Re: BUMP - Postage £15 UK mainland

I rode/raced my Proflex 752 from new (1992) as a XC bike with a spot of downhill here and there till 2000 when I bought a Proflex 856. Got to ride a few Cannondales and was always tempted, however yes I thought the ride was harsh and the headshocks were stiff. Definitely not an all day bike...
