the front hub bearings feel a bit gritty so could do with a service and clean but ideal for period build or work hack. The tubes are very old so I'd recommend replacing them. Will be posted in wheel box - £35

I thank you - pics below, if anybody wants more detailed shots or more info just holler (or ask politley, I'll respond to either ;))


1997 Proflex Beast SOLD
With some regret I'm putting this up for sale - bought off of Sidewinder who in turn had bought it off clockworkgazz, I had the idea that if I include my g/f on rides she might be a bit more positive about my spending but as is always the way she hasn't quite got the bug...

Frame: Proflex Beast - Large

Fork: Girvin Chubby Triple Clamp

Headset: Tange
Stem: Race Face 90mm
Handlebar: Titec Hellbent
Grips: Gripshift

Brakes: Magura Hs11

Shifters: SRAM Gripshift ESP 700
Front Derailleur: Shimano LX
Rear Derailleur: SRAMESP 9.0

Tubes: On presta one schrader...

Saddle: Selle San Marco RS Duo
Seatpost: Bontrager
Seatpost Binder: Hope

There's a couple of stonechips but most have been touched up and don't detract, the seatpost has been chopped down a little, the front mech needs some adjustment and a couple of the spokes are a tad loose on the wheels but the bike has only been ridden 30 miles since I bought it (28 of those me...) - apparently something to do with not being able to touch the ground when you're sitting on the saddle.

I have changed the rear mech for a carbon composite SRAM 9.0 and the stem to a shorter Race Face version.

It's a really, really nice bike to ride, both shocks are very plush with the Chubbies being buttery smooth but I have my RTS to finish and a new arrival coming so needs must.

I paid £140 for it and considering I've added very few miles and a couple of new bits to it I'd sell for no less than that - £140 posted in a bike box

I'll also include the polished swingarm and original Kore stem below if should you wish to swap them over provided they haven't sold.

Proflex Polished Alloy rear swingarm
As above but hand rubbed/polished (not by me), could do with tidying a little around the edges - £15 SOLD

Proflex 757 Expert (Size Large) with Risse Genesis Air Shock
