I'll bump this for ya...as I am interested in these as well. My '88 era frame doesn't have rack mounts and i'll be needing panniers early next year and would love to know how good these are.

*RACEFACE*

my 1993 proflex 953 seatpost is 28.6mm. last number denoted year 752 = 1992, 753 = 1993. as far as i can tell the first number just represented how high up the foodchain the bike was. the 953 didn't have a component 'group' it was a bit of this and a bit of that...ringle, white industries...

drotos.toth - you have a pm

the reptiles rear suspension was just like the '93 bikes in that it was only an MCU and was attached in the same way as the '93 bikes. only difference was it had adjustable screw down compression/sag(that big silver knurled wheel) where as the '93 ones you had to dismantle and add washers to...

me, i have a modernish bike I put my hands up, i have a modern bike...2005 bauer hot chilli frame (NZ brand). only thing original on it is the crank and headset! and it does have a retro part - NOS XTR M900 L/hand shifter! how does it ride, absolutly dead, no feel what so ever in it nothing...

it can be deposited here in new zealand if you like, that way it truly will be out of sight, out of mind!! :lol: build it up, admire it and ride it, and have all those fond memories come flooding back

my '96 syncros Ti post always makes me smile when i see it.

you can do what you want with the spacers, as long as you can get it to snug up properly with no play and conversly it doesnt bind because you have removed the spacers. I've had to run one of those cranks with the 3 spacers on the non drive side. sounds like you will have to run all 3 spacers...

the inverted forks i can recall off the top if my head are: foes f1 rst xxl white brothers cannondale moto 120 mazocchi shiver to me they look like stripped bare shivers form 2002-2005 era

i think BBB do a 22 or 24 granny. the race face rings should fit as i am running suntour microdrive outer and middle rings and a buzzsaw granny on my turbine cranks. as long as the BCD is correct you should be able to mix 'n' match rings to your hearts content. you'll be fine with the 22...

is it still available?? would you consider sending it to new zealand?

i used a common old normal lx bottom pull on my 95 proflex....interesting to note that the subtly changed the angle of the seat tube on the '96 ones for better Fd operation/compatibility

proflex instructions say that the swing arm should fall under its own weight

If anyone gets the one on ebay....lose the judy xl. they break the headtube off very easily if used with anything over 80-90mm forks...seen 2 of them do it, other weak spot is the seat tube...people run the post above the weld on the seattube/toptube junction and it snaps that bit off easily...
