that's a good tip - thanks. the frame is at £26 with 9 hrs to go. so it's going to be an utter bargain for some lucky person.

Local powder coat guy did it for me. The glitter really shines up in the sun. Basically it's 3 layers, base dark blue powder coat, glitter and then a lacquer finish - baked in the oven at gas mark 10 for an hour and voila.

In case you already have a k2 razorback rs, i've got a noleen pull shock and a spare seat stay strut in separate auctions!

I'll refund postage if you fancy coming to pick it up.

yeah - I sold a carbon frame last week and only put 15 quid for the frame and nearly died when I got to the post office. Not only have they put up first class postage but all the parcel prices have gone up as well.

Thanks dude, I was a bit surprised at the response given that retrobikers I've met and sold to over the years seemed pretty chilled. hey ho. I've got an extremely rare k2 razorback rs frame to sell as well, complete with 2 spare struts and spare push shock. £499 and it's yours. It's got...

Yeah, someone once was asking about some proflexy stuff years ago so I logged in to lend a hand, plus I bumped into some retrobikers at the singlespeeds at dalby2009. That was a real life encounter, I.e. out actually on bikes rather than posting from the sofa watching synchronised swimming...

yes, a Catalonian company bought the Proflex USA brand 4 or 5 years ago (I couldn't afford it!!) after K2 Bike decided to reduce their investment in bikes. The new Proflex USA have been running XC racing teams for a while - I bumped into them at Fort William a few years ago - with their carbon...
